In this year’s Academy Awards ceremony we will have 10 Best Picture nominees for the first time in 60 years, see how our viewing trends prompted this.

The story of the hour is that after winning the weekend box office for seven weeks in a row and after setting some big-time records, the reign of Avatar is over. Dear John won the weekend with an unofficial haul of $32.4 million compared to $23 million for Avatar.

All month long we celebrate Best Picture Nominees that didn’t win. This week, we take a look at the Avatar of its time.

Welcome to another The Reject Report and another week where we ask the question of whether Avatar will keep its winning run at the top of the box office going. So far, it seems like there’s nothing that can topple it — not even any of the four other movies going wide this week.

This is just a letter to all of those people out there that think life should be fair and easy. Life is a bit different than that, especially since James Cameron decided to take us to Pandora.

On the day when James Cameron’s Avatar finally eclipses the last of Titanic’s major box office records, all of the talk is not of the past — the 1997 run that made James Cameron “King of the World,” but of the future.

It is quite early in the morning, even here in the Central Time Zone. But so many of us in the movie world were up early, watching as Anne Hathaway unveiled the nominees for the 82nd Academy Awards, which will take place 33 days from now.

Avatar is again the winner of the domestic weekend box office for the seventh weekend in a row with a haul of $30 million. What’s more, the movie has cracked $2 billion in the box office worldwide, the first motion picture in history to do so.

Well, there isn’t much more to say about Avatar that hasn’t already been said. On Monday it finally set the worldwide box office record, toppling Titanic’s record. Now, it’s only a matter of time before it topples the domestic record as well.

Everyone is reporting that Avatar has made more money than any other movie ever. That’s not necessarily true…

We are not far away from Avatar toppling the Titanic all-time records for domestic and worldwide all-time box office. To sum it up, Titanic’s worldwide record is going down probably sometime tomorrow. Avatar is going to be all-time box office champ,

Well, we have another competitive weekend ahead at the box office and the obvious question is this: will Avatar take a sixth amazing weekend in a row at the top of the weekend box office, or can it somehow be stopped — maybe by The Rock?

This week, on a very special episode or Reject Radio, Landon Palmer attempts to explain why his fascination with nun orgies hasn’t gotten his Masters degree taken away from him.

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards are upon us. And while they are on live on ABC as of 8/7c, you may not be watching them. That’s okay, as I will updating our list with the winners as they are announced.

Happy Martin Luther King Day, James Cameron! Not even Denzel Washington and The Book of Eli could stop Avatar from a fifth straight weekend on top of the box office.

Hopefully 2009 prepared you for brilliant science fiction. Back in 1936, it’s Christmas in Everytown, and there’s talk of war coming to their doorsteps.

The big question this week is whether this is the weekend when some movie — any movie — can finally end Avatar’s run of four weekends in a row at the top of the weekend domestic box office? The Book of Eli, maybe?

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we discuss the finer points of something or other.

Put simply, it’s going to be a populist kind of year. Once again, the likes of Avatar and Star Trek, along with The Hangover, are hanging around during awards season.

The $48 million weekend for Avatar clinches the box office title against all 2009 releases, almost $27 million ahead of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. And it’s far from being finished.
