Perez Hilton has declared that Avatar is a box office failure in the States.

Hilton has made his name as a controversial blogger who hits the headlines and rubs stars up the wrong way for his controversial gossip.

And it seems that James Cameron's Avatar is now in his firing line.

He wrote on his website: "There's $500 million (£311 million) shot to hell! The most expensive movie ever made has FAILED at the box office.

"James Cameron's Avatar raked in a mere $73 million (£45 million) in its opening weekend here in the states.

"To put that into perspective for you - New Moon earned $73 million (£45 million) in it's FIRST DAY of release, pulling in $125 million (£78 million) domestically over it's opening weekend."

The movie has opened with great critical support and currently sits at number one  on both sides of the Atlantic.

So far it has grossed over $285 million at the global box office, ninth largest opening-weekend gross of all time.

The film has taken director James Cameron years to complete and is rumoured to be the first in a trilogy of movies.
