“Avatar” Touches $ 1 Billion Mark, Eyes Titanic Record

Avatar Director of "Avatar", James Cameron, believes in breaking his own records. His recent film "Avatar" is eyeing to break the record of "Titanic". Previously, James Cameron's "Titanic" has created a history in world cinema. This time "Avatar" is in the rat race to break previous records. "Avatar" has already reached $ 1 billion mark at the box-office. The much awaited film has earned $352 million domestically, after only 17 days of release. This amazing result has been helped by higher ticket prices for 3D screenings. Undoubtedly the film has proved to be a major hit and has matched the heavy budget of $ 500 million.

In 1997, "Titanic" remained the top-grossing film of all time worldwide, with $1.8 billion. Some hand full of films which have crossed the mark of $1 billion are, "Titanic," "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "The Dark Knight."

Earlier "The Lord Of The Rings" has earned $1.1 billion in its 2003 release. Now everybody is suppose to be eyeing on "Avatar" and hopefully it might cross the record of $1.8 Billion. So now the competition has begun between the two films made by the same director James Cameron.
