“Avatar” becomes only the fifth film to cross the $1 billion mark, Hollywood.com said. Another Cameron film, 1997’s “Titanic” is the highest-grossing film ever with overall sales of $1.84 billion. Others which have reached the milestone are “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” ($1.13 billion), “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” ($1.06 billion) and “The Dark Knight” ($1 billion).
“It’s the fastest movie in history to break the $1 billion mark,” said Gitesh Pandya, editor of Box Office Guru. “We’ve never seen a movie make so much money so fast.”
“Avatar” will probably surpass “Return of the King” to rank No. 2 worldwide by the end of this week, giving Cameron the top two spots, Pandya said. To date, “Avatar” sales in the U.S. and Canada total $352.1 million and $670.2 million in international markets.
