Does anyone have a legitimate chance of toppling James Cameron at the box office in the next 2 decades?
James Cameron, when he releases Avatar 2

James Cameron
>>69301347
Only himself

Avengers IW p2.
Justice League has a smaller, but possible chance.
Toy Story 4
It depends a lot on China.
Avatar 2,3,4,5,6 won't be close.

>Avengers IW p2
kek
$1.7-$1.9b at best. Avengers barely made half of Avatar's gross.
>Justice League has a smaller, but possible chance.
KEK.
>he thinks flavour-of-the-month capeshit films can topple a $2.8b box office record
>Toy Story 4
What the FUCK is wrong with you at this point?
>>69301924
It's about hype. Not the quality of the films. Disney MIGHT be able to market IW/TS4 so well that it because a box office phenomena.
JL might also if they push it hard enough. As long as Snyder doesn't fuck it up.
I seriously doubt it will happen. But it's the only ones I could see doing it.
Avatar only went big because everyone was curious of 3D. The Avatar sequels doesn't have the same wave to ride on.
We can't beat Titanic no one can

>he thinks hype alone can create the highest-grossing film of all time
No. Disney tried recently with the most-hyped movie of all time, and that failed to best even Cameron's 1997 effort at the box office UNADJUSTED. Disney's marketing can't do shit against the might of James Cameron.

Hype and marketing is all there is. See: Avatar.
I seriously hope you don't think people watch movies because they are well written/directed.
>>69302493
>Hype and marketing is all there is
Then why did TFA, the most hyped and marketed movie of all time, not manage to come within $700m of Avatar, a film that had no hype when it was released and was marketed on Cameron's name alone?
Why did it not beat Titanic, a film that opened to fucking $30m?
Probably not. Avatar was a perfect recipe; a dumb movie with a message bleeding hearts can easily get behind, a gimmick "MUH SPECIAL EFFECTS SO BEAUTIFUL", 3D (SO REAL REALER THAN REAL LIFER), and due to the 3D, costlier tickets
>>69302610
Hype and marketing around 3D for Avatar. Also, IFAIK Avatar was huge in China. TFA was not.
Don't know about Titanic.
the more you know, adjusted for inflation Avatar is actually not the top grossing film of all time
>>69302736
Avatar made $200m out of its $2.8b total in China, 7.1% of its gross.
TFA made $125m out of its $2.07b total in China. 6% of its gross.
Barely any difference.
>>69302818
Titanic?
>>69302862
Gone with the Wind actually
and Star Wars made more than Titanic, Titanic is 4th
>>69302915
That's interesting.

unfortunately I do not have guinness world records book 60 so I can't actually confirm but I imagine that it's not lying
Markelfaggots of all people saying it's all about hype. Hah! Avatar made a lot of money because it did something that's never been done before, story aside. Same thing happened with Titanic.

>Avatar made a lot of money because it did something that's never been done before
what's that?
>>69303112
Google it, faggot.
>>69303054
>titanic doesn't include rerelease
>titanic's rerelease puts it above star wars
Can you even read?
It'll have to be a movie with a groundbreaking new gimmick and plenty of "feels" to help people get laid.
>>69303148
You have no idea what to answer eh buddy
>>69303156
Any chance of TFA being released a month before Ep 8? That'd be hilarious
>>69302841
>people thought that corporate drivel pushed by JewJew Binks could top King Cameron of the Box Office
kek, this still cracks me up, I remember the cucks saying Avatar was finished.
>>69303252
Whatever you say, faggot.
>>69303328
James Cameron is the only filmmaker awesome enough to get middle America off their tractors
>>69302841
You're arguing with a retard.
>>69301822
Citizen Kane 2
The Godfather 4
3001: A Space Odyssey
8½ 2
>>69301347
If anyone can do it, it'll be Disney. With Marvel and Star Wars at their disposal, they may well have a legit shot at beating Cameron at the box office.
>>69301347
If Star Wars VIII manages to be ESB tier (very unlikely, but it's in their best interest to actually try this time) IX might make it if it actually manages to be good.
