Wow! I remember having this conversation with my friend and even though I thoroughly enjoyed 'Avatar', 'Titanic's record had stood for so long I was doubtful it's gross would be surpassed. This is impressive to see, whether you liked the film or not. Way to go 'Avatar'! Bring on the sequel!

I enjoyed Avatar but Titanic will always be the number one film of all time to me; it had so much more that Avatar did not. Better story telling, script, acting, and for its time lovely visuals. 1997 will be a year I will never forget the run that Titanic gave us it opened with less then 30million and week after week added small numbers 41 weeks I believe? Titanic's run amazed me and I'm proud to say it was more enjoyable then Avatar.

"Avatar" has done in nine weeks what "Titanic" had to do for a YEAR! Well done, Cameron! PLEASE don't f*** up "Avatar 2".

Titanic will regain its tilte once it is released next year in 3D. Plus if you factor in inflation Titanic has made nearly 800 million.
