According to Exhibitor Relations, James Cameron’s Avatar has made more than $670 million internationally and more than $352 million in the US in the 17 days since its debut in theaters. The movie’s box office total in now more than $1 billion dollars, which makes it the third highest grossing movie ever next only to Titanic with $1.842 billion and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with $1.119 billion.

These figures can still be disputed, specifically because IMAX ticket prices are roughly two times more expensive than traditional theater tickets, which means despite reaching the billion-dollar mark, Avatar has half of the audience that Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Cameron’s 2 hours of 3D eye candy is now at Number four worldwide.
