This is just dump writer predicting that a simple math of mine did days back. Also it is not yet official since the writer says that the information is from sources and the number should be 1.05B



I predicted this on Thursday itself. Let us wait for the official figures now

For me, this "rumor" in several websites, plus yours and my predictions, makes it official
TDK is biting the dust today

I know. It is happening WAY TOO FAST!

Yes it is. I mean look at this it is like a giant and when everyone says that this can be achieved only because of higher ticket prices then there should be a number of movies breaking the records next year. As far as I am seeing IM2, Shrek3 can come close to 1B since they already have an established fan base. I bet no one even sequels are coming even near to this next year

Hey guys, it's been fun having so many of you over at Mojo for this historic time in film history.

BJ, telemachos, mdana and a few others have graces us with your box office knowledge.

I'm glad Avatanic has caught on here too....it's a cool name I made up a few weeks back and it fits perfectly.

I'm in the Avatanic passing Titanic camp now. This thing is just a beast,

Anyhoo, nice to chat with you guys again.

It seems that the industry is evolving. I read somewhere that the higher pricing for 3D theaters is good marketing. Indeed it is, I think they call it expanding the product line by means of packaging. 3D gives the customers another alternative to access the same product, at a premium price. Despite decreasing the total number of units sold, it is a wise strategy because it ultimately increases sales, hence profits. They do that in many industries.
I bet JC and Fox run all the numbers before releasing Avatar in 3D. They are proving that the 3D-theater worldwide distribution network is cost-effective and gives returns so the industry will grow in that direction.

The Academy has very good economic reasons to support Avatar until the Oscars. When the dust settles, Avatar would have beaten Titanic WW becoming the new benchmark for future blockbusters.

Raising mine to 565m which would be above Gump but below The Godfather adjusted.
