When many thought it would be Edge of Darkness or Wolfman that would do it, a rom-com Dear John is the movie which has replaced James Cameron’s 3D epic Avatar that saw a seven week unchallenged streak in the box office.
Dear John exceeded expectations when it made a collection of $32.4 million in it’s weekend opening in North America. This put an end to Avatar’s rule in the box office. With a weekend collection of $23.6 million, Cameron’s epic saga has hauled $2.2 billion globally of which $630 million is from the US.
At the Santa Barbara Film Festival, Cameron was asked about the upcoming sequel to Avatar. And his reply was, “I definitely have a story arc in mind for the second film and even on a very vague base for a third film. That doesn’t mean we’ll do a third film – it doesn’t mean we’ll stop at a third film. We’ll just have to see where it goes.”
But this doesn’t necessarily have to be Cameron’s next release. So we just need to do what we are used to doing…. Wait and watch!
