Their estimated price on that website is $7.10?!

Movie tickets are like $12!

I don't like those numbers though. What if the Avatar tickets are cheaper and more people go to see the movie multiple times, thus making its gross even higher? You just can't know.
I don't understand what you're saying.  Movie tickets are more expensive now than at any time in history.
Special offers? It all gets skewed by that kind of thing.

Why don't the tickets sold get recorded instead of the money taken in.

Agreed, there would be a much more reliable result.

Absolutely.  Though there would still be a slant in how big of a release a film gets (The Dark Knight's was ungodly), inflation wouldn't play into it as a factor, nor would novelty price additions like 3D and IMAX.

So, the world has reached a new Avatar craze:

A Chinese mountain has reportedly been renamed in honour of the sci-fi film Avatar, after claims it had inspired scenery in the fantasy blockbuster.

At least we usually have the failsafe that people who'd name their kids "Leia" or "Trinity" don't get the option of pro-creating. It's like they're cheating the system now.
