1. "Avatar" ($36 million)
2. "Legion" ($18.2 million)
3. "The Book of Eli" ($17 million)
4. "Tooth Fairy" ($14.5 million)
5. "The Lovely Bones" ($8.8 million)
James Cameron's "Avatar" easily won its sixth straight weekend at the box office, but the film's victory over its current theatrical competitors is hardly the greatest cause for celebration — that distinction belongs to the Na'vi people's victory over Gotham City's personal superhero, as "Avatar" has officially surpassed Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" as the second highest grossing film of all time at the domestic box office.
With Batman out of the way, it's now a matter of Cameron versus Cameron both on the domestic and worldwide battle fronts. "Avatar" is currently second behind "Titanic" in both markets, but that won't last for long — "Avatar's" weekend haul of $36 million, only a 15.9 percent drop from last weekend's $54.4 million, leaves little doubt that "Titanic's" domestic record of $600.8 million will crumble.
More importantly, "Avatar's" worldwide total is now $1.836 billion to "Titanic's" current $1.842 billion record, according to Box Office Mojo. At this point, it's all but guaranteed that Cameron's latest will be the new king of the worldwide box office — it's just a matter of when and by how much.
