It’s just not the Hollywood but the entire world cinema that is going ga ga over James Cameron’s science-fiction epic “Avatar”. The best part of the movie is neither its special effects nor the highly dramatized creation of the movie per se, but the huge business it has done so far. Apparently, the movie has made $73 million domestically, $159.2 million overseas, making it to the whopping total of $232.2 million worldwide.

James Cameron and his distributors for sure must be dancing in millions. They deserve it undoubtedly though. 20th Century Fox, the distributor of the movie proclaimed that they made a good investment in the $400 million movie. Avatar is Cameron’s first narrative feature since the block buster “Titanic” released in 1997. Avatar may be seen as the epitome of digital 3-D projection.

However, Avatar missed the record for December debuts, which is set by Will Smith’s “I Am Legend”, released in 2007 with an opening of $77.2 million. It nevertheless, broke the record for a 3-D film opening, which was previously held by last summer’s “Up” with $68.1 million. Looks like the 10 footer blue-skinned aliens created by digital cameras have worked wonders for Cameron. Although you may not enjoy as much as “Titanic” it still is a must see movie!
