Well no wonder.

Still, Titanic is on TV all the time. Everyone's seen it. The fact that it beat out a hot new $200M+ tentpole is impressive, regardless of # of screens.

Also I needed an eye-catching title to lure people to the thread

Yes, but that works in Titanic's favor. It made $88M on its 2nd weekend.

Whoever's seen a 3D movie involving people getting hacked up in the last 3 years, and that's countless horror movies.

Random, but this got me excited!

Oscar winners Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman are in talks to play as estranged sisters in Lilies & Butterflies based on a story developed by Charles Dance. Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) will take the director's seat in this showdown of two of today's acting heavyweights. - EW

LMAO! Titanic is a beast.

The fact that arguably every single breathing figure on Earth has already seen it multiple times. . . amazing.

Even worse.

Titanic grossed a massive $88.2 million for the weekend -- including a record-breaking $58 million bow in China -- beating the $58 million debut of Universal's high-profile summer tentpole Battleship.
Battleship -- which is rolling out five weeks early overeas -- only debuted this weekend in 26 markets

nothing shocking here. next week when Battleship debuts in another 24 markets including China (where you best bet it'll do huge numbers), we'll see a huge surge.

Can Titanic surpass Avatar's numbers?

I hope so

I think it can pass eventually. Plus, I think Titanic isn't that far behind from Avatar's gross. We'll see.

Just to point out, it is not it's second week in many countries including China where it owes $58 million from.

"Titanic" won't beat "Avatar." It's still like $700M away

At least it's ahead in terms of attendance.
