'Avatar' Climbs To No. 2 At All-Time Box Office.. WOW!

hi angela. i too liked avatar very much.Its really an awesome movie to watch especially love stories like that are really touching.

It really isn’t such a surprise that Avatar has sky rocketed up the list of Box Office hits because firstly it’s been one of the most anticipated movies in years. Not just because of the technology but because it’s James Cameron’s first movie since Titanic. It also helps that the buzz about the wonderful graphics has been circulating for a couple of years in one of the most orchestrated viral marketing campaigns to ever have hit the movies. So those two things certainly go in it’s favour making people want to see it because it is history making. But one thing which should be taken into account is that with it’s release in 3D the cost of tickets to go and watch it are higher than those for standard cinemas, swelling the amount that the movie actually makes, yet if it was compared on purely the number of tickets sold rather than the value it wouldn’t be so impressive. Also it’s worth taking into consideration that with it being released in December it will benefit from the fact that Hollywood rarely puts out any really good movies in January, often prompting people to see it more than once because there is little else to see. It may yet go onto break all the box office records, but it is whether it can stand the test of time rather than the initial hype will decide whether or not it truly is a great film.

I saw this on stephen colbert. Then he added In your face citizen cane, you would have been so much better if they shot you in 3D.

I'm not surprised about this at all. It is such a popular, hyped-up film that movie-goers are flocking it. There is still a chance it could claim top spot, but I won't hold my breath.
