Avatar - 3D

DH really wants to see this, and I've been hesitating since it feels like a boom crash guy movie, I thought... After reading all of this, I think i WILL go see it... I was going to try to send him with a guy friend instead.

thanks,

'Avatar' replacing 'Titanic' in record books

"Avatar" was on the cusp of replacing "Titanic" as the biggest movie of all time after it logged a sixth consecutive weekend as the top choice of moviegoers worldwide, distributor 20th Century Fox said on Sunday.

The total for James Cameron's sci-fi spectacular rose to $1.841 billion, just shy of the seemingly insurmountable $1.843 billion racked up by the director's "Titanic" in 1997-1998.

Already "Avatar" claimed the all-time international total with sales to date of $1.288 billion, eclipsing the $1.242 billion haul of "Titanic."

In North America, it may have to wait another two weeks to sail past the $601 million total of "Titanic," the News Corp -owned studio said. Moviegoers in North America and Canada have chipped in $552.8 million, enough to replace 2008's "The Dark Knight" ($533 million) as the second-biggest movie of all time.

Data are not adjusted for inflation, and "Avatar" ticket sales got an additional boost from premium pricing for 3-D screenings. Imax Corp said its big-screen engagements have sold a record $134 million worth of tickets worldwide.

The biggest movie of all time in North America -- adjusted for inflation -- is 1939's "Gone with the Wind," with sales of almost $1.5 billion, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. "Avatar" ranks at No. 26 by that measure.

During the latest weekend, "Avatar" earned $36 million in North America and $107 million internationally, far outpacing other offerings.

It was trailed in North America by Screen Gems' new supernatural action thriller "Legion" at No. 2 with $18.2 million, while Warner Bros' Denzel Washington drama "The Book of Eli" slipped to No. 3 with $17 million in its second weekend. Screen Gems is a unit of Sony Corp, and Warner Bros is a unit of Time Warner Inc.

Two other films opened in the top-10: Fox's Dwayne Johnson family film "The Tooth Fairy" at No. 4 with a promising $14.5 million, and nascent studio CBS Films' Harrison Ford medical drama "Extraordinary Measures" at No. 7 with a disappointing $7 million.

ok, so after reading all these posts, DH and I finally got to see Avatar the other night, and WOW, no kidding about the 3D- amazing. Loved the cgi, very realistic, and I thought the storyline was really good too, not just "let's think up something with a lot of flying" like I kind of expected. Relatable espescially to me right now with my busted foot was the idea of running in a body that works- loved that!
Probably in my top 5 fave movies of all time, it was that good... .

My dad calls me last night the moment he got out of Avatar saying its the best movie he "has seen in I don't know how long" and that if I have a chance to go see it, I should and that I should try to see it in 3D and he is sad he didn't see it in 3D. He was gushing about this movie. I really had no intention of seeing it, but if he loved it, and my mom enjoyed it (They have totally different tastes in movies) I am beginning to think I am going to have to go see it.
