This movie was pirated over 900,000 times in 2 days, yet its profits were enormous. In a sense, Cameron completely destroyed piracy for at least, this movie, because everyone is going to see it multiple times in theaters.

Oh I'm not baiting you... Piracy makes Movies millions and millions of more money, 'net profit income... It has been proven, in courts.. biggest pirated movies, pre-leaked movies, etc... are some of the biggest movies to ever released.
More tickets sold, more movies to sale, more people to buy a mixture of movies, more mixtures being sold, more fans created than ever, more everything... all after 'net piracy took off.
Other than re-stamped and sold as the org product, piracy.. that shit is bad. "Online" Piracy, duplicated content of an Org.. is Marketing and More Exposure. 10's of millions of more people, an extreme amount more fans, millions that never heard of the movie finding it, talking about it, getting more people to buy it...
People always go see movies more than once in theaters, Avatar isn't special because of that. Even bad movies, have people that watch them twice in theaters.

Even if Avatar produces more Money, it will not sell more Tickets than Titanic, and that's how you really know if it did better.
Remember, Avatar costs TWICE what Titanic did... and it's still going to have trouble passing it, IF it passes it.

If Titanic was released today, it would dwarf Avatar, not only because the movie is better but because it could be pirated.
