James Cameron's Avatar Passes 1 Billion Dollars Worldwide
Submitted by da411girl
James Cameron has done it again, this time with science-fiction movie "Avatar" hitting the billion dollar movie mark worldwide in its short time of release.
"Avatar" has become the reigning juggernaut of movies, as a result of a massive multi-million dollar promotional campaign, stunning movie reviews, and moviegoers' good word of mouth.. It's made millions domestically and shot past $1 billion worldwide, being the fifth blockbuster to achieve that. Cameron's film Titanic also hit that mark in it's 1997 mega-release, and went on to gross $1.8 billion worldwide.
Bert Livingston said, "It's like a runaway freight train. It just keeps doing business." Its results like this thats making Livingston and other 20th Century Fox executives laugh straight to the bank.
James Cameron now stand as only filmmaker with two billion dollar movies under his belt. "Avatar" is now close to beating out the previous holder of top grossing movies worldwide, and that record holder being "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."
It seems evryone wants to see Avatar, and Cameron has a lot to smile about now that it reigns supreme at the box office. Also with the movie holiday season now passed, there are no major competitors to deal with, leaving "Avatar" with even more breathing room to rack up millions more going into the Oscars season.
