Another big milestone for James Cameron’s Avatar was reached this weekend as it passed The Dark Knight to move into the #2 position on the all-time domestic box office list. It also blew past Titanic to become the most successful international movie ever with $1.28 billion. There is now only one record left, and that is to beat Titanic for biggest all-time domestic box office. Based on current projections that could happen sometime next month. Elsewhere, Legion had a decent opening weekend, earning $18 million and just barely edging out The Book of Eli for second place. The Tooth Fairy and The Lovely Bones rounded out the Top 5. Extraordinary Measures didn’t fare so well, earning just $7 million despite the draw of two big name stars. Avatar sure doesn’t have much in the way of serious competition, and it shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
1. Avatar — $36M
2. Legion — $18.2M
3. The Book of Eli — $17M
