You're so money and you don't even know it! Ah, you probably do.
After only 17 days, AVATAR has grossed over 1 BILLION dollars around the world, is the 4th highest grossing worldwide movie of all-time and sits in 15th place domestically (see charts below). It’s still at #1 on the box-office and has not lost even 10% of its audience. Weekend 1 ($75M). Weekend 2 ($73M). Weekend 3 ($68M). You can’t doubt James Cameron anymore. By the end of the week, the film is expected to surpass Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Return of the King to become the #2 worldwide release. Cameron’s Titanic remains seated at #1. Cameron has become the first director to have two films earn $1 Billion. And by the end of the week, it should be up to $3 billion total between the two movies. The man will be able to do anything, but I’m still holding out for a Terminator 3 (I said what I said). Read our AVATAR Review here and notice it on our list of movies you should have seen in 2009.

Review: Avatar (2009)
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
I saw AVATAR this past weekend with no expectations. Believe it or not, I stayed clear of a lot of hype – you might thank me for not posting a million stories on CoF about it. This was my FIRST 3D movie; I was unaware of this non-option as well until the nice gal at the Box Office informed me it’s only in 3D. So was it everything the internet world has said it is? Yes. Yes it is. New technology had to be created to make this movie, James Cameron held out until it was invented. The man has patience. He’s told a story that isn’t from a comic, teen novel, or TV show. This movie is why theater going will never die (so I hope). There should be a lot of comparisons to Star Wars; Cameron has created just as Lucas did; a new world of exploration, characters and storytelling. The movie going experience itself was nothing short of extraordinary and I would like to do it again. This was the event of the year and the best way to send 2009 into history.

Director: James Cameron
Writer: James Cameron
Cast: Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi
Synopsis: In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na’vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.
Avatar is the BIGGEST movie of 2009. There is literally no other movie that in any way, shape, or form that could conceivably be bigger. It’s the first theatrical movie written and directed by James Cameron since Titanic, i.e. the highest grossing movie EVER. [from my best of yet to come]
Cameron has spent the better part of a decade prepping for Avatar and had to wait for technology to catch up for his creation to be made…jesus. In theaters: December 18, 2009. JUMP FOR TRAILER (give it a moment if it doesn’t start, many o people are watching). Check it out at apple if you like. I won’t spoil anything, but yes…this is fantastic.
