Avatar a Blockbuster Hit Sank Titanic Anew

The blockbuster movie hit Avatar sank Titanic, this time not in the subtle ocean waters but in the box office. James Cameron’s fantastic 3-D movie which was launched few months ago outperformed and overcame his previous hit Titanic in the worldwide earnings.

The News Corp-owned Studio said, Avatar sold a whopping $1.841 billion worth of tickets globally during its reign on top in the box office for the past six weeks and it is on the verge of surpassing the $1.843 billion accumulated by the classical and truly heartwarming Titanic in 1997 to 1998.

Additionally the Avatar squeaked past “The Dark Knight” as the second biggest movie of all time. The numbers posted by Avatar earnings-wise didn’t consider adjustments for inflation, otherwise if this is being given recognition, what is dubbed as the greatest film that was produced, the 1939′s “Gone With the Wind” will reign supreme, with sales of almost $1.5 billion. Avatar will rank only number 26 using adjustment in inflation as a yardstick.
