With Avatar just dominating the boxoffice, it was only a matter of time before it inched ahead of The Dark Knight’s impressive billion.
But will it eventually climb to the top of that list?
Boxoffice Mojo reports the All Time Worldwide takes:
1. Titanic $1,842,879,955
2. Return of the King $1,119,110,941
3. Dead Man’s Chest $1,066,179,725
4. Avatar $1,018,811,000
5. The Dark Knight $1,001,921,825
Avatar sure has a LOT of steam just flying in a staggering 3 weeks to accomplish that cool billion.
However Avatar still hasn’t matched The Dark Knight’s domestic boxoffice.
I have only to wonder how much longer this will last? Can Cameron’s Magnum Opus trump his previous film – Titanic, that currently has a comfy untouchable #1 spot with $1.8billion worldwide?
Here I was wondering if the film would have the broad appeal it would need to even make back its rumoured $500million production budget, let alone the hidden costs of promotion.
