“Avatar” kept its hold on the top spot in the domestic box office as it passed the $2 billion mark in worldwide gross, according to Box Office Mojo, a Web site that tracks box-office revenues.

The movie also continued to close in on one of the few box-office records it has not yet attained — all-time biggest domestic gross, which is still held by “Titanic.”

The weekend marked the seventh-straight weekend that “Avatar” was number one at the box office.

“Avatar” continues to draw still-solid audiences in the Sacramento region, though much smaller than the sold-out shows during its first few weeks. The blockbuster is showing at seven theaters in the Sacramento region.

On the all-time domestic gross list, “Avatar” has pulled in $595 million, second to “Titanic’s” $600.8 million, which “Avatar” should pass this weekend.

“Avatar” also climbed the list of all-time domestic grosses, taking inflation into account. The movie was 26th on that list last week and 21st this week. To break into the top 20, “Avatar” will need to pass Disney’s “Fantasia,” which has an adjusted gross of $619.5 million.
