Down goes James Cameron’s Avatar. Long live … Dear John. Yeah, doesn’t really have the expected ring of victory most anti-Avatar fans were waiting for. After two months, Avatar is no longer the tops at the box office. Interesting timing, considering this is the week that Avatar overtook Titanic for the number one box office draw of all-time.
