Avatar is currently sitting at number five all time on the highest worldwide gross list. It has already made over one billion dollars and within the next two or three days it will surpass the Dark Knight gross. This is three weeks after the opening of the movie. In it's third weekend of release the movie brought in 68 million dollars in America alone, slightly less than the 77 million dollar opening weekend and the 75 million second week numbers. Some rumors had the budget as high as 500 million after all the advertising was said and done. Many people wondered whether the movie would be a flop. It has now gone on to make more than double what it cost to produce in a span of under 20 days of worldwide release.
