If you've stood in awe of "Avatar's" staggering run at the box office the last seven weeks, prepare to let your jaw drop farther. But if you're tired of hearing about every record "Avatar" breaks, don't worry: There aren't many left.
Here is a look, by the numbers, at where James Cameron's 3-D epic stands as of Sunday.
$2.039 billion: "Avatar's" worldwide gross in ticket sales, broadening its lead as the top-earning movie of all time.
$594.5 million: The movie's domestic gross. It likely will sink the Cameron-directed "Titanic" ($600.7 million) sometime this week — possibly Tuesday, the day Oscar nominations are announced — to become the No. 1 domestic movie.
7: Number of consecutive weeks "Avatar" has been the No. 1 movie at the domestic box office.
