James Cameron’s Avatar grossed $19.4 million on Monday, marking the science fiction-fantasy movie at a total of $232.1 million in just 11 days.  Obviously, Avatar is headed toward $300 million mark this weekend. 

The overall domestic box office is up 43% compared to last year. 

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, a wonderfully entertaining movie for kids, came in second place at $12.4 million with a total of $87.7 million.  Sherlock Holmes came in third with $11. 2 million, totaling $73.6 million for its four-day run.

I guess it’s true in the movie business that every day is like a Saturday between Christmas and New Years.
