Avatar creates history again
James Cameron's Avatar is on the verge of making history again; the sci-fi hit went beyond all expectations and reached the $1 billion milestone worldwide in just three weeks. Movie experts expected Avatar did predict the $1 billion mark, but certainly not in just three weeks. Avatar has rushed past the biggest hit of 2009, Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince, which grossed about $930 million worldwide. With the ancillary incomes from Blu-ray Discs and DVDs, TV and cable TV, Avatar is expected to rake in over $600 million in profits. Avatar is also expected to get major Oscar nominations in most categories, including technical departments. Avatar now ranks number four among the top global grossers of all time, behind Cameron's Titanic ($1.84 billion), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12 billion) and The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($1.07 billion). Meanwhile, the creator James Cameron has revealed that he is already considering a sequel to Avatar. It sure looks like he is all set to revolutionize World Cinema!
