“Avatar” led the box office for the fourth straight weekend, according to EW.com, earning $48.5 million. The sci-fi flick became the seventh-highest grossing movie of all time in America and will likely jump a few spots on the list next weekend.

But studios and fans alike are still waiting to see if the movie will “knock ‘Titanic’ off its perch as the domestic and worldwide box-office king.” Both films were made by James Cameron. “Titanic” earned $600.8 million in America and $1.8 billion globally while “Avatar” currently has banked $429 million in the states and $1.3 billion overall.

The Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law film “Sherlock Holmes” came in second with $16.6 million in its third weekend for a total of $165.2 million. At third was “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” with $16.3 million and a total gross of $178.2 million.

The new thriller “Daybreakers” came in fourth, making $15 million. The Ethan Hawke vampire movie had a reported budget of only $20 million, which means it will likely break even and then some.

Tweeters reviewed the weekend’s films:

   rachtotheizzo Gotta say I didn’t enjoy “Sherlock Holmes” as much as I thought I would. You’d think RDJ would be enough to fight sleepiness + a food coma.

   usumcasane Speaking of film, AVATAR continues to prove that you don’t have to tell a good story to do well, you just need enough spectacle.

   LoFiJosh Daybreakers blew my mind. A completely original twist on the vampire genre. Highly recommend checking it out.
