Avatar continues to dominate.
January 19th 2010 13:59
The Lovely bones and the Book of Eli failed to take down Avatar at the box office. Eli beat it on friday, but quickly lost momentum and Avatar continues it's winning streak. The Lovely bones was in theird place after being delayed for a long time due to mixed and generally negative reviews. It's budget in my opinion is the main reason for it's failure as the film was too overproduced which sucks for Peter jackson. Anyway as good as the trailer for Eli looked, Denzel couldn't beat out Avatar.
This leaves me with one question. Who the hell can beat Avatar and dethrone it at the box office? How long will it take?
Here is the box office roundup.
