Who would have thought a 3-D movie about ten foot tall blue creatures would be the box office champ of all time?

I had high hopes for Avatar when I first saw the trailer but a lot of the internet critics were already hailing it as a failure.  Overall, I thought the movie was okay but what set it apart was the movie experience.  The 3-d and special effects were something I had never seen before.

By the end of today, Avatar will beat another  James Cameron flick,Titanic, as the box office champ of all time .  Sure, James Cameron is arrogant, but he sure knows how to connect with  the audience.  Avatar will probably finish with around $2.1 billion by the end of it’s run, while Titanic finished with $1.8 billion.

Based on ticket sales though, Gone With The Wind is still number one, while Titanic is at the sixth spot and Avatar at 26th.
