'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Is About to Dethrone 'Avatar' as No. 1 Movie Ever

Spare a thought for James Cameron this week. He's probably giving in to The Dark Side right about now, plotting revenge against director J.J. Abrams.

Abrams's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has already played the role of iceberg to Cameron's "Titanic" as the second highest-grossing movie in domestic box office history (that's what Jack gets for letting go), and Variety estimates that Episode VII will dethrone the real king of the world, "Avatar," within a week.

As Variety put it:

"Avatar" earned $760.5 million during its stateside run, and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has generated $740.4 million domestically after picking up $88.3 million over New Year's weekend. It should take the crown from "Avatar" early next week.


That's just the domestic haul, though. Worldwide, "The Force Awakens" is currently still No. 6 in history, but it's quickly on its way to passing "Furious 7" and "Marvel's The Avengers," and there's expectation that it may pass "Avatar" at the global box office, especially if China gets behind it.
Santa Barbara International Film FestivalIt's OK, man. You had a good run.
