I'm honestly surprised they DON'T do this every few years or so, maybe during a dry spell like right now, it could easily make another 100 to 200 mil because you'd have the loyal fans, me included, going


as well as the parents wanting to take their kids to see it in the theater like Thug just said

I'd be all for this. You know it would be the new bastardized versions though and not the originals.

It used to be that way for me. But with the big screen TV's and home theater systems, it's not so big a deal for me now. Maybe if it was at the iMax. But as far as normal theaters, a nice big screen and home theater system works just as good for me. Also I have a friend that has a 144" HD projection TV and better sound system than most theaters, which is better than going to the movies.

Well Avatar is up from #26 to #21 in overall ticket sales since I posted this thread. Compare that to Titanic at #6 and Gone With the Wind #1 respectively. Its also the highest grossing domestically now too, passing Titanic.

I know ticket prices are the big factor, but Titanic was in theatres for 250+ days, and no telling how long Gone With the Wind was. Avatar has only been out for 47 days now

If the tickets sold calculation is the one I was looking at a few days back, I don't think it's accurate. They take the gross and divide it by the average ticket price in a given year. Only the average ticket for Avatar has got to be higher than that, because of all the money made on more expensive IMAX showings and stuff like that. So the number of tickets sold would actually be lower.

You say that like you think people here are dismissing its level of success. We're just saying it's not technically the most popular movie of all time, despite having made the most money, and it's unikely to become that, though it will certainly creep closer and closer to the top in the next month or so.
