Avatar Still Unstoppable

“Avatar” continues to break records at the box office and hold off any competition.

The James Cameron sci-fi epic earned another $68.3 million over the New Year’s weekend, just a slight drop from Christmas weekend.

“Avatar” has grossed over $352 million domestically and over $1 billion worldwide making it the fourth highest grossing movie ever behind “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest”, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” and James Cameron’s “Titanic”.

“Sherlock Holmes” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law held onto second place for the second week earning $38.4 million. Just behind “Sherlock Holmes” with $36.6 million was the sequel to “Alvin and the Chipmunks”, titled “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel”.

The comedy, “It’s Complicated”, starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin held onto its fourth place spot with $18.7 million.

Finally, rounding out the top five, which remain unchanged from last week, was “The Blind Side”, which after seven weeks still brought in $12.7 million pushing its total to over $200 million.
