The Disney movie “Avatar: Way of the Water,” showing January 13-15 and 20-22 at Richardson Theatres, is heading to be the highest grossing movie EVER. Last we checked, that number is growing exponentially daily, the number on Monday was $2.29 billion world-wide and nearly $600 million domestically, $45 million last weekend, Friday through Sunday. The original “Avatar” is the hightest grossing movie of all time at $2.92 billion. No one seems to be sure about how much it cost to make but Variety magazine estimated it at about $350 million— about $100 million over the original budget.

As screwed up as Hollywood is, maybe they could provide some tips to our government on how to come up with a source like that, without more taxes?! -bb
