Yeah. We get it. King of the World. James Cameron's Avatar is closing in on James Cameron's Titanic. Making another $30 million this weekend ranks as the highest-grossing seventh weekend ever. Yes, you guessed it, the film it passed was Titanic with $25.9 million. Analysts are saying Avatar should pass Titanic and its $600.8 million by Wednesday to make it the highest-grossing movie of all time. Keep in mind, it's not even close to the attendance record. Ticket prices, especially 3D ticket prices are more expensive.
