Well, Empire Strikes Back dropped off.I don't think it does less than 600. We're talking about a rather significant drop off from the first when people are saying it could barely cross 500m. The movie would have to be pretty bad quality wise to see that massive of a drop.

Official budget figure is about $230m, if i remember correctly. I think the budget for the sequels will be bigger as they are pretty much always.

I'd also add the lack of novelty.The only reason sequels usually falter is because of a lack of quality.
I'm leaving it open, giving it 5% odds.we're in unprecedented territory here, so we should leave all options open shouldn't we?

Yes, he might know how to make sequels but he never did a sequel to the highest grossing movie ever. One could argue no one thought Avatar would beat Titanic and he would be right but that streak will end sometime, even Cameron is only human.
$2b are big returns, or not? It might do even a little more, who knows, but i really doubt it'll come very close to the first one, let alone pass it. -
You people, with ridiculously high predictions, are crazy. The sequels will gross less than Avatar, even if they're better movies (to most people, since quality is subjective). Like the previous poster said, it is a ridiculously high mark to pass. Dunno what Terminator 2 or Aliens have anything to do with it. The former is a sequel to a movie that didn't even gross $40m and the latter a sequel to Alien, which did something like $80m. And before anyone accuses me of anything, i'm not a hater, to the contrary, i'm a Cameron fanboy, love Avatar.If i had to put down a number, i'd say $500m DOM / $1500m OS. Those are still huge numbers, wouldn't surprise me if it would do even a bit less.
Early Friday Numbers...?
