The latest blockbuster hit Avatar has made it to theatres in Yerevan.
Having marked its world premier in London on December 10, 2009,
the film reached Armenia on January 4, 2010, where it currently
screens three times daily to a full audience. Unlike options in other
countries, which allow for 3D or IMAX 3D viewing, Avatar is being
screened in 2D in Armenia. Still, the special effects are amazing and,
as some theatre-goers in Yerevan have said, it was worth the wait.
The film's budget was around $250 million USD, an amount it has thus
gained back in worldwide sales from its opening weekend.
According to Wikipedia, Avatar is the ninth-largest opening-weekend
gross of all time, and the largest for a non-franchise, non-sequel
and original film. After 19 days in worldwide release, it became the
fastest film to reach $1 billion USD in box office receipts and the
fifth to gross more than $1 billion worldwide. Within three weeks of
its release, the film became the second highest grossing film of all
time worldwide.
The film stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver,
Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang and is directed by James Cameron.
