Sigourney Weaver arrives at the 2010 César ceremony. Weaver was there to present the Honorary Cesar to Harrison Ford, her co-star in Mike Nichols' 1988 romantic comedy-drama Working Girl, with Melanie Griffith. Weaver received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for that movie. She can currently be seen on French screens in James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar.
Last weekend, Avatar became the #14 all-time hit in France's box-office history — after David Lean's 1957 Oscar-winning war drama The Bridge on the River Kwai. By the end of its run, Avatar is expected to be among the France's top ten box-office hits ever. Unlike Hollywood studios, which rely on (inflatable) dollar figures, many other countries rely on the number of tickets a movie has sold.
