Avatar, a 3D film finally released to an excited public, has finally made the box office splash people have been expecting for weeks; $1 billion. The number came only 17 days after its initial release; if you do the math, thats $681 per second. Other films that have hit the $1 billion mark have been Titanic (also by James Cameron), The Dark Knight, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. So far, the highest grossing has been Cameron's own Titanic, with a whopping $1.8 billion in revenue. The film continues to sell out multiple showings worldwide, even over three weeks after its release. Some think the huge gross in money is partially due to the high ticketing prices for 3D and IMAX showings. Some believe that the film will pass The Lord of the Rings (#2 highest) and perhaps even Titanic (#1 highest) in box office revenue.
