LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Avatar” dominates the box office again with a $36 million weekend.

No. 1 for the sixth-straight weekend, Cameron’s sci-fi spectacle lifted its domestic total to $552.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Worldwide, 20th Century Fox’s “Avatar” raised its total to $1.840 billion, just $2 million shy of first place behind Cameron’s last movie, the 1997 shipwreck blockbuster “Titanic,” at $1.843 billion.

Screen Gems’ apocalyptic thriller “Legion,” starring Paul Bettany as a fallen angel, took flight in the No. 2 spot with $18.2 million. Warner Bros. held the No. 3 position with “The Book of Eli” at $17 million in its second week. Fox’s family fantasy comedy “Tooth Fairy” debuted at No. 4 with $14.5 million.
