The Book of Eli was looking mighty good Friday, but Avatar is very close to $500 million mark for the domestic box office. Well…”You’re not in Kansas any more.”  The box office is in Pandora and will be, I suspect, for quite some time. I can’t speculate any new movies doing better than Book of Eli  as an attempt to take over the box office unless you can think of one.
