Avatar conquers all before it
Avatar dominated the Christmas box office, with 20th Century Fox launching it on 303 screens. In a canny piece of counter-programming aimed at people not too bothered about beautifully rendered CGI blue aliens, Entertainment opened the second St Trinian's movie on 428 screens to secure a good second spot.
