The movie actually pulled in a very strong number on Sunday, and based on the weekend tally, I suspect it is going to have some amazing legs:

Friday: $26,752,099
Saturday: $25,529,036
Sunday: $24,744,346
For anybody who knows about movie box office numbers...That's a stunning hold, for the weekend. We will have to see how it does this week, but I suspect it's going to be at close to $100 million domesically by Friday, and at $130-140 by next Monday. The film will probably top $400 million WW...so it looks like Cameron has a monster hit on his hand.
