I'm getting tired of writing this. Once again, Avatar is on top, followed by Sherlock Holmes, followed by Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

Avatar picked up $48.5 million, bringing its total to just under $430 million in the US and $1.331 BILLION dollars internationally. For those keeping score at home, and you should, because this is getting to be historic. Avatar is the second-highest grossing movie of all time. The top film is James Cameron's Titanic.

One guy has the two highest grossing movies of all time. Just think about that. He made lightning strike twice. Both times people thought he was crazy. Both times he spent a dangerous amount of money (let's not forget that Titanic cost so much that Paramount and 20th Century Fox worked out an agreement to split the risk). Both times he made it work, beyond all reasonable expectation. This guy must have trouble buying pants, because his balls have got to be gigantic.

Sherlock Holmes and Alvin And The Chipmunks continue to be neck and neck, with Sherlock taking in $16.6 million, and Alvin taking home $16.3 million. Both films are also getting closer and closer to $200 million. I figure Alvin will take it this week, and Sherlock the week after.

Daybreakers could do little to stem this tide of CGI mania and Robert Downey Jr. madness. The vampire flick from Lionsgate took in a very respectable $15 million this weekend; while good for only fourth place, the $20 million picture is going to end up being a really good moneymaker for Lionsgate. Let's hope they don't go franchise-crazy with this one.

Holding onto the fifth spot this weekend is It's Complicated, which took in another $11 million during its surprisingly strong run at the box office. It'll probably pick up close to $100 million, which is kind of surprising given the relative age of its leads and the weakness of the romantic comedy genre. Are movies just making more money these days?

Speaking of romantic comedies, Leap Year debuts in sixth place. The movie took in $9.1 million this weekend. I'm a little surprised at the results, given how much Amy Adams has been in the news concerning her pregnancy, but this isn't the time of year for this film to be released. The surprisingly strong performances of the top three movies might also have something to do with it.

The Blind Side just continues to bring home money, as well. Despite being out for nearly two months, Sandra Bullock's sports film just continues to succeed, bringing in $7.75 million this weekend. That's nearly $220 million in the US, which, for a sports film and/or a Sandra Bullock movie, is unheard of. This movie found an audience, succeeded, and the buzz just kept on building thanks to Bullock.

George Clooney, garnering similar notice for Up In The Air, propelled that picture to another $7.1 million this weekend, good for eighth place. Youth In Revolt took in $7 million, but managed only ninth. Remember when Michael Cera was box office gold? Did Jesse Eisenberg successfully out-Cera Cera this year, and we didn't know it until now?

The Princess And The Frog will fall short of $105 million, its stated budget, but the movie took in another $4.7 million in the US this weekend, rounding out the top 10. It's not a shabby return for a fairly brave return to traditional animation after CGI flops, but if Disney can't make cash in this field, can anyone?

Out this weekend is Denzel Washington in The Book Of Eli. How sad is it that Wesley Snipes is losing out roles that have to have been written for Wesley Snipes to real actors? Once upon a time, there's no way that Black Stallone doesn't get this movie and absolutely kill in it. Now a dramatic actor gets to make an action movie.

Speaking of action, Jackie Chan is back in another children's action movie, this time starring as Bob Ho in The Spy Next Door. It's kind of like that movie where Vin Diesel is a babysitter, except Jackie Chan speaks English and you don't need to smear peanut butter on the roof of his mouth to make him look like he's talking and have someone dub his lines.

Finally, making wide release is Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones. While I wasn't sold on this movie based on the trailer, when someone told me the premise, I couldn't resist being interested. Basically, it's a murder mystery told by the murdered girl from beyond the grave, and apparently it's right down Peter Jackson's alley. Consider just how great Heavenly Creatures was, and how good Jackson is with special effects, and this should be a home run come awards season, but I don't know how it'll do at the box office.
