I think the word we're looking for is... "WOW!" James Cameron's Avatar earned yet another $19 million domestically on Monday, its 11th day in theaters, which is almost $3 million more than last Monday, when it earned $16.38 million. The $19 million marks the 7th biggest Monday of all-time and it pushes the film's domestic total to $232 million.

James Cameron’s mega-budget epic raised eyebrows with its overseas boxoffice staying power, grossing $145 million -- a mere 12% drop from its opening weekend.

Today MySpace Movies exclusively debuts the restricted trailer for REPO MEN, starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber. Universal Pictures' futuristic action-thriller is in theaters on April 2, 2010 and directed by Miguel Sapochnik.

After earning an impressive $16.4 million domestically on Monday, James Cameron's Avatar added another $16.1 million on Tuesday! That's the second-highest number for a non-opening film ever (behind The Dark Knight 's $20.9 million) and third-biggest Tuesday of all-time, trailing only The Dark Knight and Transformers , which opened on a Tuesday in 2007 and earned $27.9 million.

After months of breathless buzz, speculation, and doubt, James Cameron's "Avatar" finally arrived in movie theaters nationwide, and its box office prognosis definitely isn't blue.

"Avatar" rang up $3.5 million in domestic boxoffice from 12:01 a.m. Friday performances.

If there isn't significant attendance loss, then Hollywood is now estimating this pre-Xmas 3-day weekend's opening grosses at $80M -- or $27M for Friday including the midnight shows, then $30M on Saturday, and $23M on Sunday when most colleges and high schools are out Monday.

IESB has been visiting the set of 20th Century Fox' PREDATORS today in Austin, Texas where it was revealed to us that veteran actor Laurence Fishburne had been added to the cast of the film, most likely because he was on set today as well and none of us knew he was in the film. Fishburne will play the character called Noland and will appear as an uncredited cameo role in the Robert Rodriguez produced film.

The trailer for the summer 2010 sequel to "Iron Man" is out. "Iron Man 2" reunites Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. The film also adds Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke and swaps in Don Cheadle for Terrence Howard. Like the first it is directed by Jon Favreau.

The movie is out May 7.

Entertainment Tonight , in their usual let's cut up everything and "we're number one" style, has aired the first footage from Iron Man 2 in a promo for Wednesday's show that you can watch using the player below. Stay tuned to the program on Wednesday for possibly more footage.
