Avatar Set to Shatter Box Office Records

January 3, 2010 at 5:37 pm (Entertainment) (, , , )

So this is what inflation can lead to… a subpar flick shattering records?

The 3D science fiction blockbuster was directed by James Cameron, who also made Titanic, the best selling movie of all time.

The latest figures make Avatar already the fourth-biggest film ever made.

Ahead of it are Titanic ($1.8bn; £1.1bn), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12bn; £695m) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest ($1.07bn; £664m).

I’m sticking to the indie movies and the throwback classics.
