Foreign earnings are driving the "Avatar" phenomenon with nearly 70% of its worldwide boxoffice of $1.690 billion coming from offshore playoff.
Worldwide, "Avatar" as of Thursday still had $153 million to go to beat "Titanic's" record global boxoffice take of $1.843 billion.

Avatar has the advantage of higher ticket pricing not only for the regular showings, but for the IMAX 3D showings as well.
It's really not fair to compare $ to $. It's better to compare ticket sales to ticket sales...
