Nobody knows if Cameron was anger that TFA beats Avatar DOM.All I know is Cameron is a big SW fan. I never expected that TFA would give a breakthrough in technology area.It is great that Harrison Ford,Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher return to Star Wars movie after 30 years.

When it comes to the Avatar sequels—the first of three is scheduled for release in December 2018—Cameron says he won’t face the problem that many Hollywood productions have, shoehorning in appeal to Chinese audiences. “I don’t need to cater to a Chinese market per se; I just need to keep doing what I’m doing,” he says, noting that China has three times as many movie screens now as it did when Avatar made $200 million there in 2010. (“Keep doing what I’m doing” is about as much information as Cameron will reveal about the sequels; a condition of our interview was that there be no Avatar questions, and even when he announced a surprise third Avatar sequel at CinemaCon in April, he only went as far as to call the films “a true epic saga.”) When Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened in December and threatened to overtake Avatar as the most popular movie in history, Cameron admits he paid attention—maybe because of some gentle competition between himself and George Lucas over the years. “George is always quick to tell me every time we meet if it was present valued [i.e. adjusted for inflation] that Star Wars would still beat Avatar, but all the secondary markets didn’t exist back then . . . ” he explains, laying out the highly technical back-and-forth between the two celebrated filmmakers. Cameron says you “reconcile yourself to the idea” that eventually some other film will beat Avatar’s global box-office record of $2.7 billion, and “what better than Star Wars?” After all, “before I was a filmmaker, I was a Star Wars fan by a couple of years.” On the other hand? “I’m perfectly happy that it didn’t happen,” Cameron admits. And what better film to beat Avatar’s record is there, really, than Avatar 2? http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/06/james-cameron-meat-psa?utm_content=bufferdab45&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Don’t worry about the problem about period.Avatar in 2010 earned ￥850M by 4 weeks(Jan.4-Jan.31).The second highest grossing in China,which was 2012,just took ￥450M for more than 30 days.

Maybe Avatar 2 could achieve the goal of earning $1B from China soon

Not that bad. X-Men won’t win the good reputation at this time(A friend said that after watching media screenings),but I still believe it could pass ￥700M with the support from fans and hugely popular. I think only Ethan Hunt could finish the impossible mission,making X-Men drop under the number of BvS,and Singer knows his limits.
