well it's about whether you can sell a movie or not. If people are silly enough to watch a movie just because Lawrence is in it, causing the movie to make 50 million+ than it would have otherwise, the going by basic economics it's a good investment. I know it sounds ridiculous but that's how it works.

Well most people said that for the avengers. People also said that when Spider-Man 3 broke the weekend record. These days you can't really predict what will break the weekend record and what won't. For all we know Star Wars might underperform...I doubt it but avengers 2 "underperformed" and I wouldn't have expected that in a million years.

This is just the most shocking box office run for me. i guess franchise revivals are now the "new" superhero movie.

Rated NC-17

Yesssssss......

...By their very own fanboys, right?....just like Hunger Games might be seen as revolutionary by its own fans

Just like people stereotype superhero films as being similar because it has men in costumes saving people?

Actually, I'm a hunger games fan....but nice try. By the way, what I am saying is fact. The MAIN demographic for Hunger Games are teenage girls (at least it was at the beginning) and these type of plot devices (love triangles) appeal to teenage girls. I felt like the love triangle was forced but I completely understand why Suzanne Collins did it. I would to if it gave me a better chance at becoming a bestselling author and a multi-millionaire by the next year. Its not biased to state the obvious...you're acting like teenage girls don't eat this stuff up, they do. And us men love superheroes and watching shit explode...maybe thats our stereotype but (in GENERAL) most men do like that kind of stuff. Whats the big deal?

Why? Possibly to sell books to gullible teenage girls that are dying to be in a fanbase where their most interesting conversations revolves around statments such as "OMG!!! Totally TEAM PEETA!" or "I totally ship Katniss and Gale! xoxoxox". If you make a story with lots of twist and turns, write it in first person, and put a CW-esque love triangle in there...you are almost garunteed to become a multi-millionaire. And thats exactly what Suzanne Collins did. Smart thinking on her part

Nolan was so subtle with that name. Almost as subtle as Avatar's unobtainium.

I feel like everything you say these days is sexist. "I like your dress" "You're sexist!!!!" "Your dress is ugly" "You're sexist!!!!!"

Off of ALLEGIENT? Hmmm.....we'll see lol.

LMAO! I would be in tears.....boxoffice Gods please make it happen! The Hobbit is really the worse culprit. I mean, three? really? I am a huge fan of the LOTR trilogy and didn't bother watch any of The Hobbit films. I'd rather keep my positive memories of the LOTR movies and The Hobbit book intact, thanks

For Hunger Games (which is what you're referring to, right?) yes, the studio will make a profit because its such a big franchise. With divergent its utterly ridiculous and its going to back fire, I wouldn't be surprised by an embarassing sub 30 OW

I think people are starting to realize these split movies are completely unnecessary. Lol, I can't WAIT to see how Allegient Part 1 does. I'm laughing already.

I'm starting to regret my Sin City 2 over Avatar prediction. Hopefully, it still has a shot at beating The Avengers.

Titanic is an AWESOME movie and one of Cameron's best.

92% on rottentomatoes vs 20% on rottentomatoes hmmm...I can believe it.

TMNT is about to make more money than HTTYD 2's opening weekend.......just let that sink in a little.........

Its astonishing that the movie that came out 14 years ago had the best makeup of them all. First class mystique looks like shit compared to this....you can tell they put a lot of time and effort here.

I thought this film would open at 45 million and make 130 domestic, 240 worldwide..... FAIL.

There is NO WAY Avatar 2 makes that "little". The internet hate may be skewed but the general public LOVED this film. Dvd/Bluray sales + tv replay proves it. When the trailers come out everyone will get excited again. 550 it the minimum for Avatar 2. I can see Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 decreasing significantly if the second one isn't good.

...And the vfx team, and the set designer, and the film composer, and the director, and the screenwriters, and the two annoying scientists, and the entire ridiculosly stupid aliens subplot, and the art director.... I think I might be missing a few
