For several days now ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ is the fourth highest grossing film in history, a milestone only eclipsed because ‘Avatar’ ranks number 1. Getting there seems impossible, but third place is within his reach. The problem is that everything points to a battle as striking as it is absurd against ‘Titanic’.
The battle for third place
If we look at the current income of both films, ‘Avatar 2’ already accumulates 2,177 million dollars compared to 2,194 for ‘Titanic’. It is going to be agonizing, but it is probable that adding the international income not yet accounted for will surpass the romance between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet throughout today – or even tomorrow morning.
The problem is that if you do, then you will not have time to open distances until ‘Titanic’ returns to theaters on a limited basis this February 10, and it is almost inevitable that in just a few days it will regain third position on the list of the highest grossing films in the history of cinema.
The absurdity may be even greater, since the logical thing is that ‘Titanic’ collects “a lot” in its first days back in theaters and that it disappears from theaters shortly after – just what happened with the re-release of “Avatar” just a few months ago , while ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ should still last a few more weeks in theaters around the world. Therefore, he could once again recover that symbolic bronze medal. And if he doesn’t get it then, maybe with a small rerun when ‘Avatar 3’ hits theaters…
It is clear that any topic that encourages the conversation about the world of cinema will be well received by many, but there comes a point where things can be quite ridiculous. What is clear is that James Cameron will be, once again, the big winnerand no matter what exactly happens.
