Avatar- exhibition/marketing/audience and exchange issues

Avatar- produced by twentieth century fox film, directed by james cameron, the release date for what critics are calling ''outstanding'' was released on December 16th 2009.

considering Avatar was a worldwide phenomenon, the best source to find general reviews and information on the film would be such websites as

*www.rottentomatoes.co.uk

Others may not find these websites useful but they gave me all the information i needed on the film.
Box Office: Avatar’s Audience Continues to be Legion in Week 6

The Titanic is about to sink again — this time from the list of all-time box office champs. After taking in $1.842 billion in worldwide receipts back in the glory days of 1997, James Cameron’s “Titanic” is poised to be easily overtaken by Cameron’s follow-up film, “Avatar”, Titanic was one of the biggest selling films of all time but from critics point of view Avatar has surely taken over the spotlight.
