Follow me on:

Finally, eight weeks after its debut Avatar is no longer the top box office dog. In a surprise move, the romantic drama Dear John snapped Avatar's box office reign. Dear John outperformed expectations, bringing females into theaters (The Hollywood Reporter says 84% of the film's audience were women), and taking down Avatar in what wasn't even a close battle.
