Avatar Still Number One

Avatar James Cameron's baby topped the box office for the second weekend and still going strong, overtaking Guy Richie's Sherlock Holmes, which could've knocked the sci-fi epic masterpiece to number two when it premiered on December 25th.

Reported at Sci Fi Wire, "Avatar" took in an estimated $75 million domestically during the 3 days beginning on Christmas day. With that said, it is only a 3 percent drop from the domestic gross in its opening weekend. "Avatars" total rose to $212.3 million all across the USA and neighbors Canada.

"Sherlock Holmes" pulled in about $65.4 million over the Christmas weekend and set a Christmas Day opening record of a massive $24.8 million.

Now in third place is "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," which exceeded the studio's forecast with $50.2 million for the 3 days. So it looks like we'll be getting a "Alvin and the Chipmunks 3" oh yes.


LEEE777 - looks like theres no stopping this "Avatar" space train, comments below and hope you all had a great Christmas.

I had a prediction for Avatar on Tuesday: 192 million after 10 days. And I thought I was pretty generous. Boy, was I wrong or what? If Avatar keeps going strong like this, after 17 days it will have 300 under it's belt and after that, it has the potential to become the second highest grossing movie both State-side and worldwide.

What do you guys think?

Horrible article lee77. News articles are supposed to be unbiased with facts. U shouldn't show your biased in the title by calling the movie a masterpiece. Bad journalism:)

I got the star wars game last night and played with the regular remote. I can't lift my right arm . But I agree getting an actual lightsaber controller would be pretty cool. Need to get tiger woods golf too, can probably get one pretty cheap these days :)

@Superdog. The bike was inssured, but i will never be able to replace it. It was a 74 Superglide I rebuilt from an old frame I found in a junkyard. I rebuilt it with all original parts rather than reproductions. Took a few years, btu I had to do something senior year! I loved that damn thing...

@Hawks. Thanks man.

@LEEE. Well, I am going to be discharged tommorrow or tuesday, so thats good. The bad part is I broke both my legs, so I'll be in a chair. And i broke an arm and some ribs. It is hard to type with one arm
