“‘Avatar’ wins boxoffice for fourth weekend”

From THR:

Fox’s “Avatar” avalanche piled boxoffice higher than any other film for a fourth consecutive weekend, with an estimated $48.5 million tally in the latest frame producing a $429 million domestic cume.

Doubly deep foreign grosses give James Cameron’s sci-fi epic a $1.34 billion worldwide cume, the second-highest in history after the filmmaker’s “Titanic,” which cruised to $1.84 billion in 1997–98. Its domestic total is the seventh-best ever after 24 days of release.

The weekend’s three wide releases bowed further down the session rankings.

 — Lionsgate’s vampire actioner “Daybreakers,” starring Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke, rung up $15 million in fourth place.

 — Universal’s romantic comedy “Leap Year,” starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode, debuted roughly as expected with $9.2 million in sixth place.

 — Dimension Films’ Michael Cera-toplined comedy “Youth in Revolt” unspooled limply, with $7 million in ninth place.
