Well I Said We Both Liked It,

and I guess we were not wrong, Avatar takes $1bn to become the fourth biggest movie of all time... in less than three weeks, James Cameron's 3-D sci-fi epic has earned $1.02billion, powered by sales of $202million during the New Year holiday weekend, distributor 20th Century Fox said, the only movies ahead of it in the all-time list are Cameron's own Titanic ($1.8billion), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12billion), and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($1.07billion), the huge ticket sales and positive reviews vindicate Cameron, who spent an estimated $400million and a decade making the film, in its first weekend in Britain, Avatar grossed $13.6million (£8.5m) - a great success but strangely less than the vampire film New Moon, which to be truthful I can not recall hearing about, there was a few trailers when we watch Avatar, perhaps it was one of those, in which case I was totally underwhelmed.
