Remember awhile back before the release of Avatar when a few people were speculating whether or not James Cameron’s twelve year long baby would even make it even with revenue compared to it’s production budget? Well it looks like Cameron is completely drowning in money once again as E! Online breaks the news that Cameron has outdid himself in the international box office, surpassing his own film Titanic. Avatar wrangled up about $1.29 Billion while Titanic is afloat with only $1.24 Billion, just further proving that James Cameron can definitely bring in the money.

What’s next for the movie that never stops is taking over the number one spot in the domestic box office. Right now it stands at $552 Million, which also means that Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight got shifted back into permanent third place since Avatar is only around $50 Million behind from toppling over Titanic. It would be no surprise at this point that before the announcements of the 82nd Annual Academy Awards that this monster film takes the number one spot.

Because of all of this box office success, and the awards that Avatar has been winning left and right, do you think it’s rightfully deserved?
