Yes, we know that Avatar smashed in China. But the original point still remains. 3D is the reason why the movie was a huge success. It was the selling point. There is no denying this fact. And almost no one refers to Avatar as their favourite movies - this applies to the casual audience as well. That's where problem lies. The script is simply weak. It's never brought up in any conversation unless discussing box office. People are mocking the thought of a sequel because it feels stupid since the first movie wasn't even good to being with. No one is asking for it to be made. A similar situation happened with Alice in wonderland. The first one grossed 1 billion - cause of 3D visuals - yet the sequel bombed. My guess is that A2 does 1,3 billion max, which would be a disastrous decline. But time will be the ultimate truth teller. Except Avatar did 2,8 billion with 3D tickets and an economic collapse - biggest since the great depression - which gave it extremely favourable exchange rates. The current champion End Game would have grossed close to 3 billion with last years exchange rates. Also I'd argue that with rise of streaming getting people to go the cinema is an even bigger challenge today. Thankfully Disney is around with the MCU and nostalgic live action movies to save the industry. Good luck to Avatar 2. -
That doesn't mean they remember any relevant plot points or even something as simple as character names. It's comparable to remembering that you had dinner but not knowing the specific meal. The movie is forgotten in that sense. That's why the idea of a sequel is being mocked.

Avatar tripling China's biggest movie at the time doesn't mean it would have tripled the record in 2019. That's ridiculous to even assume. It's also easier to triple a record when the market is still developing since the standards aren't that high to being with. The screens have increased but a lot of the of the Chinese audiences only watch domestic movies - specially in the rural areas. There are tons of factors to consider when talking about Avatars gross. At the end of the day it's up to personal bias. I can sit here and say that a movie like Avatar would have never grossed as much today due to a variety of reasons and you'll disagree. We can argue over inflation, exchange rates and market growth all day - it wont change a thing.

Do you have any evidence that the movie is remembered or are you basing it on your own opinion as well?
-
Because it still ended up being the highest grossing movie of all time. It was bound to have people willing to pay for the home video. Let's not engage in revisionist history now. 3D was THE selling point of Avatar. Other movies weren't specifically recorded for 3D. Any other opinion is factually wrong and I'm not going to bother arguing against such dumb statements. That's nice and I'd argue that it would have sold less tickets - since 3D was the main appeal. It would have also grossed much less due to 2D tickets being cheaper.

Yes, I am aware that Cameron recorded the movie to look great in 3D (unlike other movies that just put a shitty filter over it). You can tell that he put all the effort into the visuals - hence why the script is utter garbage as not much effort was made there. The movie is forgotten because the novelty of the 3D gimmick wore off so let's hope for a better script with A2.

It’s pulling in less 2nd weekend cause it already grossed more than BATB in the first weekend (not to mention the huge Tuesday). Also summer box office can’t be compared to other months. TLK is going to end up with 1,5 billion. Which is exactly what any sane person would have guessed.

Coming from the guy that made the dumbest statement (ever) above. Lmao
-
But who will keep us updated on the future 2 billion grosser Hobbs and Shaw?
-
Uh yeah? Hence why WB benched the movie on Netflix cause they couldn’t compete. Namor is never happening cause of Aquaman btw.
-
Except Kevin decided to makes the eternals after DCEU announced New Gods (both these are pretty much the same thing). They are still competing.
-
What a load of bollocks. The main selling point was the 3D. It was a movie you had to see in the cinemas. Also if we are gonna go with your claim that it would have been as successful in 2D then the gross would still be much lower due to the ticket price decline. Unless you’re implying that it would have gotten millions of more admissions.

Disney having so many billion grossers this year. WOW what a moment to be alive. Truly raising the bar for every studio. me at Disney:

What are you not getting. Someone of his BIG age purising younger women is distubring and disgusting. There is a reason why all his relationships end quickly. He has NOTHING in common with those girls. A sad, creepy, relic using his fame to get with someone who's mentally underdeveloped in comparison. Cara said it the best. https://metro.co.uk/2013/05/21/leonardo-dicaprio-rejected-by-cara-delevingne-during-cannes-film-festival-because-hes-too-old-3802802/ ‘He spent the night chasing after her and essentially she blew him out. ‘He tried every trick in the book and apparently kept lunging for her but she kept dodging them. ‘She thought he was too forward and too old,’ the source told The Sun.

Tarantino has the critics up his ass. Of course they will praise him. Pretentious critics getting off on watching his movies pretending to be "artistes" while complaining about blockbusters are laughable. Thankfully the GA decide which movies are earn the most money otherwise we would be stuck with shitty Tarantino and A24 movies all year round.
-
No I never said that. But there is clearly something wrong with an ancient man seeking relationships with only girls in their early 20's. He'S MENTALLY lacking something. And dating someone is not the same as working with them
-
Except dating someone is more than physical attraction. An old ass man like leo has nothing mentally incommon with a 22 year old. He's disgusting for using his fame to use younger girls. FYI the brain isnt fully formed until 25+ of age .
-
Avatar isn't bigger. End Game is a far more popular movie. It DESTROYS avatar in admissions.
-
It's disturbing that a man who's pushing 50 is dating 20 year olds.
-
TarantiNO getting a B-cinema score. "CINEMA IS DYING. Disney's blockbusters are destroying REALLL FILMS" Well there you have it guys. The movie that was supposed to "save" (lol) the industry is getting a worse reception than a shitty shot-for-shot remake (TLK).

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/spider-man-far-home-box-office-crosses-1b-a-franchise-first-1226598 They are saying Aladdin is 1-2 million away from hitting 1 billion? Are the numbers on BOM not updated as of previous Sunday like EG was or?
-
It will be fine with just Bryke imo. They already have the animated version as the "script". Doubt they can mess that perfection up.

He's monopolizing BOT!!! No wonder he likes Disney so much!
