After an expensive bet of $300 plus million on the film “Avatar” by Fox, they are now laughing all the way to the bank as the film has reached the $1 billion mark world wide and $352 million domestically. The film has made history becoming the forth biggest movie of all time. HTe only films ahead of “Avatar” are “Titanic” ($1.8 billion), “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” ($1.12 billion), and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” ($1.07 billion). From the looks of it being that its only in its third week it very well may pass “Titanic”
