With Avatar's re-release in roughly 57 iMAX theaters across the US over the weekend, Avatar's earnings shot up 50.3% from last weekend, and it is continuing to make more money as the week rolls along. On Monday and Tuesday alone (Mar 19-20) Avatar has had a 37.4% increase from last week thanks to the added number of theaters it received - which proves my earlier post. Avatar is still in high demand, it just doesn't have the theaters screens.

Avatar has a better chance of reaching $3b now that theaters are taking Avatar back in as other movies begin to fall out (Shutter Island, Alice in Wonderland, etc), and an even better chance of hitting $3b considering James Cameron has plans on re-releasing Avatar sometime in August:
James Cameron: The 'Avatar' sequel will dive into the oceans of Pandora | Hero Complex | Los Angeles Times

JC: We’re working on finishing an additional six minutes of the film -- which includes a lot of Weta work -- for a theatrical re-release in August.
[...]
Clearly, it wasn’t market forces directly; it was the availability of theaters. So we’re going to wait until there’s a time to come back in, inject the new footage into the mix and see if we can interest people in the “Avatar” experience in theaters.
