AVATAR: Biggest Movie of All Time
It's official: Avatar is now the highest-grossing movie of all time in dollar sales, breaking Titanic's previous record of $1.843 billion on Monday. It's gotten a big boost from more expensive 3-D screenings and is still going strong, leading industry observers to say $2 billion or more is possible—particularly since Avatar made its first billion in just 17 days. How'd Cameron pull it off? Four elements: Romance, craftsmanship, good beating evil, and buzz creation.
What do you think - how big can AVATAR get?
WOOT GO AVATAR! now all the people that said it sucked are clearly in the wrong.

The message is clear and understood by millions across the globe!
I join my brothers and sisters in forming a bond in celebration of the success Avatar is achieving across this great Earth. May the simple message contained there in continue to profoundly change consciousness as we know it.
May Eywa live in all of us.

Now the sky is the limit for Avatar - how did James pull it off, well I think it is the whole lot, he just created magic cinema with impressions that just leave you speechless.

Now lets not forget the score writter James Horner who made the beautiful music that dramaticaly enhanced the experience and emotions emitted by the visual effects and the plot. Now the people who say it sucked I would like you to post a reasonable answer as to why other than you just didn't like it.
Now with all the profit made please make Avatar 2 and make it just like you made the first one and even more exciting and emotional. Even though there are people, me included, who had or are currently experiencing some form of depression after seeing it please do not let that detur you from making Avatar 2 any less than spectacular, for then it will only get worse as I realize what was once an awe inspiring movie now becomes less inspiring.
Please....

$3billion would be nice - that would even beat Gone With The Wind when adjusted for inflation.
WOW

I am thrilled. I knew it would, but it so very cool that it has done it so quickly. No other movie has ever inspired me to ever go and see it more then twice. Even twice is very rare for me to see a movie and I have seen Avatar 6 times and counting.
