Top Grossing Films of the Weekend 1. Avatar - $68.3 million
2. Sherlock Holmes - $38.4 million
3. Alvin and the Chimpmunks: The Squeakqual - $36.6 million
4. It's Complicated - $18.7 million
5. The Blind Side - $12.7 million
Congratulations, James Cameron! Avatar has been the #1 movie for three straight weekends. At $1.02 billion and counting, Avatar is just the fifth movie ever to gross more than $1 billion worldwide. Cameron also becomes the only director to have two films reach this elite status. Cameron's other film to do so was 1997's Titanic with $1.8 billion. With second-place Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at $1.13 billion, it's not hard to imagine Cameron shortly becoming the director of the two highest-grossing films of all time. If you haven't seen Avatar yet, I highly recommend it. Even if you don't love the storyline, the visual aspect is incredible. It's definitely worth ponying up an extra couple bucks to see this one in 3D or IMAX 3D.
Avatar combines live-action and digitally enhanced performance in what could quite possibly be the future of film. I'm not saying Avatar will win 11 Oscars like Titanic, but I think it's fairly safe to say we will hear James Cameron's name called on Oscar night. The 82nd Academy Awards are Sunday, March 7.
