Not that guy but there is far more nostalgia driven hype behind Star Wars than Jurassic World and considering the movie just came out and it's already breaking pre-sale and opening records, I think it's fairly safe to say that because word of mouth is good for it, it'll be the highest grossing movie of the year.

And it will be 4th highest grossing movie of all time once TFA finishes it's run. It's already tracking to be the biggest oppening of all time.

It won't top Jurassic World because the ching chongs fucking loved Jurassic World and they no likey star wars + it's the month where foreign imports are banned there so they can't even watch a non-bootlegged version until next year.

He's right, there's no established audience for Star Wars in China because the originals premiered when the government banned all western media.

They tried re-releasing them in the 90s and again recently but the audience reception was tepid (the prequels were released at the same time as they were domestically however).

It'll pull solid numbers over there, but well below Jurassic World and the capeshit they seem to love. If it were allowed to screen there we would have gotten extremely early telesyncs/screeners like we did with Jurassic World / Avengers, etc as most massive blockbusters get a China release first nowadays.

Or are the $1.8+ going to marketing? Why are jews such fucking jews?

I really don't understand the whole "30 fps feels cinematic". I haven't seen Hobbit so I can't really judge that but I have no doubt in my mind there's a way to make it look good. I think it's more to do with the fact that you won't be able to get away with sloppy sequences anymore because cutting frames when something is running at 30 is much less noticeable then if it's running at 2 or 4 times that.

>>63783985

>>
>>63784191
I kind of doubt that. Mostly because of oversaturation of media in general and also Star Wars as a brand.

>>63784267
As sad as this is I'm pretty sure it peaked in 1999, financially speaking.

>>63782362
Who actually cares about Avatar 2

Avatar made all It's money on spectacle

I'd be suprised If Avatar 2 gets far past $1bn worldwide
>>
>>63783598
Things to keep in mind:

Disney paid $4 billion for the rights to Star Wars

$200 million is the production costs, all costs involved in the movie are about $450 million

The producers only get about ~50% of revenue made from a movie at the box office

Now this is not to say that TFA isn't going to make Disney an absolute fuckton of money, and we aren't even considering merchandise which has consistently made more money than the actual movies, but It's not as simple as invest $200 million, receive $1.8 billion in profit
>>
>>63784530
you realize that Avatar 2 will be that next spectacle movie people are waiting for because every movie after Avatar still has shit CGI and 3d.
>>
>>63784746
If that's the case why are they releasing Avatar 3 right after Avatar 2

It'll have been 8 years since Avatar when Avatar 2 comes out so maybe it will make some technological lead forward and people will flock to see the shiny new graphics

But avatar 3 comes out the year after avatar 2

Cameron has deluded himself into thinking people care about Dances with Wolves in space

Too be honest It'd probably make more money If he just made another original movie instead of sequels to Avatar. Everyone knows who Cameron is, everyone knows what movies he's made. An original by Cameron is more intriguing than a sequel to Avatar.

They've proven they're willing to operate at a loss to push their agenda. Interracial porn for example isn't profitable, like at all, they LOSE money making it, but Jewish porn moguls still spend millions of dollars to produce it because it fits their agenda.

Interracial is on par with bestiality, the fact that most actresses refuse it is proof.

Actresses will demand hundreds of thousands of dollars to be in a 1hr scene with a black, not because of penis size, but because its fucking degrading.

You'll never meet a white girl who wants black children, they want a white man to fill em to the brim jim and have aryan children.

>>63781929
That's the difference.

People on Reddit will criticize Cameron's movies for being unoriginal and in the very next breath will go on to praise every Marvel movie as quality filmmaking.

I'm speaking as someone who isn't even a big Avatar fan. It's not that great of a movie, but for people to rip it and then praise even less-original, more bland trash is absurd.
