I'm really disappointed by the lack of noms for Bright Star. I don't understand why it is doing so poorly in this year's awards season, considering the quality of some of the more honoured competition...

I really hope my man Tarantino is the beneficiary for voters wanting to sidestep the Cameron-Bigelow debacle. I think this is the one major category Harvey can pull off with a win despite losing big at the Globes. Tarantino won't win for this film. Inglorious Basterds is a live-action cartoon... As...

As someone who had no emotional investment in any of the movies up for the big prizes, I actually quite liked Avatar winning. Not because I think that much of the film but only because it injected some life into this most dreary of awards seasons...

Spielberg still shits on Cameron as far as the popularity of his films go in North America. Adjusted, Cameron has only 2 films (soon to be 3) in the top 100 of all time (in today's dollars) Oh, calm down! Cameron's going to have three films in the all-time high-grossers club compared to Spielberg's...

James Cameron either has a pact with the devil to create a worldwide mass hypnosis, or he really is just the most crowd-pleasing director in the history of cinema. Spielberg still shits on Cameron as far as the popularity of his films go in North America. Adjusted, Cameron has only 2 films (soon to...

What's with the attitude? And this is a big deal, considering that this is its THIRD weekend in release and it actually INCREASED from last Friday to this Friday. I was being delighted, MovieWes, not ironic. I am truly amazed with Avatar's box office status. And also LOVE the film. I'm sorry that I...

Looks like it has made 107% of the first week's gross in its second week.

When was the last time a film that has gone as wide as this has made more in its second week than its first?

It just made $18,290,628 on its second Tuesday, which is 13.7% higher than its first Tuesday. It looks like it is going to make more money in its second full week than its first!

lol...if Cameron wants his film to be as popular as his last one, it has to surpass $921,523,500 at the North American box office... You're adjusting for inflation, though, Matthew. Titanic made around $600mil at the domestic box office, and if The Dark Knight couldn't top that then Avatar won't ei...

WARNING: SPOILERS Empire Magazine Chris Hewitt Avatar Avatar is unequivocally, completely, 100% the film that has been percolating in James Cameron’s head for the last fourteen years. It is not, in all probability, the film that you had in yours when you first heard that the man who directed Aliens...
