3d-movieI have yet to see a bad review of Avatar and a bunch of people went to see the movie too. Avatar brought in $232.2m in its opening weekend, although it could have been so much more if global warming could have helped out a bit. East Coasters probably were probably too busy digging out from over a foot of snow that fell over the last few days to go see a movie.

Out of the $232.2 million, only $73 came from the US and Canada. The rest were primarily from the UK, France, and Russia. While the opening numbers weren’t record-breaking impressive, the movie will probably continue to sell great as word-of-mouth reviews rave about the 3D effects. This is definitely one that deserves your money, folks. At least that’s what I hear.
