where do I see a list of tickets sold in france -
I've got a feeling they'll start revising their predictions early 2020 and they'll claim it was obvious all along.
-
Well we don't have any comparisons for that they don't exist, only 5 films have made just HALF of Avatar (not including Titanic)
-
sequels to popular films released within 1 year always do within +-20%, actually make more quite often. hobbits.. lotrs... potters...
-
no you're right it will probably make 1.6b worldwide
-
Do you reckon anyone can beat Avatar before 2025 or will Avatar have the top 5 slots.
-
it's like they forget the Domestic value is part of the Worldwide total.
-
Scotty M accusing Jim of saying dumb stuff, gold. but Avatar is #1
-
Would you agree with my assessment that the flight of passage is essentially close to a brainwashing tool, all non-avatar fans are converted inside the theatre then leave wanting to go see A2.
-
4 hour queues right?
-
took energy drink for extra energy now have crippling anxiety... really shouldn't drink that shit

The thing about the pop culture is weird though, they're comparing Avatar to franchises like Star Wars and Marvel which have been around forever. Avatar is just one original film and has Avatar world theme park, secret garden in Penang, mountain named after it and a cirque du soleil show. @JB33 Name an original film release within a decent time window to Avatar what has had more "cultural impact". Frozen is part of the Disney Princess franchise so doesn't count and also sells kids toys (big deal).

AQP was Jim hype tbh, its pretty unstoppable
-
Name a standalone film from the last decade with more popculture (what ever that is)

It's truly wonderful... SPELLBINDING

http://deadline.com/2018/04/james-cameron-amc-sci-fi-series-oscar-snubs-terminator-avatar-sequels-1202373780/ God I wish they just had a video of this press conference. "It’s a family drama, so it’s The Godfather. Obviously a very different genre [and] a very different story but I got intrigued by that idea, so that’s really what it is. It’s a generational family saga very different than the first film. Now, it’s the same type of settings and the same sort of respect for that shock of the new that we want to show you things that not only that you haven’t seen, but you haven’t imagined, ” he said adding the story is not what we might expect. “It’s a continuation of the same characters but what happens when warriors, willing to go on suicide charges and leap off cliffs on to the backs of big orange Toruks, grow up and have their own kids. Now the kids are the change makers. It’s interesting. Everyone is either a parent or they had parents at the very least. If you look at the big successful franchises now they are pretty much uninterested in it. So this could be the seeds of utter damnation and doom for the project or could be the thing that makes it stand apart and continue to be unique. Nobody knows until you make the movie and put it out. Anyone who thinks this is easy or they are just printing money over there at the Avatar studio, it doesn’t work that way.” "Science Fiction is kind of a commercial genre. It’s not really an elevated dramatic genre. In fact, it’s a genre as opposed to humanistic storytelling. But I would argue until I am blue in the face that science fiction is the quintessence of being human in a sense. We are technological beings. We are the only truly conscious species that we know of. We are struggling with ourselves over the issue of our own quest for understanding, our own ability to manipulate the fabric of reality, our own technologies blowing back on us and changing the way we behave amongst ourselves and as a civilization. We are living a science fiction reality. So I would say there is nothing more quintessentially human than dealing with these themes, but I agree Hollywood tends to pull short from that. They will reward science fiction films for their accomplishment visually, but they are definitely a kind of red-headed stepchild when it comes to the acting, producing, directing categories."

Which one? I thought people complained about the CGI.

That's the thing with Jim movies as Feasby said, his worst is better than most directors best, there's no shame in being Cameron's worst movie.
