I think Oppenheimer is IMAX only, so it'll probably be Mario for the regular shows. After that, I'm probably getting a combo of Shazam (weird they didn't drop a new trailer, but I guess Warner doesn't care since they're doing another reboot), Transformers (non-IMAX of course), Spider-Verse, Guardians, and Indiana Jones. Maybe some schlocky film like Plane replaces one of them.

I know it's early, and I do feel we might have to change our expectations on box office on what is a "big hit" after this year. Like we have to come to terms that streaming has caused the box office to likely decline big time the same way it did to TV ratings and album sales (inb4 "but Top Gun/Spider-Man tho"). HOWEVER, I do think the advertising campaign is to blame here. It was everywhere, but pretty much all the trailers consisted of "wow, Pandora sure is pretty", and nothing else in terms of story or character that would get people invested. And granted that was the same pull for the first movie, but that just made this new movie look like more of the same with nothing else to look forward to. Which is fine if you're already an Avatar fan who was excited from the word "go", and obviously there's a lot of thoese guys. But if you only saw Avatar once or twice back in '09, even if you liked that experience in '09, the ads don't give you this big hook that makes this stand out as something special. And yeah, add on the fact everybody knows it will be on Disney+ in a couple months, and I feel there's not really something for a casual fan to get invested in. Could be wrong, will probably leg out like crazy, idk idk idk, please don't yell at me

Though in all seriousness, I'm always on the side of Titanic as Cameron's best, but the first Terminator is probably the best when it comes the screenplay. Like I'm legit amazed every time I watch it how tight the story is and how carefully planned each plot point and inciting incident is. It's the one screenplay I would proudly use as an example for students to follow if I hosted a screenwriting class.

You know what? Screw it, I'm starting one of the random rankings (or is it random? I dunno) 1. Princess Mononoke 2. Atlantis: The Lost Empire 3. Dances with Wolves 4. Ferngully: The Last Rainforest 5. Pocahontas And for the record, I only thought...two of these were good lol. And honestly, Atlantis was basically borderline because that film is only saved by the pretty animation and the characters. That film's plot is MESSY
