James Cameron's Avatar will soon sink Titanic's global record of $1.843 billion, as the 20th Century Fox release earned yet another $54.6 million domestically over the four-day holiday weekend, claiming first place for a fifth weekend in a row. The film has reached $505.1 million in North America and passed up the $500 million mark in just 32 days, a new record. That record was held by The Dark Knight, which reached the mark in 45 days, and Avatar is expected to surpass the The Dark Knight in total domestic box office ($533.3 million) as well next weekend to become the second-biggest title of all time behind Cameron's own Titanic ($600.8 million). Avatar also set a new record for the biggest fifth weekend ever domestically, beating Titanic's $30 million by earning $41.3 million over the Friday-to-Sunday frame.

Internationally, Avatar earned $125 million from Friday to Sunday for a total of $1.115 billion (not counting Monday). The worldwide total has reached an amazing $1.64 billion already!
