When this happens we will see James Cameron with both the #1 and #2 all-time grossing movies.  The other?  It was Titanic back in 1997, which earned $2 billion.  However, the movie is also losing all kinds of money due to online piracy methods according to Torrent Freak.  It’s believed that around the first week there were around 900,000 downloads of the movie.

Can you imagine if each one of those downloads had one, two, or maybe entire families going to the theaters instead?  It might be safe to say that Titanic would already be in jeopardy of its long standing mark, but either way Cameron is still #1.
