That's domestic North American gross, since you are in Finland, wouldn't you be more interested in the international gross?
I don't think they have numbers adjusted for inflation but in terms of international gross, Avatar has to be top 5 at $2.467 Billion. If that's not enough to make someone curious to see it, to each his own.

Oh well, it'll propably be on TV a few times, maybe I'll catch it there.
Kind of hard to care, still waiting to meet anyone who thought it was good.

Interestingly in Finland, Avatar hasn't even passed Ice Age yet.
1 Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs $4,971,898
2 Avatar $4,923,292
Maybe no one cares or they didn't show it in 3D in Finland? Maybe there's no Imax there? Over here, it's still packed over the weekends and you need to show up 45 min early at least to get a decent seat. Imax is still full, even on a weekday. I wouldn't actually bother watching this on TV. The whole point is the visual experience. IMHO, if you're not watching in IMAX in 3D, you are missing the experience and you miss the point of the film.
