It also beat out the previously held $1.84 billion worldwide sales, making $2 billion at the box office. Cameron's producing partner Jon Landau said in a statement, "When some said to us, 'How is it going to feel to knock off 'Titanic'? I think our response was, 'It's about time those guys got knocked off their perch.’”
"Lightning is not supposed to strike twice. And it has. And it's a pinch-me moment when you sit there and you hear that we're going to break another record. It's beyond anything that we could have imagined," he said.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, studios are looking to take several box office hits out of the vault for a second release in 3D.
