Forbes: Avatar’s record is disputable

Tuesday marked the day in which James Cameron surpassed his own movie, Titanic, which 12 years ago became the movie with the highest returns of all time. Now Avatar was designated the king of box office, but the Forbes revue doesn’t agree with this performance of the 3D movie, taking into consideration the inflation, it isn’t by far the movie with the highest returns.
