Valentine’s Weekend Goes to Appropriately-Named Film

Valentine’s Weekend Goes to Appropriately-Named Film

What movies did people use to feed voracious Valentine’s Day/Presidents’ Day film appetites? These ones: 1. Valentine’s Day - $52.4 million , narrowly beating Drinking Wine Alone in a Bubble Bath for most stereotypical way a sad lady could spend the weekend. 2. Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief - $31.1 million . Not everyone was as excited as I was to see Pierce Brosnan in Warrior Hobo . 3. The Wolfman - $30.6 million , firmly establishing that wolfmen, like vampires, are still at their most popular when they’re teenagers. 4. Avatar - $22 million . That’s almost $660 million, for those of you with Avatar stock. 5. Dear John - $15.3 million . BUT IT’S SO ROMANTIC. Weekend Box Office Results [Box Office Mojo]

Oh, Right, ‘Avatar’ Still Had Another Box Office Record To Break

Oh, Right, ‘Avatar’ Still Had Another Box Office Record To Break

Sick of hearing about how much money someone who isn’t you is making? Me too! Still though, just in case it comes up on the Jeopardy! teen tournament, you should know that, in addition to having made more money worldwide than any other film, Avatar has now also made the most money domestically with a still-rising gross of over $601 million. Treat yourself to something nice, James Cameron. My philosophy has always been, everything over $600 million (domestic) should be considered “fun money.”

‘Avatar’ the Highest Grossing Film Ever

‘Avatar’ the Highest Grossing Film Ever

Welp, James Cameron finally managed to beat that boat movie he made. It’s official : Avatar , which is sort of a sci-fi thing that’s currently playing in theaters, has surpassed Titanic ’s worldwide box office, with a $1.859 billion total so far. Of course, Tooth Fairy is just gaining momentum, so… It should also be noted that Cameron’s film only holds the highest grossing title if you don’t adjust for inflation; otherwise, Gone with the Wind still takes the top spot. And if you adjust for highest grossing film that most guys have gotten a date to second or third base in, sorry, Avatar , it’s still the 2000 Ben Affleck/Gwyneth Paltrow film Bounce .
