"Titanic" remains the highest-grossing film domestically at $600.8 million.
"Avatar" has been No. 1 at the box office for six straight weeks with a domestic total of $554.9 million. It shot down "The Dark Knght" on Saturday to become the second highest-grossing film domestically.
"Avatar" has also mined $1.3 billion in international ticket sales, smashing the $1.24 billion mark previously set by "Titanic."
Good to the market, good to all the movie lovers, good for James's pocket :)
