It will break $1.5, but most like it won't break 2 and if it does, it'll be $2.1 or $2.2 final. Cameron has literally nothing to worry about.

What the fuck does James Cameron have to do with this? Gone With The Wind still holds the record. Now please, let your bullshit excuses commence.

It's probably already at 10 billion on the first day.

Avatar is a perfectly executed simple story, like Star Wars is meant to be. You don't like the story, but the execution is still perfect.

Yeah, no. Check the numbers with inflation adjustment.

That's literally what Reddit says in order to knock down Big Jim. Maybe don't make movies for people in the depression. Inflation is already adjusted IRL anyways and Jim is still 1 and 2

Avatar? I dont remember it? Was it a movie?

It's estimated to have done 140 million and it has not opened in USA and China won't open until January. 2 billion won't be that hard.

Keep holding on to your precious Gone with the Wind just a little bit longer, anon. Avatar will probably get a re-release just before the new movie or Titanic is maybe going to be in the theaters again on its 20 or 25 year anniversary and then the adjusted for inflation record will be gone as well.

Actually no movie has made as much money as Jim Cameron's Avatar. Second is Jim Cameron's Titanic.

>>63753741
Adjusted for inflation.

Highest-grossing films adjusted for inflation
Rank Title Worldwide gross (2014 $)
1 Gone with the Wind $3,440,000,000
2 Avatar $3,020,000,000
3 Star Wars $2,825,000,000

That's crazy impressive considering that when Gone with the Wind was showing World Wide basically meant US+Western Europe

Yes you can adjust for many things. Might as well talk about the price of tea on China. But no movie has made as much pure cash as Avatar or Titanic. It is listed as the highest grossing movie of all time and that can not be disputed. Thanks for the replies though gents. I'm going to to hit the gym
>>
>>63753829
But also slightly different because TV, other forms of entertainment and piracy didn't exist. People went to the cinema far more than they do now. Still insanely impressive obviously, and since tickets were so much cheaper then the number of tickets sold must be crazy.
>>
Avatar was shit

It's adjusted for inflation you dumb cunt. The price of tickets has been adjusted for.
>>
>>63753893
No, Avatar 'is' shit

Avatar 'was' absolutely breathtaking and the most incredible thing most people had seen at the time.

>>63753885

Kek, the level of bullshit is insurmountable

>>63753838
>money isn't money

Try again Avafaggot

>>63753918

So incredible that no one remembers or cares about it. It was a 3D gimmick and nothing more.
>>
Reminder that TFA is also the most heavily marketed film of ALL TIME.

They spent $300 million just on marketing it.

That means it has to earn MORE than Jurassic World to make back the same amount of money.
>>
>>63753913
I meant relatively tickets were cheaper, that's the real reason most of the big box office successes are recent despite lower numbers of people going to the cinema in general. Avatar in particular cheated by being more expensive due to 3d.
>>
>>63753885
By this logic the highest grossing movies ever made would be some shit from Zimbabwe that made 100 trillion dollars.
>>
>>63753951
Avatar was shilled like no other movie at the time it came out.

Avatar got barely anyone through the doors in the first 2 weeks you dolt. Its success was almost entirely due to word of mouth.

Due to it's 3D gimmick. Certainly wasn't it's story or plot. It was pretty to look at but not much else.

Yeah, the legs are incredibly. TFA will probably get BTFO on its 3rd weekend already, just like Jurassic World.

>>63754139
It's a scientific term.

I haven't watched Avatar but Cameron and all Cameronfags belong in the gas chamber solely for unleashing the 3D meme again on all fucking cinemas and now 2D is literally not even standard anymore and you have to find a cinema that still has it.

I mean I don't go to the cinema but holy fuck what is wrong with you fucking stupid pieces of shit I watched one 3D movie and it made me sick and looked like shit, how the fuck can anyone tolerate this, holy shit, fucking cameronfags

not only was Avatar not shilled that hard, most of the shilling it got was after release when it was clear that it was a hit and wouldn't just taper off after a couple of weeks.

it's literally the opposite of a film like TFA.
