‘Dear John’ bumps ‘Avatar’ out of the No. 1 spot

The romantic movie Dear John has accomplished something that no other movie has been able to do for the past seven weeks; it beat Avatar. Dear John debuted this weekend raking in 32.4 million. Avatar came in at second place with 23.6 million. According to the Associated Press, Avatar has soared past the $1.8 billion Titanic took in globally.

Domestically, Avatar has been in the No. 1 spot longer than any other movie since Titanic was released in 1997. I personally thought From Paris with Love was going to do better. I hear Dear John has its moments, but it isn’t worth the hype.

Check out the rest of the standings from this weekend below.

1 Dear John (2010) $32.4M
2 Avatar (2009) $23.6M
3 From Paris with Love (2010) $8.12M
4 Edge of Darkness (2010) $7M
5 Tooth Fairy (2010) $6.5M

8 Crazy Heart (2009) $3.65M
