61 Million Have Seen 'Avatar' So Far

Brandon Gray at BoxOfficeMojo.com must have a lot of time on his hands. He actually figured out how many people have seen "Avatar" so far. His best guess is 61 million. That's not an easy number to come by because Hollywood studios only track how much money comes in, not how many tickets are sold.

"Avatar" passed "Titanic" this week to become the No. 1 top-grossing film of all time, but there's some controversy because most of "Avatar" tickets sales are for 3-D screenings, which cost more than most tickets to see movies.

Gray writes:

All told, Avatar's estimated admission count is 60.7 million thus far, or less than Titanic through the same point (47 days in). It's also less than half of Titanic's 128 million total estimated admissions. Emphasizing the impressiveness of Avatar, it took such recent blockbusters as The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Spider-Man 2, The Passion of the Christ and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith their entire runs to reach around 60 million admissions.
