"Avatar" Beats Out "Titanic" in The Worldwide Box Office

With awards rolling in, James Cameron�s Avatar has officially topped the director�s other box office smash Titanic. Current numbers have the sci-fi thriller raking in over a billion dollars internationally.

According to E! Online, Avatar took home $1.29 billion worldwide, surpassing Titanic�s record $1.24 billion. If things keep up, it has the potential to beat out Titantic�s worldwide record of $1.848 million.

And to keep the ball rolling, the flick starring Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver could even beat Titantic�s domestic gross of $600.8 million sooner than expected � with an already whopping $552.8 million under its belt, E! Online reports.

If James Cameron�s record was going to be taken over, at least the competition is friendly.
