It's sitting at $1.3 million worldwide. Pretend TFA in China made 300 million. So that's $1.6 million worldwide. I highly doubt it would make more than 400 due to rips online and the long waiting period.

Avatar sits at $2.7 million worldwide, unadjusted, so it'll be very difficult, if not impossible.

If adjusted, TFA can end itself.

How come Avatar made so much money? Is it because it made everyone wear 3D WOAH IMAX glasses? No one would see that pile of shit twice
>>
>>64398596

Spoken like someone who didn't watch Avatar in the theater, at the time of its original run, during the throes of the recession.

There is a reason why it got the repeat business that it did. It was a welcome, well-timed escape in the culture. Also the 3D actually was "new" in the sense that it was qualitatively different from previous 3D flicks.

Ofcourse hes new. Avatar is 6 years old now. People don't even remember why 3D is everywhere these days, but it was entirely due to the effect of that one film.

But they also apply to Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest, the picture Avatard knocked off.

>Ofcourse hes new. Avatar is 6 years old now. People don't even remember why 3D is everywhere these days, but it was entirely due to the effect of that one film.
Eh, Avatar didn't necessarily start the 3D meme since Hollywood was occasionally testing it theaters, but James Cameron certainly made Hollywood realize that it's a instant cash grab, hence all of the "SEE IT SUPER DELUXE IMAX 3D!! xD"

Basically without 3D, neither Avatar nor TFA would've made so much, especially TFA in that small amount of time. 3D and IMAX 3D ticket prices are insane. Near me, a theater charges $23 at night for one person.

>>64400778
Well why is it such a big deal? It's kind of impressive from a technical standpoint, but it never feels like it adds anything. The first 3D movie I saw was one of those retarded Hellenic god hyper-action flicks. So already it has little going for it, except amazing action. And seeing a bunch of spears floating in front of the movie screen just didn't make it a better movie. Honestly it made it feel like a video game, which is where that technology probably has a niche to fill in it's current state.

It's literally just a distraction from the movie, the last thing you want when you pay fucking $11 to watch a passive medium for two hours in a cold room with too many strangers.
>>
>>64398509
serious question here.
why did Avatar do so well in the box office anyways?
After the movie came out, nobody really talked about it.
was it mostly because it was the first movie at the time to do 3D right instead of just gimmicky like in Spy Kids?
>>
>>64398509

Avatar was a new IP. Avatar 2 will destroy yet again. Laugh while yo can.

>>64401009
Right time and place, it looked good for its time and people need a big fantasy movie to forget about the fact that the economy was in a freefall.

People that think Avatar 2 will do well are delusional. It has none of the context that the original did, and none of the intrigue. I remember when the original Avatar came out, a huge part of it was word-of-mouth about how pretty the CGI was. Good CGI doesn't pull people into movies anymore.

Disney wants Jim to succeed with his Avatar sequels. They've poured so much money into Avatar Land at Disney's Animal Kingdom and it's going to allow that place to be able to stay open at night year round.

Of course, Imagineer Joe Rohde, guy in charge of Animal Kingdom as a whole (The one on the far right), has definitely been uneasy from Disney forcing him to throw Jim's stupid smurfy cats into the park that's been his baby for 20 years. Might get a good laugh at Jimbo's misfortune and then go add another earring to his absurd collection

Who even cares about the box office? It measures how popular a movie is, not how good a movie.

Let's all remember that Transformers 4 was the highest grossing movie of 2014... doesn't mean it's not of quality.

The critical response was just so positive. Everyone came out of the cinemas happy and content with the fresh, new, inventive film they'd just seen. Nobody felt like they'd been cheated or fobbed off. Then it was word of mouth from then on. Much like Cameron's other masterpieces. You see, when you avoid tacky gimmicks like jim does and don't see movies as investments but as finely crafted pieces of art, then you'll understand.

And I stand by what I said being a fan of most his work, especially T1 and 2.

If he can make something not laden with trope after trope after god awful trope, and without generic characters this time, then sure.
I'm with him.

Until then, I won't hold my breath.

Titanic changed him, and Star Wars seems to be investing in more risks with VII's cliffhangers than Avatar risked.. anything? Literally Safe: The Blockbuster

Disney has JUST NOW struck with their fresh possession of Star Wars.

This is their damage on the first blow. It's already killed Titanic, and it's threatening Avatar heavily. Imagine after Rogue One, and then for VIII.

And all you idiots think there's no difference between Disney running this game and George Lucas running it. Disney KNOWS this blind spot in Asia. And they will win there like they have in the US and Europe.

After the full momentum of VII in swing, Avatar 2 will fail in comparison to VIII.
Even in China.
And believe me, Cameroncuck, Jimjam IS comparing. Desperately.

His twin brother died and he was a crippled Marine. That's all I remember. Avatar was really an effects-led film rather a character or plot driven one. It's was visually spectacular on the big screen but had nothing that makes it memorable or iconic. I cannot see much of an interest in an Avatar 2.
>>

What do they have to entice you for Avatar 2?

More blue people I didn't care for from the beginning?

What does Disney have to entice people for VIII?

Luke.

You've already lost and it's so great to see you like this.

Avatar 2 will double the first film's worldwide gross simply because everyone will see it solely based on the meme that the first film is the all time highest grossing film ever. Obviously no one gives a shit about it in times of peace but as soon as the marketing campaign picks up its pace everyone will shit his pants in terror because Avatar 2's gross will scare you. It's the silence before the storm.

there's absolutely no chance star wars reaches avatar in worldwide gross. it'll have difficulty beating titanic.
compare the countries(like czech republic, russia etc.) and star wars has terrible legs in most of them where as avatar managed to have much better legs and crazy money per theatre. star wars doesn't even beat avatar in the first weekend in some places (greece, etc.) even when hyped as shit and had more screens and higher ticket prices.

the only big territory it hasn't been released in is china. unless china can give it like 500 mil, it will have a hard time. like i said, compare the countries box office in avatar and star wars. you can see star wars has terrible legs in a lot of them.

It's certainly possible, but as to whether it actually happens you'll have to look towards the drops that happen on Monday and during next weekend. It's going to drop hard in either case, but if it drops too much then Titanic may be out of reach.

here you go. literally check out the drops. star wars isn't going to be getting money at the same rate it has been and probably far less actually(has 70% drops in many places) unless it releases in more territories which there are barely any left. it'll have to rely on the countries that it is already doing well in like uk, which is pretty much the only one it's doing better than avatar in.

Every time I see one of these threads I get nervous because I had concluded long ago that TFA would not come close to Avatar.

It's already made at least 70% of its gross in almost every major market. The only overseas markets where it's doing significantly well are the UK, where it will surpass Avatar, and Aus, where it is doing very well but still won't pass Avatar. The drops it will experience in every other non-Japan market past this weekend will be ridiculous (60%+) and will half any momentum it has overseas. It's probably going to drop in the region of 50-60% domestically, too.
