As of today, I still don't believe this movie will ever be released. Best case scenario, the coronavirus will push every movie on the schedule by 6 months and James Cameron will use that excuse to push Avatar to 2025. BEST CASE SCENARIO!
If you mean right now, I agree. If you mean all time BO and HV sales, then I disagree. Although it will most likely get there with another movie or two.
I guess it depends what metrics you are using (Total BO/HV sales, peak BO/HV sales, cultural impact, merchandising...etc...)
EDIT : I was using cumulative BO and HV sales to make my statement.
Say what you want about the Despicable Me franchise, it's arguably the 3rd biggest animated franchise behind Toy Story and Shrek (including Puss in Boots) and ahead of Ice Age in terms of DOM and INT BO as well as Home Video sales. As for quality, I'll let others more familiar with these franchise debate this.
Move all clubs to the Clubs sub forum and edit the main movie first posts to link all approved clubs related to the movie (edit the club's first post to indicate both threads are linked to each other). Dedicate a Mod for this task.
To celebrate this thread reaching 1000 pages, I'd like to express my opinion on the following franchises:
Star Wars : Luke was properly portrayed in The Last Jedi
MCU : Tony was not the hero of Endgame, - he wouldn't have snapped if he had known it would kill him - Also Infinity Wars was part 1 and Endgame was part 2
DCEU : Snyder deserves credit for the Wonder Woman script
X-Men : X-Men The Last Stand was pretty good
Avatar : This is not a franchise. At least not yet... and maybe never. I still think this will get delayed to 202X...
Harry Potter : Old Harry scene at the end of DH2 was cringe worthy
LOTR : Visual effects in the Hobbit series were better than in the LOTR
Transformers : Shia Leboeuf was a pretty good actor
That's all.
