How did he do it?
>>63004580
He sold his soul.
Titanic is the ultimate chick flick and Avatar did extremely well overseas because it gave people who live in shit countries the ultimate escapism. Cameron truly is a money making genius.
>>63004580
autistic passion for his artistic vision, mate
Why is there a cross next to Jurassic World and Minions? Are they dead?
>>63004665
still in theaters
>>63004580
They will never beat gone with the wind
>>63004628
>Titanic is the ultimate chick flick
Gotta be more than that. What's the second highest chick flick? Titanic must have tapped into something for men as well. In my opinion, it's just damned good.
>>63004580
Good marketing? The list doesn't have very good movies, the only deciding factor between them is marketing and hype.
Two reasons.
Audiences were still enamoured with 3D back in 2009. And ticket prices are basically five times what they were back in the 80s.
Actually what's more impressive is the fact older movies like Star Wars ended up grossing as much as they did. Granted they were in theaters for much longer, but the fact remains that the ticket prices were far lower.
>>63004699
Good. My favorite.
>>63004719
The men got to tap the chicks after they took them to see that shit.
>>63004699
I'm glad since it's one of my favorite movies.
>>63004719
Men were tricked into watching it because of the sinking boat. I saw this movie in the theater when I was a little kid thinking I was gonna watch a disaster/survival movie.
holy shit i didn't know Jurassic world made that much money
>>63004719
Titanic has good scenes, yes.
The shoe-horned love story kills it for men everywhere.
>>63004799
I didn't mind when I was 14. Now I realize Jack never should have had more than a fling with Rose. Leaving the boat with her, maybe, but certainly not killing himself over her.
>d-do m-me this honor
>>63004864
I'm still surprised by how much Jaws made. I can understand the rest but Jaws was unexpected.
>>63004967
it was an event. I remember my Dad told me everyone watched it like similarly to Jurassic Park
>>63004967
Really? Jaws was the first summer film, and Spielberg always pleased crowds.
The one I don't understand is Doctor Zhivago.
>>63004791
Yep, and there are retards on here who think episode 7 will do better than JW. Disney's stock lowered thanks to battlefront coming out last week and not doing as well as they expected. Everyone knows of the franchise, but not everyone gives a shit
>>63005046
>Spielberg always pleased crowds
it's his 2nd film, Duel is for TV, the 1st is completely forgotten
>>63004864
Based Ten Commandments, greatest film in the world
>>63005071
Star Wars is big in the states but its just a nerd thing outside of the US.
Plus us English hate stuff forced down our throats and we can't look further than a water bottle to see 'star wars'
>>63005311
Yep, that's why the original grossed over a billion from foreign box office.
>>63004580
>Minions
>10th
I hate this world
Wow, a list of movies that parents take their kids too more often than other movies that parents take their kids to. Such an accomplishment; what a great director.
>>63005957
exactly,nerd
>>63005957
That's why Episode 7 is going to be such a big blunder. I'm sure they'll keep it hidden from the marketing but once word spreads that there's a disgusting black man in a central role no one outside of the kekked west is going to see this thing.
>>63005185
Duel is highly underrated
>>63006089
Well memed, /b/rother.

>lucked out when people were still going to the cinema

>when people were still going to the cinema
The majority of those are 2010 and on.
>>63006146
The numbers will speak for themselves, kid. Sorry if your feelings get hurt by reality. Expect people who haven't been brainwashed by years of propaganda to watch a black in a movie and you may as well be asking them to eat a meal with a large turd in the middle of the plate.
>>63004719
It was in theaters for fucking months where I lived and everywhere around it
>>63006206
>tired /pol/ memes
Yawn. It's going to sleepwalk to at least $2 billion.
>>63004580
marketing is the only true answer
Catering to the lowest common denominator
>>63006242
That's an effect of people going to see it, not a cause.
>>63006246
be hilarious if it doesn't. What would be your excuse
>>63007364
Don't need one, because it will.

>>63004580
Because he made The Terminator 1 and 2.
>>63004580
He cheated, and re-released or kept the films in theaters for almost a year.
>>63007364
Fast and furious made billions by the way
Most if not all the members are black and have black traits

you think no one else has tried that?
>>63007575
lol
fast and furious had the chav crowd watching it. Doubt that'll be the same for Star Wars
It wont even beat Avengers 2
>>63007661
I was born 1997 23 nov
>>63007454
You're not refuting anything. No one is trying to claim GWTW made more per year, just more overall. And that is objectively true.
>>63007708
>Im not a teenager, Im 18!!
>people legitimately think TFA will beat even Titanic, let alone Avatar
When will these manchildren learn there is only one person that can make numbers like that happen?
>>63004593
It's true. I suspect he is a consultant on some of the bigger psyops, like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
>>63007683
I have this theory that the Devil will only come to those who TRULY mean it. Like 100% that you will sell it and not go running to the first church after you meet him.
>>63007769
The same time manchildren will stop trying to claim Avatar was a good movie.
>Tomorrow in 25 months, Avatar 2 will be released
>Battle Angel also in the works with Jim producing
:3
>>63007769
It's similiar to 1999 when they said Phantom Menace will certainly beat Titanic. Fucking retards.
>>63007769
>Cameron became an expert on deep-sea exploration in conjunction with his research and underwater filming for The Abyss (1989) and Titanic (1997). In June 2010, Cameron met in Washington with the EPA to discuss possible solutions to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (BP) oil spill. Later that week at the All Things Digital Conference, he attracted some notoriety when he stated, "Over the last few weeks I've watched...and been thinking, 'Those morons don't know what they're doing'." Reportedly, Cameron had offered BP help to plug the oil well, but it declined. The oil spill was eventually stopped using techniques similar to those Cameron recommended.
Fun fact: account for inflation star wars, alone, grossed 3 billion. That's why disney thinks they've got a surefire hit on their hands.
It makes me happy knowing that capeshit is no longer in the top 3
>>63008823
no it dont, pal
>>63004864
read thread next time you choose to post a "fact"
>>63004580
Holy shit, there's exactly one great movie on that list. People are shit.
>>63005046
Isn't Zhivago an epic?
I've been putting off watching it for the longest time.
>>63004864
where's the adjusted for a saturated, quick turn around market graph?
>>63004719
Watching a giant boat get its shit fucked up
>>63004755
this. total pussy bait.
>>63008895
775 million in 1977 is equal to 3 billion today.
>>63008920
There are actually at least 3
>>63004580
avatar was the first big 3d movie
that's how
>Minions
JUST
>>63008940
Apparently. I've done the same. Romantic war epic. Sounds like my kind of movie.
>>63008823
It's pretty funny considering how each of the prequel movies made less than a third of that
>>63009066
I was 4 when it came out and that was the coolest thing to me. You might be right.
>>63004580
>Jurassic World
>Furious 7
>Avengers Ultron
>Minions
How come 2015 was such a "good" year for high-grossing flicks?
>>63009155
No.
>>63009294
They're all very popular franchises + dead actor hype.
>>63004580

Yeah the scene where she shows her tits. Did you not watch the movie befor making this post? It was a PG-13 movie with tits.
>>63004580

>>63004580
How does that list change if you remove the ticket price increase for 3D gimmicks?
>>63004580
Abatap
>>63008202
Based as fuck.
>>63004580
He makes movies that the populace demands instead of doing what pleases him. He makes movies for comsumption, not for appreciation of the medium.
Cameron wants to be the new De Mille, but unfortunately, he can't direct his way out of a paperbag.
>>63009727
A James Cameron movie is still the highest grossing movie of all time.
How did he do it?
