Disney's The Princess and the Frog slipped to second, with $12.2m (£7.6m).

Drama The Blind Side dropped to three while the Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker romantic comedy Did You Hear About the Morgans? came in at four.

The top five was rounded off by The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Avatar - set in the 22nd Century on a distant planet, Pandora, inhabited by a humanoid race - reportedly cost up to $400m (£248.2m) to make and market.
