    I cannot wait to see all the doubters on here get blown out so hard they wake up on Pandora. I'm more confident in Jim now than ever.

    Also - remaster is not HFR.

    Okay chucklefucks - I'm here and I saw it. Jim did a video and talked his usual spiel beforehand - this entire saga seems like it's a love letter to his own family in a way, at least that's how I interpreted it. We all know Jake is Jim to some extent. I spoke with JL for about 30 seconds and he said that DIS is extremely pleased with what they've seen so far. As for the footage, the CGI makes the original look like the final fight scene in Black Panther, I actually can't process it if I'm honest, the shot of the beach looked real, only when it went under the water and I felt like I was looking into a solid block of liquid did it get weird. The 3D HFR that people are crying about being 'weird' is. It's not anything I've ever seen before, but then again I also felt weird when I saw the original Avatar for the first time in 3D. It also wasn't really a teaser at all in the normal sense. The line that finished it "Whatever happens this family is our fortress" gave me goose bumps. The target demo of this movie is not just white males aged 18 to 25, it's going to be a movie your Mom and sister love too. This will be different on not just a technical level but a thematic level too. Expect a lot of incels online to not 'get it'. New prediction: Avatar $3.5B WW (post re-release) Avatar $5B WW.

    I would die of laughter if Avatar breaks 3 Billion before A2 can.

    Perfect blow out.

    I started following the box office when Alien came out. It's as fun to me as it ever was but I never went into the insane amount of detail on it that many here do. I think the key to enjoying it continuously is to not become too obsessed or you burn out. That and supporting the King.

    Seems like it. I wonder how soon after this the GA will see anything. Once it drops the fire won't stop rising.
  8. TomCruiseTop
    Bingo. Also that 1.08 billies will have an inflation adjusted value of $6.
  9. TomCruiseTop
    This time next year it will be 1.08 Billies as Avatar 2 enters its 4th month solid at #1

    Hemsworth looks wider for some reason. Maybe it's my screen. How many more Thor moves is he signed up for?
  11. TomCruiseTop
    Another easy billie for the MCU.
  12. TomCruiseTop
    Same but Avatar.
  13. TomCruiseTop
    Hamlet with Vikings.

    Rebecca Keegan is moderating the Top Gun 2 panel the day after. I'm meeting her for coffee on the 26th so will see if I can get her to tell me if she knows anything (she's Jim's official biographer).
  15. TomCruiseTop
    Most people never did in the first place.
  16. TomCruiseTop
    I personally enjoy the forums now far more that the scope and scale of what we can discuss has been vastly reduced. I think that's also reflected in the rest of the forum users.
  17. TomCruiseTop
    I don't think you'll struggle to remember this fact over the next decade.
  18. TomCruiseTop
    Couldn't agree more. This was a stroke of genius, really sucked the air out of the room.
  19. TomCruiseTop
    The reason you can't see that is the same reason you're not the one currently slaving away in NZ and instead posting on BOT. That's not me trying to be cruel, it's just that is the nature of innovators and genius.
  20. TomCruiseTop
    Are you attending CinemaCon this year EC?
  21. TomCruiseTop
    So it looks like I'm going to the premiere of this, what a pleasant cherry on top of potentially seeing the A2 teaser.
  22. TomCruiseTop
    You think it's coincidence that Avatar came out just after the great recession? The Box Office is economics my man, part of Jim's genius is his understanding and use of that fact.
  23. TomCruiseTop
    In fact the more I dig into this claim the clearer it is that Jim intended to start production proper in 2014 for an initial 2016 December release. Widely misreported as intending to do a 2014 release.
  24. TomCruiseTop
    This is a total fabrication. Fox originally would have loved for this to be the release date but nothing of this kind of plan ever came out of Jim's mouth AFAIK. In fact if we take a look at the Wikipedia article it's actually staggering the number of outright falsehoods are allowed to be promulgated about this film. The two quotes in bold are both wrong. The first being wrong because it's unsourced in the article itself, and as I said before, I don't remember Jim clearly stating this as the window - esp. given the fact he was elbow deep in the Challenger Deep project at this time. The second is totally made up by the article that it is sourced from. I have seen this lie mentioned multiple times across the internet - never, not once, did he say he intended to film footage from that dive for any Avatar film. They were in 3D for the Deepsea Challenge documentary that was put out in 2014. In fact it was only really during the press tour for that doc that Jim really started to discuss the time frames for A2 coming out, I'm not saying it hasn't been delayed numerous times, but man, the amount of misinformation is insane.

    Preface: all posts in this thread should relate to Avatar 2 and its Box Office potential - not your own views on politics or the impact of certain economic trends on human beings. With that in mind: In my view, this is really good news: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/11/inflation-data-white-house-expects-big-price-hikes-in-march-cpi-report.html The fact that the fed is warning about just how bad inflation currently is before the CPI report even comes out makes me think the real inflation rate is at least 20% and probably higher than that. Of course that's good for Box Office 'earnings' potential in and of itself, but I think there is an even bigger play here. If Powell really does decide to invoke Volcker and ramp up interest rates that could cause a 'correction' (read crash) that would provide a window of opportunity wherein the American economy is both down AND inflation is high. That won't last very long as fed action of that level would of course act as deflationary. Now, this is where we can theory craft a bit, I expect that these CPI numbers are going to be so bad that the Fed might even call an emergency meeting, and basically admit that this level of inflation can't continue, and so start to stem the bleeding. We're 8 months out on A2's release, it's not the perfect time frame IF we see a rate hike before the end of April. If Powell holds off and waits until May or later? I think we're cooking with some serious gas then, 4 billies might even start to look relatively 'low' from a dollar value perspective.
