Our eyes are on Pandora for today’s Geo Quiz. Pandora is the setting for the science-fiction movie “Avatar.”

This country has 11 time zones — with an estimated 1300 movie screens. And Avatar sounds like THIS over there… What language can you hear there — other than the fictional Na’vi?

And which country ranks third after France and Germany in international ticket sales for Avatar?

That’s for you to ponder and for us to reveal in just a bit…

Geo Answer:
The movie Avatar is not the best-selling film ever — YET. But the 3D science fiction blockbuster has already broken one box-office record. Avatar is now the fastest movie ever to reach ONE BILLION DOLLARS in ticket sales worldwide.

It took just 17 days. US ticket sales account for about a third of Avatar’s success. The rest comes from overseas. So far France is the top international market. The movie has raked in more than 85 million dollars in ticket sales there. Next is Germany. An THIRD is the country we asked you to name in our Geo Quiz today.

Allan Cullison reports in the Wall Street Journal today that — in less than 3 weeks — Avatar has become the most successful movie ever in.

Russia…The answer to our Geo Quiz.
