20th Century Fox announced on Tuesday that James Cameron's film “Avatar” ha become the grossing film ever. Avatar has already earned 1.859 billion dollars and surpassed the previous record set by Cameron's famous film “Titanic.” James Cameron earned fame thanks to Titanic which received 11 Academy Awards. This time Cameron offers a science-fiction epic story which uses the best digital technology and 3D presentation. The production of the film cost $200 more than Cameron spent on Titanic. To understand it right we need to considerate the fact that ticket prices are now about $2 higher than 12 years ago. Furthermore, Avatar tickets for IMA and 3D screenings are even more expensive. Greg Brilliant, spokesman for the News Corp-owned studio said that comparing to Titanic which earned $1.843 billion in years 1997-1998, sfi-fi spectacular “Avatar” stands at $1.859 billion after Monday's sales. When Avatar hit the 1 billion dollar mileston! e, many asked whether it has what it takes to beat Titanic and get on the all-time biggest earners list. Today Avatar has not only surpass Titanic, but it seems that it also sets a new record. According to Torrentfreak, Avatar is the most pirated movie right now. However, it still earns millions in cinema and seems that it will not stop that soon. It is interesting that the movie industry is not complaining about the fact that the film is being pirated. Some analysts say that it is not only the Simulcam and Fusion 3D camera that helped Avatar to have record gains, but it is also the fact that its creators effectively used social sites such as Facebook, Twitter or MySpace.
