Avatar Is Now the #2 Movie of All Time, So Expect a Sequel and Hope For an Adaptation of The Last Train From Hiroshima

1 hour ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

At the 1997 Academy Awards, after Titanic won Best Picture, James Cameron famously proclaimed “I’m the king of the world!”  If Avatar wins at this year’s awards, he might just be able to declare himself king of the universe.  Avatar has just passed The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King to obtain the number two slot on the all time worldwide box office with an astounding $1.13 billion.  Meanwhile AICN reports that Cameron has officially affirmed that an Avatar sequel is in the works and Variety confirms that the director has optioned The Last Train From Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back with his own funds.
