1. "Avatar" ($9.1 million)
2. "Legion" ($6.7 million)
3. "The Book of Eli" ($4.9 million)
4. "Tooth Fairy" ($3.5 million)
5. "The Lovely Bones" ($2.6 million)
With six Friday performances under its belt, James Cameron's "Avatar" remains the top dog at the box office, once again pulling out a first place finish worth $9.1 million — and just like the late musician Wesley Willis, "Avatar" is now poised to whoop Batman's you know what.
After six weeks, "Avatar" has earned a cumulative domestic total of $525.9 million, just a few short strides away from the $533.3 million held by "The Dark Knight." It's a virtual certainty that after this weekend's haul, "Avatar" will surpass the Christopher Nolan-directed comic book flick to become the second highest grossing film of all time at the domestic box office.
Of course, "Titanic" is the ship to sink should "Avatar" stand a chance at claiming the all-time top spot. Currently, the science fiction epic is just $74.9 million short of "Titanic's" $600.8 million domestic tally. Additionally, a Fox executive told The Hollywood Reporter that "Avatar" will surpass "Titanic's" overseas total of $1.242 billion by the weekend's conclusion. With each passing day, it's looking likelier and likelier that Cameron will ultimately top himself.
