ticket price. 2017 ticket price divided by 1977 ticket price, then multiply this value by it's first run gross .

I got 194,821,449 * 4, coming to 780m

Talking about single runs, Star Wars got re-released. As were you..

How do you work the adjustment out? It made $600m on it's first run and this inflation website I'm using says that it converts to $910m today.

Well Titanic has the most admissions I'm not actually sure which made the most adjusted $.

wasted potential

Also as far as Peter Jackson's legacy goes, I don't think it's fair to judge him on the subpar Hobbit films. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/peter-jackson-admits-the-hobbit-was-a-shambles-i-just-starting-shooting-without-most-of-it-prepped-a6740136.html He was thrown into the deep end with no preparation thanks to Del Toro.

Isn't Christian Rivers the pupil of Jackson? This is his first feature length film, if he makes something good here I'll have to catch everything he makes.

Oh fuck it's LONDON Definitely will be catching this on in Cinema.

Gone with the wind released 10+ times over decades and decades in a time before home cinema.

I definitely didn't feel the buzz this year in the UK like I did in 2015, I guess that reflects the -27% change in the UK's gross.

I actually watched Little Witch Academy which was a good watch, also enjoyed Youjo Senki which was different but not incredible. Never heard of the others mentioned, I'll look through them.

luck

$2.78b from China alone.

Mahoutsukai no Yome, only just started but I ain't feeling this. it's a little bit ridiculous. Going to power on to episode 5 then decide if it's dropped.

Also another thing people are underestimating is the one month foreign release limit in China. Two films that I know of have had extensions to their 1 month, zootopia and coco. Zootopia was in Chinese cinema for 7 weeks, increasing from $199m at week 4 to $236m by the end of week 7. Jim will get an extended release in China for Avatar.

Avatar/Titanic's secret weapon, women.

not worth it

What trailer, how do I see it?

Sad but true

Right, but the majority of western TV shows lack quality. Every good series ends up getting more and more seasons until it's eventually bad, so you end up with no series with a good finish. There are exceptions of course. True Detective (SEASON 1 ONLY) and Mind Hunter come to mind.

I quoted you from the Avatar thread. Inflation and exchange rate and the rest of the world. In December 2020 if Avatar 2 was to match Avatar's 75 million tickets sold in Europe it would probably gross close to Avatar's $1b from Europe, I'm agreed with you there. By the way we have to also entertain that the exchange rates could increase not drop. If we forget about Europe and look at the rest of the overseas market, I'm confident in saying if Avatar 2 performs the same as Avatar comparatively to the market sizes, Avatar 2 will definitely make more. JC Magic You don't make the highest grossing film of all time, not once, but twice though? Without a bit of JC magic. Avatar 2 and pushing film technology forward Jim promised to “push” innovation in service of storytelling in his Avatar sequels as he accepted an honorary membership in the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/james-cameron-promises-innovation-avatar-sequels-as-hes-feted-by-engineers-942305 Jim had this to say about HDR technology. "Seeing a film that everybody knows, but seeing it in HDR in 3-D with proper light levels on a Dolby Vision laser projector—it’s really a glimpse of the future. . . . We had the whole film remastered in HDR, and it’s stunning. It’s beyond 70 millimeter, it’s beyond any format that you’ve seen before". "Obviously the [new] Avatar films will be [in Dolby Vision] as well, and in fact, we’re also going to do a conversion of Avatar to HDR. We’ll re-release that at some point down the line.” He's really excited about this new technology and is going to use it with the Avatar sequels. Jim has talked about shooting the action scenes in higher frame rate, but keeping other scenes 24fps. Jim has innovated a new underwater motion capture technique which he is already using in production of the sequels. http://collider.com/avatar-sequels-underwater-filming-explained-james-cameron/ " Well, we’re doing it. It’s never been done before and it’s very tricky because our motion capture system, like most motion capture systems, is what they call optical base, meaning that it uses markers that are photographed with hundreds of cameras. Cultural Impact Not convinced there is any correlation between the number of memes a film creates and how well it will do in box office. The cultural impact thing is such a vague and loose thing to measure. If we are to look at things we can measure though. Avatar Land Highest selling Blu-Rays of all time, second to Frozen. Mountains in China named after Avatar. This is pretty much more than any stand-alone film has achieved in terms of cultural impact, who cares if people don't quote the film.

You're making the assumption Avatar's gross was solely because of the 3D buzz. Ahhhh sorry no more Avatar lol

https://www.avatar.com/ https://www.avatar.com/quiz I took the quiz and I'm most closely connected with the Kekunan http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Kekunan_Clan " They are known for their fast reflexes, cool composure and courageous heart " sound about right

It made 14 million dollars from 16 imax screens in China (thats all they had in 2009). Anyway it wouldn't be fun if everyone predicted the same thing, kind of a downer of the TLJ run to be honest. The fact that everyone is estimating TFA's gross minus 5-30%. It's going to be awesome when Avatar hits cinema because we're going to have people estimating under 1 billion, and some going as high as $4billion. Done with Avatar talk no derail.
