Avatar 9th overall after 2 weeks:
Based on its first 10 days in U.S. theaters, "Avatar" ticket sales rank ninth among blockbusters at that mile marker, behind hits including "The Dark Knight," "Spider-Man" and this year's "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."
Strong IMAX showing:
Greg Foster, Imax Corp.'s chairman and president for filmed entertainment, said nearly every "Avatar" showing at the company's 242 locations around the world had been sold out for 10 days.
Imax locations have generated more than $39 million in "Avatar" sales so far, Mr. Foster said. By way of comparison, he said it took "The Dark Knight" six weeks to sell $45 million worth of Imax tickets—a level he expects "Avatar" to achieve after just 13 days in theaters.
