  1. Our film industry has collapsed badly few years back due to the fact that they can't make blockbuster movies anymore. Lollywood is term used for our industry but occupied by regional directors and film producers. Our cinema heavily rely on intel Movies. Many people like me and my friends bought tickets just to watch A2 trailer. But at the end we had to fight with them. 

    A glimpse.

    The first image is what they called "a million dollar shot", there are scattered scenes throughout the movie with this quality, the Tsu'tey death scene included in the expanded version of the movie is one example. I expect Avatar 2 to completely blur the lines between full CGI characters/live actors interacting together, their environments and presented in full clarity (no muddy darkness to hide or mask lazy/cheap CGI). Although we know darn well that the Na'vi & Pandora aren't real, they will look 100% real. 

     

    Looking over the full cast & crew listing at IMDB, it appears that Weta is the only digital effects provider working in tandem with Lightstorm. This is a great sign imo as Weta does amazing work and like Jim they're a company that is always innovating and pushing forward.

    About 37% of all domestic cinema screens — 16,284 of 44,111 — are 3D according to the MPA's 2020 report.

     

    According to Avatar's opening weekend article on Deadline , Avatar played on 3,129 3D screens and 179 3D IMAX screens in its opening weekend, a total of 3,308 3D screens. Close to 60% of Avatar's opening weekend gross — around $46m — was made from 3D screenings: "Avatar is playing in 3,542 total theaters in North America with 3D presentations at 2,038 sites accounting for almost 60% of the grosses."

     

    So running the numbers, with there now being around 5x as many 3D screens as Avatar opened on in 2009 where it made around $46m in 3D — and also taking into account ticket price inflation — I'd say that it's quite comfortably theoretically possible for an $150m all-3D opening.

    Why not 200-250mil?
