Avatar Box Office Record Falls to Soft-Core 3-D Flick

Move over, Jake Sully. 3-D Sex & Zen: Extreme Ecstacy -- the "the first stereoscopic 3-D erotica from Hong Kong" -- grossed 2.78 million Hong Kong dollars on its opening day last week, breaking the record held by Avatar for single-day opening gross in Hong Kong. "We met people's expectations," said producer Stephen Shiu. "People have always thought that you need 3-D technology for this kind of content. So people were very curious." James Cameron would be proud. [NPR]
