[QUOTE=The Dad Fisherman;733646]Hmmm, that puts it at.....Dare I say.....Number 9
Oh , does that win a plug?? 
Outside however the bet goes , The biggest all time December opening was 77 million for Legend with Will Smith. Avatar at 73 million was just 4 million behind and it premiered during a blizzard. I got to figure It would have been maybe 90 million in any kind of near normal weather.
The stuff I have read are pretty black and white. People loved it or hated it with about 85% thumbs up.
Most of my movies come from Redbox now. $1.00. Can't beat that. Problem is the predicted blockbusters don't hit the system until sometimes a year or more later.
After seeing the stats , I think I'll see Legend also. I had no idea it was such a big hit. |

Actually "Legend" was a fairy tale type movie with Tom Cruise, unicorns, the son of satan, goblins, and stuff.
"Fire, Fire, burning higher, making music like a choir".
"I am Legend " had Will Smith.

So TDF, I'm just wondering, what's your favorite color? |

 This might get a little more interesting now with the interpretation of the revenues. |

Due to the falling value of the dollar, this movie was actually supposed to be at 8

I hear Cameron was complaining that theaters were selling tickets to Spike Lee's new movie to people who asked for Avatar and directing them to the Avatar theater to keep the take down and for BFL to win his bet.

OK folks, great flick 
Had to explain my son the difference between Hollywierd and reality though (no buddy, in this movie humans are a problem, in reality humans are not always the bad guys). |

I went today and thought it was a great movie. I went to the 3D but not at an IMAX theater. I don't think the 3D makes much difference though. Would also be just as good in 2 D.
Anyway , I would recommend it to anybody!  |

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.

This is funny because I saw it on the opening weekend in Kingston(12pm) and there were maybe 20 of us in the theater. Plenty of seats. Based on that I thought it wouldn't do as well as predicted but it seems to be doing just fine. It better though because of the budget to make this was astromomical. I might see it again but will probably wait to see it on dvd. |

Mary and I went to see it on Christmas day. 6:40 show was sold out. (we got the last 2 tickets)
Movie was in 3D. I thought it was a great movie. I believe it would have been just as good in digital and no 3D glasses. Glasses gave me a slight headache. That could have been because our seats were so close.
Definetly worth seeing.

Ok just got back from the IMAX 3D showing of this (I got tickets online on Saturday for this!)
granted this is the only movie I've ever seen in IMAX, but it was by far the most amazing viewing experience I've even had. It just blew me away from start to finish!
