[snip] One of the reasons Titanic made the nearly $2 billion in worldwide box office is that teenage girls went to see it multiple times. Same thing of course for virtually all the Star War films with Sci-Fi geeks. It's pretty obvious that Avatar is shaping up as the same sort of phenomenon with the following difference: the "repeat" demographic is probably, for the first time in cinematic history, going to be ACROSS THE BOARD. That is, EVERYONE regardless of age and gender is going to go see this thing more than once. PREDICTION: Avatar will not only gross $3 billion in worldwide box office it will do it faster than the previous box office winner in real dollars -- Titanic -- did it getting to $2 billion and faster than the all-time winner in "adjusted for inflation" dollars -- Gone with the wind -- did it getting to its total.
