I didn't realize anyone in this thread had a financial stake in this movie and therefore had a reason to cheer its box office gross.

Avatar was a decent movie. Visually fantastic with a predictable story and characters. It also had an overbearing message that unnecessarily weighed down the movie with its heavy-handedness.

District 9 was a far better film in every respect other than visual effects.

Maybe people are cheering for it because they like the movie? I mean, why cheer for anything unless you have a personal stake in it? Plus, beating Titanic can only be a good thing for cinema.

Also, was I the only one who didn't "get" District 9? Why was it so good? I just watched that movie with a blank face most of the time, waiting for the parts that were supposed to make it amazing as I heard.
