One thing to add, though. A possible Oscar nomination could renew interest and renew box office about the time it would be playing out on its own; especially if the viewers are directed to IMAX $creenings. Great analysis.

I hope it does make it to #1, but it wont be easy still indeed. But if it does, it'll be sad for me to see Dark Knight get dropped off the top 5. I can see it taking a Top 10 Domestic spot for sure. This kind of thing also makes me think about all those people that have to go out and see it. And how allot of them have to be people who don't go out to see movies very often or even not at all. For a movie to have that kind of draw is indeed astounding. Not to mention, this is an epic Sci-Fi movie, which has got to be HUGE for the Sci-Fi movie genre. That’s amazing.

I surely didnt pay to see it at theater either! Heck I liked the Poseiden Adventure (1972) better than Cameron's Titanic. Go Avatar!

A higher price means you need a better movie to get some people out to theaters. If you want to know how many people really went to see it divide the boxoffice by the ticket price. ~133.1 million people (or repeated people) have seen Avitar ~283.5 million people saw titanic. About twice as many. But does it really matter? I think when you weigh out how much more they made from higher ticket prices versus how much harder it is to get people to come due to higher prices, it has to level the playing field at least a little.

How many people really went to see it? That's what I always know. Its easier to hit a higher mark when the acceptable ticket price today is $8.50 but how does that compare when it used to be $6.50?
