"titanic" held the record for box office gross for twelve years. cameron's follow-up film, "avatar", was considered the first film with a genuine chance at surpassing its worldwide gross, and did so in 2010. various explanations for why the film was able to successfully challenge "titanic" were given. for one, "two-thirds of "titanic" haul was earned overseas, and "avatar" [tracked] similarly... "avatar" opened in 106 markets globally and was no. 1 in all of them" and the markets "such as russia, where "titanic" saw modest receipts in 1997 and 1998, are white-hot today" with "more screens and moviegoers" than ever before. brandon gray, president of box office mojo, said that while "avatar" may beat "titanic" revenue record, the film is unlikely to surpass "titanic" in attendance. "ticket prices were about $3 cheaper in the late 1990s." in december 2009, cameron had stated, "i don't think it's realistic to try to topple "titanic" off its perch. some pretty good movies have come out in the last few years. "titanic" just struck some kind of chord." in a january 2010 interview, he gave a different take on the matter once "avatar" performance was easier to predict. "it's gonna happen. it's just a matter of time," he said.
