With $1.14 billion worldwide and counting, Avatar has now overtaken the $1.1 billion raked in by 2003&#8217;s The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King to become the second-highest-grossing film in history.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Avatar is going so strong that what once seemed an out-of-this-world impossibility now seems within the realm of (virtual) reality. If the 20th Century Fox movie, which screens in both 2-D and 3-D formats, keeps up its current pace, it could catch the $1.8 billion in global ticket sales tallied by the Oscar-winning filmmaker&#8217;s own Titanic.<\/p>\n<p>If that wasn&#8217;t enough (and it never is in Tinseltown), Fox&#8217;s FX cable network has reportedly paid upward of $25 million for the TV rights to Avatar, which will premiere in 2012.
