‘Avatar’ Dominates Box Office and Breaks Records
This past weekend (Dec 18 – Dec 20) dawned the release of the much anticipated James Cameron film Avatar and it’s the clear winner. The film made a record $77.3 million, the most of any movie ever that is not sequel, a remake nor a direct adaptation. Not to mention the biggest December opening ever, beating I Am Legend by only $100,000. The only other new movie on the top ten list is Did You Hear About the Morgans? making a mild $7 million landing it in the #4 spot under The Princess and the Frog and The Blind Side.
