When a movie is released in both 3-D and normal film, that makes it lot easier to make this sort of money considering it's almost 15 bucks a ticket for 3-D. Some people also will go out and see it in both 3-D and normal film. It is even going to be available in IMAX. Not to knock on Mr. Cameron but with this variety of the movie present, making money is a lot easier. I wouldn't be surprised to see it pull in $2-2.5 Billion when all is said and done.

but people buy less 3D tickets to compensate

1 Avatar Fox $352,114,898
2 Up BV $293,004,164
3 Monsters Vs. Aliens P/DW $198,351,526
4 Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Fox $196,573,705
5 A Christmas Carol (2009) BV $137,443,917
that's the top 5 domestic 3D movies. None of them have come close do doing anything noteworthy as far as box office receipts go, except Avatar.
I suspect that the gap between #1 and #2 will make your argument even more ridiculous in the coming weeks
