Will Robert Pattinson knock “Avatar” of the top of the box office when he debuts his new film “Remember Me”?

That is what studio heads are hoping for as “Remember me” is set to debut.

“Avatar” has become the highest grossing film of all time and seems set to reign at the box office. Director James Cameron once famously described d himself as “King of the world,” but can RPatz and his star power dethrone the king?

The Pattinson star power may mean that “Remember Me” becomes the first movie to top “Avatar.”

The movie is about a strained relationship between a father, played by Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, and his son Tyler, played by Pattinson.

Speaking of his role Pattinson has said: "I think what, in a lot of ways, the film means to me is really about just Tyler’s journey. I mean I connected to it in a very personal way, and what I really thought was interesting was it chronicles a time in a young guy’s life ...  I don’t know if it would really happen to a girl as well ...  where you, you begin to trust your own feelings.

“If you like someone, like Tyler does in the movie or, you know, if you’re sad or anything, you start to trust your own mind a little bit more. And there’s very few movies that specifically deal with that."

I did not like Remember Me..At first, i was not even sure what happened at the end..the figured it was the Twin Towers...If they were going to do that, they should have used real footage of the plane hitting the Tower...I was disappointed in the whole of the movie...

Quite so, Alley Cat. And Dear John had knocked it off before this "story" was even posted. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

You guys at Irish Central should take your meds on a daily basis instead of once in a while. Maybe if you did a little research before writing this fiction you'd know the movie Dear John has already knocked Avatar out of the top stop at the box office. Why don't you write a story about why you hate Rob so much?

I think it's absolutley ridiculous to compare Rob's movie {not even yet seen] to James Cameron's work. The hype is really getting so out of control with the media that I'm so turned off by this guy already. I no longer think he is handsome, he's got e weird face, and only at certain angles does he look good. But James Dean he is not. That is blasphemy.

Erm? Do you have an internet connection? Dear John has already knocked Avatar off the top spot. See: http://boxofficemojo.com/ for confirmation. God, this site just gets more and more hopeless every day.
