Binary Impact

Avatar Is Now the Top-Grossing Movie of All Time

Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Movies & TV

Over the course of the weekend, James Cameron’s Avatar was on track to beat Titanic’s record and become the top-grossing film of all time. The numbers have been verified, and Avatar’s worldwide gross stands at over $1.292 billion dollars, which topsTitanic’s $1.242 billion. The domestic record hasn’t yet fallen — by Sunday Avatar was still about $50m shy of Titanic’s $600.8m US gross. About 70% of Avatar’s revenue comes from foreign markets, compared to Titanic’s 67%.

For those of you that are like me and care about ticket sales more than gross income (which doesn’t take inflation into account), Avatar is  26th. Below is a link for you to check out the top grossing films with and without inflation taken into account. Interestingly enough Titanic is only 6th with Gone With The Wind taking the top spot and Star Wars coming in 2nd.
