  1. This would depend on how Prometheus goes. If Prometheus flops, this wont happen.
  2. 3D, weak competition. Also The Smurfs used to be pretty popular in a lot of countries?
  3. Interesting discussion. Things are a little different in China. In China sometimes the dowry is not even worth mentioning comparing to what the family of wife asks from the husband's family lol
  4. But we will have 4 huge Dec in a row in the next 4 years. TH1, TH2, Avatar 2, Avatar 3.
  5. Definitely. Avatar raised the public's interest of going into the theater.
  6. Maybe TLK caused the weak performce of the animation films this year, because it let everyone know what a truely great animation film really is.
  7. You dont need to wait till 2014 then. Next year TH will give you the answer.
  8. Well, some of you guys really have unrealistically high predictions for TDKR in China. 125m? Are you kidding me?Like I said, while Inception got all the quality to make big bucks here, none of those that make TDKR so specially in the US works here.
  9. People say "Oh you can't judge a film by its box office numbers." but keep in mind that, unlike TDK, TF2 or DH2, Avatar didnt have the luxury of a diehard fanbase and the gigantic awareness that a sequel owns, and without a huge OW that usually certifies a great box office result, its success was built almost entirely on its WOM. To keep the audience coming back again and again like that, the visuals alone are not enough because no matter how spectacular the visuals are, people will get bored soon enough. The film has to make people emotionally invested, and only emotional investment will give people the will of exploring more instead of getting bored. And this is exactly the same reason both Titanic and Avatar became WW phenomenons that could only happen in decades: they both had the spectacles, and they also succeeded massively on the emotional level. (And for the same reason they even received the same backlash, from the media and on the internet.)
  10. Saying Avatar isn't Cameron's best work is one thing, saying Avatar is a weak film is another. IMO T2 is his best work, and one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, and I dont' think he can ever top that, not even with Battle Angel if that ever gets made. But, your being not as great as Michael Jordan doesnt make you a bad player. You can still be Kobe Byrant.
  11. In terms of CG, Titanic is obviously no match on todays' standard, but Titanic had a lot of practical effects, and that's sth different because Avatar basically is all CG. Given that Cameron literally rebuilt the Titanic back in 1997, it's hard to top that tho.
  12. Of cause it is. Titanic is like, the biggest tear jerker of all time. But that's not the point here.
  13. I wont try to set an argument here, because all are just your, personal and subjective, opinion.I just want to say that your comments are exactly the same as people used to have on Titanic: a poor love story, bad dialogue, weak plot, blah blah blah
  14. Always fun to have a laugh at people who think Avatar didnt have a great or even decent love story. It was the film's strong suit folks. There are not many films out there with a better love story than Avatar had. :DAnyway, since some haters said "OMG Avatar isn't original. It's a Dance with Wolves ripoff. ", that guy should have put up the lawsuit against Kevin Costner instead of Cameron.
  15. The one with the best portrayed villain.
  16. "Jack Nicholson can kiss my ass."Oops sorry he didnt say that
