In the US: Avatar is still raking in the dough, making $30m last weekend, having recently become the biggest selling movie of all time (perhaps helped by its Golden Globe wins)... Mel Gibson's remake of classic British miniseries EDGE OF DARKNESS has to settle for #2 with $17m... and the poorly-reviewed Kristen Bell romcom WHEN IN ROME is a disappointment at #3 with just $12m...

In the UK: Avatar is likewise proving unbeatable at the British box-office still, taking £4.8m to keep #1... Mel Gibson's EDGE OF DARKNESS does okay to get #3 with £1.1m... and critical darling PRECIOUS makes £260k, debuting at a dismal #9, but that's actually pretty good considering it was only available at 47 cinemas nationwide...
