The online blogger, who regularly hits headlines for his controversial celebrity gossip, said that despite the film claiming huge box office figures in other countries, it has wasted money in the States.
Hilton wrote on his website: "There's $500 million (£311 million) shot to hell! The most expensive movie ever made has FAILED at the box office.
"James Cameron's Avatar raked in a mere $73 million (£45 million) in its opening weekend here in the states. To put that into perspective for you - New Moon earned $73 million (£45 million) in it's FIRST DAY of release, pulling in $125 million (£78 million) domestically over it's opening weekend."
Avatar has achieved a worldwide debut of $260 million (£162 million).
Hilton has previously been described by New York Magazine as "Hollywood's leading box-office prognosticator".
