Avatar Hits $1 Billion in Ticket Sales in 17 Days, Already No. 4 All Time Movie [Soon to be 2nd]
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Movies & TV
James Cameron will shortly be responsible for the two highest grossing films of all time. After just 17 days Avatar has gathered over $1 billion in gross ticket sales, placing it fourth all time after Titanic ($1.8 billion), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12 billion) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest ($1.07 billion). At $1.02 billion through Sunday, Avatar will shortly jump from no. 4 to no. 2 at this rate.
The box office amount is fueled by 3D and IMAX ticket sales, which are more expensive than regular movies. It has brought in $352.1 million domestically and $670.2 million internationally. $66.4 million has come in from IMAX theaters.

Extended Na’vi Sex Scene Might Land on Avatar DVD
Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Movies & TV
It turns out there’s much more to that sex scene we saw in Avatar and you may get to see it in the DVD release. I know friends and I have joked around about the lack of hair-tentacle action going on during that thing and it looks like we’ll get to see it actually happen in the extended cut.
Like you’d expect, the Na’vi mate by joining those tentacle-dealies together. The extended scene was hinted at both by Cameron and actress Zoe Saldana, and Cameron implied that the longer cut might end up in the special-edition movie release. So, for those of you into blue alien tentacle action, I know you’re jumping for joy right about…now.
