The top grossing film of the holiday weekend, James Cameron’s cinematic gem Avatar, has brought in over a billion dollars in worldwide ticket sales.
Avatar is now the fourth highest earning film in history and was last marked at $1.02 billion.
The sci-fi film has sold an estimated $372 million dollars in tickets sales in the U.S. alone and is still bringing in moviegoers as it approaches its fourth weekend in box offices around the globe.
The film is also the highest earning IMAX film to date with over $64 million dollars earned.
Avatar is in the number four spot for highest earning movies while the number one position belongs to another one of Cameron’s film’s Titanic, which has brought in $1.8 billion dollars.
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is number two with $1.12 billion, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is in the third spot with $1.7 billion in worldwide ticket sales as reported by Reuters.
Avatar is based on the story of a soldier who finds himself in hostile territory and the plot unfolds as he tries to make his way about the environment of an alien planet.
The entire film is presented in a computer-generated environment and was held back for production until Cameron felt the industry standard for computer graphics was to his liking.
