CA.1218.avatar.

The James Cameron flick Avatar has nabbed yet another weekend in the top spot earning an additional $45.8 million at the box office. This is the fourth weekend in a row for the sci-fi film bringing the domestic total to $429 mil becoming the seven highest grossing picture in North America. Can we all say, ‘Wow!”

Add the weekend’s foreign gross of $143 million to the tally and that means the worldwide take sits (but not for long) at $1.34 billion. That means Avatar is inching closer to the current record holder, Titanic, (Cameron’s other blockbuster) with $1.84 billion.

Avatar was followed by Sherlock Holmes in second place with $16.6 mil, while Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakquel did more than squeak out the number three position with a $16.3 million take.

The debut weekend of Daybreakers pulled in $15 mil and the mature adult romantic-comedy It’s Complicated saw $11 million in additional revenue.

Leap Year came in sixth with $ 9.2 million, seventh position was held by Sandra Bullock’s inspirational drama, The Blind Side with $ 7.8 million, Up in the Air landed the eight position earning $ 7.1 million, the Michael Cera starrer, Youth in Revolt, debuted at number nine, raising $ 7.0 million and Disney’s The Princess and the Frog showed serious staying power with $4.7 million.
