Watch this 23-minute behind the scenes video to see how the number 1 movie of all time was conceptualized and created by James Cameron.

According to Box Office Mojo, as of January 26, 2010, Avatar earned approximately US $1,878,025,999 worldwide (that’s almost 1.9 billion US dollars). In the United States alone, the movie’s ticket sales for 40 days is a staggering $558,179,737. That domestic gross accounted for almost 30 percent of the revenue worldwide. Next to the US is China (with $103,113,774), Russia ($96,259,863), and South Korea ($79,691,558). The Philippines ranked in the bottom ten with only $5,197,803 ticket sales since the movie debuted on December 17, 2009. Maybe this figure was caused by the MMFF with almost all Philippine cinemas showing only local films from December 25 to January 6?

I predict that Avatar’s total box office sales will increase to 2 billion dollars in the middle of February 2010. And when this happens, the Pandora 3D movie will be the first film to reach the 2-billion-dollar mark.

FYI: The Titanic reached the 1.8 billion dollar profit in 70 days. Avatar did it only for 38 days.  I myself watched the movie 4 times. How many times did you watched it?

Decorating for Small Spaces

Unless you have a lot of money to burn, there is a good chance that you can only afford to live in a small space. This then makes decorating quite a challenge. Your ultimate goal is how to ensure that you can have enough room to breathe without making your space look drab.

Here are great ideas on how you can expand rooms and make them look stately and airy:

1. Hang curtain rods near the ceiling.
Small homes usually have low ceilings. Nevertheless, you can always create an illusion of higher ones by simply moving the curtain rods a lot closer to them. It gives you the feeling that you have very tall windows.
