>800mill in on week
Has another movie ever done so?
And now everyone who was going to see it has seen it. It will crack just a little over a billion then fade into obscurity.
James Cameron will kill himself. No one cares about Avatar 2.
I hope he comes with an original story and blow away Star Wars as the highest grossing movie ever.
The hype will die after the year ends. It isn't going to reach 2B
>>64097351
James Cameron should just do episode 9
>>64097320
>star wars
>fade into obscurity
I sometimes wonder if you people actually believe the shit you write.
>>64097379
That would actually be pretty cool
>>64097415
>Fade in obscurity
Are you sure you aren't talking about Avatar?
way to go, jews
Reminder that so far TFA is doing better than Avatar.
sets a shitty precedent for "soft reboots"
We're going to to see a lot more of this in the near future I'm sure.
>>64097503
>2:40
it was such a boring movie
by the time they star singing around that stupid fucking three I was ripping my eyeballs off
it was such a shit movie
>>64097415
If TFA is considered a good movie 3 years later from now, it will last. If not, then it's sitting next to Bane Rises.
>>64097536
Creed and SW7 were both good though and showed Reboots work when done correctly
Why is /tv/ all pro avatar now?
>>64097594
Because we're contrarian faggots
Look how much we shit on the prequels before TFA came out.
It came out and was a solid 8/10 other than the rushed deathstar and nostalgia, and now we pretend that the prequels were good other than sheev and ewan, and we cheer on avatar.
/tv/ is a shit board full of contrarian hipsters. Myself included.
>>64097503
reminder that domestic numbers mean shit compared to international. Fucking orphan piece of shit.
>>64097244
Captain Phasma sucked.
>>64097727
Speak for yourself, reddit.
>>64097727
It came out and was a solid 8/10
more like 6.99/10 corporate garbage
>>64097547
Tdkr > TDK desu
>>64097727
>8/10
>no standards
manchild confirmed
>>64097756
Anybody got the Phasma version?
>>64097727
>contrarian
Just fuck back off to /v/
>>64097843
>>64097750
Sorry, the Phasma version of this
>>64097244
And it's showing in more theaters, yet constantly having less people view it every day.
Brainless action flick that they spent so much money on has succeeded in doing one thing: Selling toys and marketing rights. That's all it is. Story might as well been written by a high schooler.
>>64097244
>>64097915
Just got some fries, mind sharing a bit of all that salt?
>A billion in 3 days
Step it up, Hollywood.
I honestly don't mind if they release a movie per year but I really want more tv shows
Movies can only keep you busy for 2 hours, tv shows can entertain you for weeks or even months
Avatar was a neat little standalone development and people were really keen on the RealD technology (it got raving reviews and had James Cameron at the helm).
But why the hell are they doing Avatar 2? Literally no one cares about those characters or the universe, it was a vehicle for the technology. Avatar 2 will shit the bed, I don't understand why they would try to franchise it.
>>64097244
It's still to come out in China, the country where it matters.
>>64098253
And it will do well there. It's sci-fi just like Avatar.
>>64098024
One costs six times the other to consume desu senpai
>>64097320
Thats not even kind of true. I know plenty of people who are waiting for the hype to die down a bit so they don't have to stand in lines to see it. Nobody in my family has seen it yet, and they all want to. While I agree that its not going to keep raking in this much money that fast, its nowhere near dead.
>>64097802
Some neckbeard's isolated opinion doesn't cut it. It has to be a consensus.
TDK stands as a good comic book movie because it's equally good as a standalone as well as part of a greater story arch. The money itself is just money, no amount of advertising or hype now will save TFA if it's considered crap a couple years from now.
>>64098288
in korea and japan it flopped it did not even reach the top you pathetic social excriment
>>64098760
Oh I didn't realize those were China. I thought we were talking about China.
>>64098024
Didn't GTA V had literally a production budget of 1B+, not counting marketing? Different market, different logic behind the product.
And this is with no China. Some might say well China doesn't like Star Wars, but just wait, I'll bet they flip for it.
>>64098787
Why do you think it will do well in China? Star Wars was never big in China. Star Wars does way better in Japan than it does in China and TFA flopped in Japan.
>>64099016
I'd like to see your citation for it flopping in Japan.
>>64099062
literally check boxofficemojo you stupid fuck. It got beaten by a literal anime movie of a series that isn't even two years old.
>/tv/ still in the bargaining stage with TFA and movie goers
It's okay.
Your king is dead.
THE CITY OF DAVID CAMERON
>>64097379
>James Cameron directs a star wars movie
>Sales tax from DVD sales alone wipes out entire US deficit
>>64098799
they had ~125m for development and ~125m for marketing.
>>64097244
Monday was 500+ million world wide and now it's 800+.
This shit's going to beat Titanic at least.
>>64097594
People started this meme about reddit hating Avatar so now it is the greatest movie ever.
>>64097750
literally into the garbage.
The only people who actually believe TFA will outgross Titanic at this point are the ones who have no more box office insight than "LOOK IT'S MAKING A LOT OF MONEY FAST"
>>64097547
>If TFA is considered a good movie 3 years later from now, it will last. If not, then it's sitting next to Bane Rises.
Go outside. No one has forgotten or will forget TDKR.
>>64099600
Then explain to my retarded brain why it won't outgross it despite making so much money like no one ever before.
>>64097320
Shit man, I've seen it twice already with a few mates, and my dad respectively. My mum still wants to see it and will probably get me to go with her, and one of my best friends has yet to see it so I imagine he'll drag me too. I might end up seeing the fucker 4 or 5 times before it leaves theaters and even discounting all the people who are waiting for the rush to die down to watch the movie there'll be loads like me who end up seeing it more than once for one reason or another. This train's gonna keep on chuggin'.
>episode 3 and even fucking episode 2 had better openings in Japan and South Korea than TFA
>>64099818
And those markets barely matter at all.
>>64099869
Oh, now the Asian markets don't matter?
>>64097351
I don't even care for Cameron but I'd love if he could outgross avatar. Very unlikely unless he somehow revolutionizes smell-o-vision this time.
>>64099895
China matters. Those don't.
>TFA has already made more than AotC and nearly as much as RotS
>>64099697
because not everyone in the world gives a shit about your gay star saga. It's NOT EVEN a good movie
>>64099923
Star Wars has flopped in China in regards to every single movie release. No Star Wars movie in china has surpassed 10 million lifetime gross. Why are you convinced that it will suddenly make hundreds of millions?
>>64100050
Well no shit, this movie has Disney levels of marketing. Anybody who thought this wouldn't make a shit ton of money is retarded.
>>64097503
It's going to hit 1b by the end of the weekend.
>Mom wants to see TFA
>Take her out to it and pretend to be excited because she is my mother and deserves to feel happy
>Its alright other then Darth Teenage Angst
>Mom loved it and wont shut up about how much fun she had
Its the first time she has seemed normal since dad died so I guess the movie was alright.
>>64100122
>marketing
>mattering for star wars
>implying the prequels weren't peddled just as much as the force awakens
>>64100581
They weren't but you're free to try and prove other wise.
Also you're an idiot if you think Disney having the reigns over its marketing had no effect on the movies success.
>>64100286
How do you two feel aboutHan dying?
Some domestic stats:
It took Avatar three weeks to accumulate the box office revenue that TFA has accumulated in one week.
On day seven, TFA has brought in $393M domestically where Avatar only brought in a total of $137M on its seventh day.
>>64097727
>>64100929
And? Nobody is denying that TFA is doing better domestically.
>>64100977
If you're hoping that it's doing weaker internationally means something, then I've got some ching chong gong kwong for you (bad news)
>>64100997
Oh?
>>64101034
It hasn't opened in China yet.
I'm pretty interested in seeing the legs on this thing, it pretty much has all of January to soak up money on top of it being released in China before any other big titles come out.
>>64101057
>B-but it will do bad in China!
Even if it underperforms in China it's overperformance in every other large market will make up for it.
>>64101057
Maybe you should read the thread and learn about why it likely won't do nearly as well in China as you assume it will.
>>64101093
>waaaaaaaah stop liking staaaar waaaaaaaars
>it'll do bad in china waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>64099799
why would you spend literally 50+ dollars on a completely mediocre movie?
>>64101117
Nice argumentative fallacy, do you have an actual retort now or are you going to shitpost like a baby?
>>64097244
It still hasn't made as much as Jurassic World and it never will.
>>64101148
Ahahahahaha
keep crying you fucking baby
NERD FIGHT
>>64101161
It's well on track to beat it.
>>64101148
Oooh, he uses references to fallacies on a Aztec chicken gut picture forum! Watch out!
>>64101093
Screencapped. /tv/ will have a thread called "Remember this faggot?" on January 9.
>>64097594
>now
Aloha, Reddit!
>>64101203
I don't know. It is literally Reddit: the movie, with a special /r/shitredditsays fempire subplot.
>Jurassic World
>>64100088
Disney will make it happen. Don't underestimate the power of Mickey Mouse.
>>64097756
From my point of view, you are reddit.
>>64101333
Trips confirms that he is reddit. As for China, you can't compare the other Star Wars movies to this one because Disney is the one shilling it. By the time Disney gets done shilling this movie to China those gooks will think that watching it will make their cocks grow.
>>64101231
Reddit hates it, though.
So objectively it can't be Reddit.
>>64101201
See you in two weeks, faggot

>Muslim Jedi beats the bad guy
>Muslim Jedi blows up the ship
>Allahu Akbar as he flies away in triumph
>pessimistic contrarian friendless shitters so desperate for something, ANYTHING to criticize, that all they can think to come up with is "i-it'll do bad in china!"
i honestly can't think of anything sadder than this. and then they'll try and deflect with "i-i'm just meming bro, it's just a joke.." like it isn't transparent how absolutely miserable they are. All because they don't like a fun popular movie.
>>64101410
How do you know that, faggot?
Also why do you care

this is the future /tv/, endless blockbusters which break meaningless records which you would gladly defend for 3 months until a better one comes out
>>64102068
So 2009, abatap and green ovals
>>64097594
>Why is /tv/ all pro avatar now?
fucktards who get their opinions from South Park, that episode with Cameron in this case
>>64100973
how did this leave out baneposting
>>64097320
should come close to 2 billion total gross
but won't even come close to avatar's world cume
still not bad
Regardless of box office Star Wars is still going to make more because it's got the merchandise game on lock in a way Avatar never could.
>>64097594
>now
Welcome to /tv/ haha I remember my first time here. Lots of memes dude so kick back and enjoy some of the dankest of the dankest fresh memes. Lmao senpai.

>>64102782
I'm waiting for the Twi'lek head tentacle dildo.
Any predictions for this weekend?
I'm say it's gunning for $150mil tops and just like the weather in the Northeast, pushing for the high 60's just for today.
>>64097276
No, this is going to be the fastest movie to a billion.
It's also got the highest domestic and highest foreign gross for a movie at this same point in time.
>>64099397
llooll
>>64099697
1. no universal appeal
2. nothing original technically
Titanic and Avatar meet both these criteria.
>>64103010
>Avatar
>not technically original
Confirmed for underage redditor who has never seen it in 3D in cinema.
>>64103010
It's gonna be a long couple months for ya huh senpai.
>>64097733
I thought movies take a much larger cut of domestic sales.
>>64102797
They are going to make a cast of John Boyega's cock and make them into dildos. I will be buying it when it comes out.
