...other returning film in this week's top 10 saw at least twice as big a drop - the Avatar avalanche will continue for another few weeks. The only dents Cameron suffered this week were to his pride: Avatar lost the top awards given out by the directors' and producers' guild to the Iraq-war drama The Hurt Locker, directed by Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow.

Nine, which was eligible for five Globes and won none, is the season's biggest box-office disappointment: just $18.1 million on an $80 million budget.
