It’s Official: Avatar Is the Number One Box Office Movie of All Time

Chalk one more up for James Cameron. After the wave of stories yesterday about how Avatar was almost #1, Avatar has cracked the threshold and is now the highest-grossing film of all time. With $1.8437 billion as of Sunday, Avatar topped Titanic‘s worldwide gross of $1.8432, though it’s still short of Titanic‘s box office in the U.S.
Twentieth Century Fox said that the sci-fi epic had amassed an estimated global total box office take of $1.8437 billion, just ahead of Titanic’s worldwide total of $1,843,201,268, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The worldwide crown isn’t adjusted for inflation, and Avatar’s high grosses were certainly boosted by higher ticket prices overall and especially for 3-D and IMAX screenings. (Check BoxOfficeMojo for the full list of inflation-adjusted grosses.)
