Avatar Becomes The #2 All-Time Grossing Movie!

Filed under: Film Flickers

We gotta admit that this is impressive.

At least now it is living up to all it's hype!

Though the official count has not come in yet, sources have confirmed from the folks at 20th Century Fox that James Cameron's Avatar is likely to take the #2 spot of highest grossing movies of all time!

Its $$$ is set to surpass Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King, which grossed $1,119,110,941 in it's release, and perhaps (but unlikely) may overtake the reigning champ of movies - James Cameron's Oscar epic, Titanic, which grossed $1,842,879,955.

But what really makes these numbers so incredible is that Avatar has been able to achieve this kind of success in under a month! It's managed to gross over a billion dollars in only 20 days!

Wow!

      first again



    2. 2

      second!



    3. 3

      You absolutely should go see it. It was incredible!



    4. 4

      Yeah, go see it, Perez, but in IMAX 3-D. I saw it that way on NYE, and it was great.



    5. 5

      You should go see it (in IMAX 3D) I didn't want to see it at all, and work gave me free tickets, It was amazing (and beautiful)



    6. 6

      I could of sworn you said this movie bombed Perez! What an idiot.



    7. 7

      No, don't bother yourself to actually go & see it; just keep calling it a flop and looking completely stupid, as usual Pig-vomit.



    8. 8

      Definitely! It's the best movie I've ever seen!

      I recall you tweeting that you went to see the film and thought it was just Ok.



    10. 10

      MIND CONTROL 3D.



    11. 11

      Definitely worth seeing. It was absolutely stunning.



    12. 12

      man such a fuckin great movie ur a tard if u dont go n see it



    13. 13

      best movie ever!!! perez hasn't seen it?



    14. 14

      My god are you dumb, Perez and Barbara. So so dumb.



    15. 15

      best movie ever!!!! perez, you haven't seen it?!

      As I said earlier today AVATAR is now the number 3 international film of all time to become #2 this weekend and though #12 domestically I expect it to leap frog over 9 films to become the #3 domestically in the next two weeks. I doubt it will surpass Titanic internationally and in the USA it will not pass Titanic and maybe not the Dark Knight though anything is possible.



    17. 17

      Obviously not written by perez because he already tweeted, that he went to see it.



    18. 18

      "at least now its living up to the hype"? it opened with 300 million, it was always going to be huge, you were the only person who after those figures thought otherwise



    19. 19

      we don't need u on the band wagon…it kicks ass all by itself



    20. 20

      it's misleading, as movie ticket prices have risen since LOTR Return of the King…so naturally, gross dollars will be up.



    21. 21

      It's an amazing movie. It deserves all the success it gets.:)



    22. 22

      it's been 10 days since you declared this a bomb. It's now the #2 grossing film of all time. You, sir, are a goddamn jaggoff.



    23. 23

      I saw it on Imax 3-D and it was amazing! I cant believe how much I loved this movie! Worth seeing!



    24. 24

      Well you've just completely slipped up "PEREZ" as you tweeted that you had seen the film and you had said it was good, not ground breaking. Maybe you should fire your ghost writers and return to writing this blog yourself you self indulgent lazy fuck

      25

      Don't bother. It's just like Shrek, but blue.



    26. 26

      I paid $15 to see Avatar, and maybe $6 to see Titanic. The scales are a little slanted if you ask me.



    27. 27

      "At least now it is living up to all it's hype!"

      It was grossing a lot when was first released you fat mess



    28. 28

      How come they spend over 500 MILLION on making movies but can´t seem to properly fund the education system! America is really something isn´t it?
      Gof bless you all :(



    29. 29

      anyone who hasnt seen this movie you absoulutly have to it is amazing and you deffinetly have to see it in 3D imax its faboulous!!!



    30. 30

      Is it fair to include it without adjusting for both inflation and the fact that it is in 3D and is thus able to charge far more for admittance?



    31. 31

      i saw it and thought it was ok. The effects were awesome though. i hope it doesn't beat titanic because that's a classic!

    32. DeeSF says – reply to this


      32

      The blue people were annoying, but the 3D is truly amazing. It's the technology of the future. Unfortunately, the movie is 2 hours and 46 minutes, which is about 2 hours too long. I smoked up before the movie to make the experience more visibly enjoyable, and it helped. Enjoy!



    33. 33

      it really was an incredible movie to see in 3-D, but seriously, the plot line was Fern Gully!! Does anyone remember seeing that movie as a child??



    34. 34

      Calling it impressive now doesn't make up for the fact you initially called it a fail after the first weekend's take. Just shows you know as little about movies as you do about fashion, tours, writing, animation and music. Like KTLA said, you're a talentless dope, douchebag.



    35. 35

      My thoughts exactly Perez…..I wasn't going to see it but now I think I should. Not sure about the logic of that.



    36. 36

      The Dark Knight surpassed Titanic a while ago.

      And Avatar is mostly hype and CGI. No story, terrible dialogue and acting.

      Think Ferngully…..



    37. 37

      Severely overrated.



    38. 38

      the movie is amazing. On the top of my best movies ever list. We went and saw it twice, I hope everyone gets to see it in 3D.



    39. 39

      "There's $500 million dollars shot to hell!

      The most expensive movie ever made has FAILED at the box office."

      Yep - those were your words about Avatar, Mario. You're quite the entertainment visionar



    40. 40

      I saw it at IMAX and it was fantastic.



    41. 41

      avatar is bull shit.y is this movie making so much money.



    42. 42

      It has taken the spot as my favorite movie of all time.



    43. 43

      I think it shows how man destroys everything beautiful and never gives thanks for what we have. Didn't u tweet u already saw it? You need to keep your lies in line.



    44. 44

      Re: Below Me – amen to that!



    45. 45

      It wasn't all that great to be honest.



    46. 46

      youre such a putz. you said not more than a month ago that this was a flop. youre so out of touch its not even funny. i blame your whale of a mother.



    47. 47

      Go see it. In 3D.



    48. 48

      Not bad for a movie Perez said was a flop and would bomb. it was incredible !



    49. 49

      Well I am not sure if ppl realize the similarities in Avatar and Furn Gully..huh?!



    50. 50

      You haven´t seen it????

      WTF???

      Avatar is the best movie ever made! :) I´m not kidding! ;)

    51. 51

      DOn t go! It´a a bomb, as u said. Is not a succes as Slimmy, Adam Lambert, and all that shit that you like-



    52. 52

      oooo… I saw this one, it is the greatest movie ever!!!!
      hurry in the cinema and see it!!!!!
      :)



    53. 53

      Re: Swear to ME! – nope titanic is still the highest grossing film of all time followed by lord of the rings3 and then i think (dont quote me on this one) one of the harry potters. i think batman is in the top ten but it sure as hell hasnt made more than titanic



    54. 54

      Re: queenladypink – THANKYOU! i thought i was the only once who realised that….needs to sort his ghost writers out me thinks…



    55. 55

      don't bother running to theater to see it. It's a two and a half hour video game without the game controllers.



    56. 56

      The best movie!



    57. 57

      I saw it last weekend LOVED IT!!!! Can't wait to buy it on Blu-Ray……It's a must watch in 3-D…..



    58. 58

      WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO SAID IT WAS AN EPIC FAIL THE FIRST WEEKEND. FUCKING LOOSER!



    59. 59

      hahahahaha….looks like its time for someone to eat some crow!! You shitted on this movie since the day it was released and we all know YOU NEVER WATCHED IT. Your only showing your stupidity more and more Perez. You dont have the clout you thought you did huh? Moron.



    60. 60

      Yes! See it in 3D IMAX, the best way to capture this movie/event!



    61. 61

      This is a must-see! (see it in IMAX if possible) Has a great story!



    62. 62

      It was absolutely incredible. My new favorite. You should DEFINITELY check it out. Well worth it!



    63. 63

      honestly i dont get it…visually yes it was a beautiful movie but for god sakes it was like watching a crappy version of pocahontas..! this movie was not good…titanic, i understand! avatar…i just dont get it…



    64. 64

      That is cool and so is Avatar. This Avatar fansite is cool too. www.Naviblue.com



    65. 65

      i am very proud to say that i go to the same high school as James Cameron. Our theatre is named after him, not to many great things have come out of Niagara Falls but he has.
      I also find it amusing that the top 2 most grossing movies were made by the same director, which is quite an accomplishment :D



    66. 66

      You haven't seen it..? Oh my!! You are missing out on the coolest movie EVER made.. Do 3-D!!!!! Cherry on the sundae!!!!



    67. 67

      oh Perez.. so it's been released only 20 days and during that time you've been bagging it and slagging james cameron with sarcastic comments calling it a bomb… and you haven't even seen the movie? ?? now the masses are saying it's brilliant (which it is!) - I hope you admit you were wrong when you see it for yourself..



    68. 68

      This is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen and bad ass at the same time! Best movie I have EVER seen!!! AWESOME!!! James Cameron is the king of the world!! you deserve it brother. Thank you James for making such a wonderful movie.. It was a total experience for me.. !!!!!



    69. 69

      you were calling this a flop days ago. your just mad because your precious new moon couldnt beat james cameron.



    70. 70

      DONT SEE THIS MOVIE TILL JAMES CAMERON GIVES HIS AUDIENCE MORE CREDIT! get smart people! this movie had awesome and amazing effects, dont get me wrong but shame on james cameron for not writing decent dialog or an original story line!! this movie was a total cliche from beginning to end, like he thinks we are all retarded and distracted by the cgi effects, what about the story!?!
      It was called braveheart meets ferngully meets full metal jacket. so predictable and cliche from the stupid dialog to the storyline to the characters …..WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! 3-d made it better but an hour in i kept checking my watch and still had another 2 hours to go! uuuuggggggghhhhhhh

      i feel like elaine watching the english patient!



    71. 71

      Adjust for inflation and "Gone with the Wind" is the highest-grossing movie.



    72. 72

      JAMES CAMERON SUCKS

      73

      So, you have been talking shit about this movie for a month and you have not seem it yet?????



    74. 74

      go see it!
      originally, i thought it looked like the stupidest movie ever and had NO desire to see it. i was forced into seeing it and LOVED it.



    75. 75

      Perez this is a must see movie. I Didn't have any interest in this movie at all, but my hubby begged me to go. I did and came away a huge fan. It is a movie with many facets, it is a thought provoking, beautiful movie. I can hardly wait for the DVD to come out now.

    76. Celt says – reply to this


      76

      It was an astoundingly beautiful movie to watch. The plot was kind of typical of what you see in movies but the acting was great and the visual effects were incredible. I've seen it three times and would go see it again.



    77. 77

      FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!



    78. 78

      i hope you dont see it. it was way too amazing and i think it would just go over your head anyways



    79. 79

      it's gonna be the biggest film ever.



    80. 80

      Yeah and James Cameron does suck a lil bit though…
      "I'm the KING of the WORLLD!"



    81. 81

      remember when you said it was a flop



    82. 82

      I'll actually leavea barrage of insults for you Perez, but I see half of the talkbackers already have, so my point has already been made.

      If this movie has made so much in just 20 days… AT WHAT STAGE WAS IT A FLOP AS YOU PROCLAIMED NUMEROUS TIMES?

      Seriously, at what stage did it flop? First week box office gross? Second week (when Sherlock Holmes supposedly beat it)? Third? When Perez?

      At no stage was this movie a flop. At no stage.

      You are not a Journalist or reporter, You just blog the most retarded comments, but at some stage, you are going to want to better yourself as a human being and further your spiritual growth. Then and only then… will this site elevate itself from absolutely ridiculous, to just plain crap!



    83. 83

      James Cameron has the 2 highest grossing films of all time… and yet Dark Angel did so badly =(

      FUCK YOU FOX, IT WAS AWESOME AND DESERVED A THIRD SEASON.

      Loved Avatar favourite movie of the year. Going to see it again



    85. 85

      Whats even more amazing is the mindless sheep that keep spending money to go see this total piece of crap. It's effects are ripoffs of Star Wars, and it's story, what little of a "Story" there is, is just Pocahontas with smurfs. Total garbage Cameron … again.



    86. 86

      You're figuring this out now. WOW. Perez. You're getting slow. i seen this about four nights ago ET Tonight.



    87. 87

      Perez, didn't you say like a month ago this movie was an epic FAILURE and was tanking quick? Where do you get your info???

      If it surpasses Titanic that will be funny. I saw this movie in 3d and the special effects/visuals were awesome, but I thought the actual movie was just alright. Way too corny at times and not really an original story. Titanic is def. better.
