Avatart

US TOP 10: Avatar retains the top spot for the third week running. James Cameron's 3D sci-fi epic also cruises past $300 million in the US, and has become the fastest movie in history to break the $1 billion barrier worldwide (taking just 17 days). It's already the fourth highest-grossing movie ever, too. Something tells me a sequel will happen.

UK TOP 10: Avatar jumps back to the #1 spot after being embarassingly dislodged by Alvin & The Chipmunks last week. Hugh Grant's "comeback" Did You Hear About the Morgans? does fairly well, making £1.1m over the weekend to take #4.
