Avatar makes a billion buckaroos, but I still don't want to see it.

Well, James Cameron is the King of the world and has pimp slapped Michael Bay off his soapbox. Avatar has made a billion bucks world wide.

Twentieth Century Fox and James Cameron's "Avatar" rang in the New Year with an estimated worldwide cume of $1 billion through Sunday, becoming the fourth highest grosser of all time.

Domestic cume was $352.1 million, including a weekend take of $68.3 million, the best gross ever for a film in its third weekend.

Overseas, the pic's cume through Sunday was $670.2 million.

I am happy about this because it's not a remake, an 80's toy fetish or a book series. So maybe companies will be open to NEW ideas.

However, I'm not so sure I want to watch the Attack of the Cat People for 3 hours.
