James Cameron's science-fiction epic "Avatar" had another stellar weekend with $68.3 million domestically, shooting past $1 billion worldwide, only the fifth movie ever to hit that mark.
No. 1 for the third-straight weekend, 20th Century Fox's "Avatar" raised its domestic total to $352.1 million after just 17 days. The film added $133 million overseas to lift its international haul to $670 million, for a worldwide gross of $1.02 billion.
"Avatar" opened two weekends earlier with $77 million, a strong start but far below dozens of other blockbusters that debuted as high as $158 million. But business for other blockbusters usually tumbles in following weekends, while "Avatar" revenues barely dropped over the busy Christmas and New Year's weekends.
"It's like a runaway freight train. It just keeps doing business," said Fox distribution executive Bert Livingston. "Here's what's happening: I think everybody has to see `Avatar' once. Even people who don't normally go to the movies, they've heard about it and are saying, `I have to see it.' Then there's those people seeing it multiple times."
"Avatar" was Cameron's first film since 1997's "Titanic," the biggest modern blockbuster with $1.8 billion worldwide. Cameron now is the only filmmaker to direct two movies that have topped $1 billion.
Along with "Titanic," the other movies to make over $1 billion are "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" at $1.13 billion, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" at $1.06 billion and "The Dark Knight" at a fraction over $1 billion, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.James Cameron's science-fiction epic "Avatar" had another stellar... more

This is actually pretty damn cool. Fox has launched an interactive trailer for James Cameron's Avatar using some impressive new technology. The "trailer" is a desktop application which you must install that runs using Adobe Air. Head over to avatarmovie.com/air to download it. Not only does it feature the trailer we've all seen before, but it has over 10 new featurettes that pop up at various points in the trailer while you're watching. Sort of like the special features on a Blu-Ray but all before the movie even comes out. Fox is doing some heavy last-minute pushing on Avatar and this is one of the coolest things they've done.

Yes, yes – we get it already. “Environmentally Friendly Natives Good – Warlike White Man Bad.” Thank you, James Cameron for making sure that we will never forget this lesson when Avatar (and its related video game attachments) hits theaters next month.

Sadly, no glowing blue whiteboard dev diary this time around for Avatar: The Game. Instead we just get a little blast of action with a vague spritz of story for flavor.
I’m not holding my breath that this will be another amazing licensed tie-in on the level of Batman: Arkham Asylum, but I’m at least hopeful that it will be worth a rent and not suck. At the very least, Cameron already has my money guaranteed for a movie ticket. I’m willing to forgive him for making Titanic, since he did give us Terminator and Aliens. We owe him that much, at least.
