Exhibitor Relations This is beginning to sound like a broken record: "Avatar" grossed $18.4 million on Wednesday. Domestic total now stands at $268 million with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Could Cameron actually topple his "Titanic" self? Worldwide "Avatar" has now amassed over $750 million.

I think it's going to bring some where around 50 to 60 million I think this weekend.It has a chance to break Transformers 2 402 million record or beat Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 380 million.It's gold at box office for James Cameron and 20 th Century Fox.
