I think there needs to be a thread called "Box Office Wars" where you're only allowed to talk about films with a shot at making $2 billion dollars. I want to see posts about Infinity wars and Last Jedi, not second rate cape heroes like Wonder Women and Thor. This is basically the comic book thread and it sucks I've been "contained" in it.

You can't be serious... you do know "people only watched it for the 3d" is the oldest meme in the book.

Wow! It's the highest grossing subsection of a subsection. Incredible. Come back when you make 2.78 billion dollars.

https://www.pgfusa.org/awards-winners "People ask me if I'm an optimist or a pessimist about the future and I answer both. I'm pessimistic about our systems, our so-called leaders, about powerful interests who control things and operate without very much empathy. But I'm optimistic about human ingenuity, about our ability to create and to innovate. We're smart monkeys. We need to science the shit out of this. I'm optimistic about the human spirit.” - James Cameron Saving the world 1 avatar at a time. Got a feeling that he's going to make people love the beauty of Pandora, then obliterate it. I'm sure there will be an surge of environmentalism thanks to them movies.

He said it less d-baggy than I put it, was my interpretation of what he said. This is not anything close to what I wrote, having a vision doesn't mean writing the script. I don't understand why you're conflating vision with script writing. Another reason he said was that the pressure of making that film is too much, because you're expected to hit a number like $1b or $1.5b. For studios it's money before quality. The best films of all time are rarely studio movies to the degree of the force awakens. Think about it hey but a giant budget on it, have more sequels lined up and so on. They're going intervene with everything the director does because they've got so much money on the line.

It was obvious to me too.

David Fincher was offered The Force Awakens directing position before anyone else but he declined. The reason being is that he would have been a supervisor and not a director, that the creative control he would have was too low. This makes me laugh because everyone on here thought I was a nut job for suggesting The Force Awakens was a studio movie not a director movie. I remember this was brought up when people on here were angry that Jim hadn't send JJ Abrams a congratulations letter (like Lucas had to Jim). https://www.empireonline.com/people/david-fincher/empire-podcast-david-fincher-interview-special/ Finch also says that cinema right now is poor and movies right now can be broke into 3 categories, heroes in spandex, romance and dumb comedy.

Good.

Nolan makes decent films which are enjoyable, he ain't special though and his popularity is baffling. I mean he never soils the bed so that's something I guess. Memento: 8/10 Batman Begins: 7/10 The Prestige: 7/10 The Dark Knight: 8./10 Inception: 7.5/10 The Dark Knight Rises: 6/10 Interstellar: 7/10 Dunkirk: 7.5/10 Snyder is more erratic but at he is far more talented than the tv directors they got directing superhero movies. Dawn Of The Dead: 8/10 300: 8/10 (14 year old self would have giving it 10/10) Watchmen: 8.5/10 LOTG: 8/10 (surprisingly good) Man of Steel: 7/10 Bantman vs Sups: 7.5/10 JJ abrams, mediocre as it gets. Should stick to producing. MI3: 6.5/10 Star Trek: 7/10 Super 8: 6/10 Star Trek Into The darkness:7/10 The Force Awakens: 6/10 (one of my favourite franchises rebooted with the safest, unimaginative and bland film, just a missed opportunity ruined.) MCU... lots of poor films, 10 years ago I was excited for comic book movies. Iron man was a strong start. Then they kept releasing the same film, over and over. They never raised the bar so to speak. Iron Man: 8/10 The Incredible Hulk: 6/10 Iron Man 2: 7/10 Thor: 6.5/10 Captain America TFA: 6/10 Avengers: 7/10 Iron Man 3: 6.5/10 This is the point I realised this films weren't going to get any better. Thor TDW: didn't watch Captain America TWS: 6.5/10 (I got the blu-ray for Christmas 3 years later) GOTG: 7/10 (Kind of enjoyable) Avengers Age of Ultron: 5/10 (what on earth was this film) Ant-Man: didn't watch, looks lame Captain America: Civil War: 5/10 (got tricked by the hype) Doctor Strange: 5/10 I'm thinking I'm not watching any more of these, I'll maybe catch infinity wars. The films are visually horrible and the comedy just doesn't do it for me. As for DCEU, Wonder Woman was a 7/10 and Suicide Squad was a 6/10. (MoS 7, BvS 7.5) Honestly for how provocative the title is, Star Wars is (or was) the best franchise. Star Wars: 9/10 Star Wars Empire: 9/10 Star Wars ROTJ: 8/10 Star Wars TPM: 8/10 (I loved the prequels as a kid) Star Wars AoC: 7/10 Star Wars RoS: 8/10 TFA: 6/10 (maybe it's better than a 6, but my disappointment was too huge) R1: 6.5/10

Production would be too far in to make changes would it not? I suppose marketing could be something to look at. However don't know why Jim needs advice in marketing his films, after all, he made the highest grossing film of all time not once, but twice though?

IronJimbo replied to Olive's topic in China At The Box Office
Keep booming Chinese cinema. We will need you in 2020. -
I think Jake and Neytiri will still be the main protagonists in Avatar 2.

"All there numbers are lies and they have terrible taste so it doesn't count. After all, only the brain dead would prefer blue Pocahontas in space wolves over STAR WARS."
-
China without a doubt will hold the record for the highest single region grossing film by that point, look at Wolf Warriors 2. I think the US will still be called domestic though, at least on here :>
