I continue to sound like a broken record here at the Reject Report with these box office results. Avatar is again the winner of the domestic weekend box office for the seventh weekend in a row with a haul of $30 million, easily beating Mel Gibson in Edge of Darkness by $13 million. What’s more, the movie has cracked $2 billion in the box office worldwide, the first motion picture in history to do so.

Its all-time worldwide gross is at $2,039,222,000 and counting. Moreover, its domestic haul is now up to $594 million and should set the “fastest-movie to-$600-million” record around the same day when it topples Titanic’s all-time domestic record. I know, I know — there’s still inflation, higher ticket prices, etc.

There isn’t much more about this movie’s performance that I need to say, I think, other than the fact that this movie continues to make money. It is still making a fortune week after week. I thought for sure it would dip below a $30 million haul, but it didn’t.

Overall, there were no real surprises at the box office this weekend, except maybe for the fact that Edge of Darkness didn’t pose more of a challenge to Avatar than it did. The results:

  1. Avatar – $30,000,000
  2. Edge of Darkness – $17,120,000
  3. When in Rome – $12,065,000
  4. The Tooth Fairy – $10,000,000
  5. The Book of Eli – $8,770,000
  6. Legion (2010) – $6,800,000
  7. The Lovely Bones – $4,735,000
  8. Sherlock Holmes – $4,510,000
  9. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel – $4,000,000
  10. It’s Complicated - $3,720,000

That is all for now. See you later this week with another Reject Report!

  • It's possibly to price out your audience, so the argument that more expensive tickets are such a strong element isn't as solid an argument as you'd think.
  • Awesome cinematography. Avatar is a movie that demands to be seen in 3D, or gives people a very good reason to see it in 3D. Avatar is best movie that i have seen in my life.

    Avatar is best movie that i have seen in my life.It seems a forgone conclusion that Avatar is going to get a Best Picture Oscar award this year.Awesome cinematography.
  • It's interesting to see such a successful sci fi movie that (almost) everyone loves but no one quotes a single line from it. And we know that diggers love to quote movies at pretty much everything.
  • I never go to the movies. I went. It was awesome.

    THE MOVIE INDUSTRY IS DYING PLEASE BUY MOVIES, DONT PIRATE!!!!

    yeah sure.... i suppose next you'll be telling me the world is flat and the sun revolves around the earth as well...
  • Would you really want to watch a pirated version of Avatar? Why not see it in the best possible way, on the big screen in 3D?
  • WT
    People keep forgetting about the price to see this movie. To see this movie is 3d imax is around 15-20+ dollars american so if you think about it even, it out to the ticket prices around the time of the titanic the numbers would be less impressive
  • Great movie! i like it so
  • finalcrisis2
    So how much would Avatar be making right now if it didn't have all those 3-D ticket sales to help it's over-all money intake? I realize that it's probably still a lot, but I think it would be a significantly smaller amount and no doubt wouldn't have passed the $2 billion mark w/o that extra $4-5 added to every 3-D ticket.
