‘Avatar’ lands $27 million at box-office on Friday
Looks like Avatar is well on its way to an eye-popping opening weekend, banking an estimated $27 million at the box-office on Friday, according to Hollywood.com Box Office. (This includes the $3.5 million the 3-D epic made in midnight showings Thursday night.) Of course, this is nowhere near the biggest opening days of the year – The Twilight Saga: New Moon made $72 million on its first Friday, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen took in $62 million on its first Wednesday. But for some perspective, director James Cameron’s last film, the $600-million-grossing Titanic, made $28.6 million in its entire opening weekend.
Check back at this web address later in the day for a report on the full Friday box-office numbers.
