On The Verge...

 

No surprise: Avatar continues its astounding run, taking first yet again with 31.2 million. By the end of this week, it should pass 600 million, thus making it the biggest domestic film of all time. Currently, "Avatar" smashed the worldwide record as it has grossed over an astounding 2 billion. Even with "Alice In Wonderland" scheduled to take over 3-D screens in a month, will there be an end in sight for "Avatar"?  Leading the pack with "The Hurt Locker" in Oscar nominations, business should continue to boom.

The aliens of Pandora easily beat out Mel Gibson's first movie in over 7 years, Edge Of Darkness, which opened to mixed reviews and 17.1 million. The romantic comedy When In Rome had a modest opening, taking in 12.3 million.

Having a decent hold was Tooth Fairy with 9.9 million, while The Book Of Eli made 8.9 million this weekend. Legion made 7.1 million, followed by The Lovely Bones with 4.7 million. Rounding out the weekend were Sherlock Holmes (4.5 million), Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel (3.9 million) and It's Complicated (3.8 million).

In second was newcomer Legion, with a pretty solid 17.5 million. The Book Of Eli took in 15.7 million, while Tooth Fairy had an okay showing of 14.1 million. The Lovely Bones made 8.4 million, followed by Sherlock Holmes with 6.6. Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel grossed 6.4 million for the weekend, while the Harrison Ford medical drama Extraordinary Measures flat-out bombed with 6 million. Rounding out the top ten were It's Complicated with 5.8 million and The Spy Next Door with 4.5 million.

Next weekend: will "Avatar" top the charts yet again? Stay tuned, DVD fans.
