Peter Jackson's The Return Of The King may have been blessed with magical powers but it's the Na'vi who've had the last laugh as James Cameron's sci-fi film Avatar surpasses the box office takings of the final installment in the The Lord of the Rings trilogy to become the second-highest grossing film of all time, one place behind Cameron's Titanic.
Avatar has blazed a golden trail ? in less than three weeks it has become the twelfth highest grossing movie domestically and the second highest worldwide. By grossing $374.4 million in the United States and a humungous $760.9 million internationally, the film has reached a total of $1.14 billion, beating the Return Of The King's $1.1 billion return.
If it hopes to catch Titanic, Avatar (only) has another $700 million to earn but looking at the rapid success of the film, nothing can be ruled out. Avatar's ticket prices are higher than the usual 2-D fare and it's unlikely to face tough competition this weekend at the cinemas - the movie could yet sink Titanic.
