Re: Weekend Box Office: Martin Luther King Jr Holiday
1.6 billion worldwide and pretty much guaranteed to beat Titanic. With 30 percent drops it should make roughly 130 more domestically and considering its doing about twice as much internationally it should make another 260 which puts it at just under 2 billion with a very good likelihood of breaking it. Who would have thought Avatar could make 2 billion dollars.

Re: Weekend Box Office: Martin Luther King Jr Holiday
With Avatar at $490 million now, it seems likely that it will sink Titanic's $600 million record on the all-time unadjusted domestic box office. It has little competition going against it, so if it has the legs that Titanic had it has a small chance at $650-700 million, and maybe a chance at 2 billion international.

Redonkolus, less than 20% drop on its 5th weekend. That is idiotic. Might get 50 million for the 4 day..and hit 500 million by tomorrow. Amazing.

It's been doing about $5 million on the weekdays I believe, so with Monday being a holiday, I could see it doing another $9 million to hit $500 million domestically by the end of the day tomorrow.

It'll pass The Dark Knight by the end of January and then Titanic about another three weeks after that. Damn impressive.

Re: Weekend Box Office: Martin Luther King Jr Holiday
It will definitely pass TDK next weekend. That is pretty much 100% sure.
It will overtake Titanic by the end of February as well, just in time before Alice in Wonderland takes over 3D screens.
615 Million Domestic total
2.1 Billion worldwide total
That is about where I expect it to finish.

Is Avatar the first movie since the Sixth Sense to have 5 consecutive #1 weekends?

Re: Weekend Box Office: Martin Luther King Jr Holiday
Then why not include adjustments to factor in the rise of the internet and illegal downloading from 1997 to 2009? Or the proliferation of cable TV channels in the past 12 years? Or the huge increase in DVD ownership and home viewing since then? See, there are just too many factors in comparing box office so it's just easier to avoid all that "adjusted for inflation" stuff and stick to what the movie made in unadjusted dollars.

AVATAR blew past Star Wars this weekend??
Someone note the time and the date. This marks the official moment of the Internet Nerd Backlash.
