Emma.... So hot.

Agreed on the Ghibili comments. Side note: The Wind Rises underwhelmed

That guy is 41 years old. He is defying time. He still looks 21

Jack Nevada, you're the shit man. I may not agree on some, but I respect your choices and appreciate the thought you have put into your write ups. Great job! Cannot wait for your number 1.

1. Interstellar 2. Gone Girl 3. Godzilla 4. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 5. Rio 2 6. The Amazing Spiderman 2 7. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 8. 22 Jump Street 9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 10. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

And I'll reiterate my point to everyone - I am no Cameron fanboy or Avatar fanboy. I am an admitted Nolan fanboy and a Batman fanboy. So you better believe when I saw Avatar on its way to destroying my beloved Dark Knight, I was pissy, but you also better believe I paid my ticket to see Avatar three times in 3D. I never even thought it was a masterpiece or even great for that matter, but the 3D was so innovative, that I had to catch it a second time. The third time I went because my freaking dad, of all people, asked me to take him to catch it (he hadn't set foot in a theatre in years). Again, the guy has the ability to reach an audience somehow. Not sure what his secret sauce is, but I wouldn't count it out anytime soon.

Right. And that's my point. Logic says this should decrease, but logic doesn't apply to James Cameron. So anything is in play for this movie. For now, I see it hitting about 650m (don't fault me for that.. it's still an incredible total) and matching its overseas run. End of the day, I see this hitting around 2.6 billion. That's illogical, but somehow not crazy because of Cameron's genius.

Oh I agree with you. I don't care to see this either, but unfortunately the masses will eat it up. Think of it. All the parents who grew up with the original animated version tried to show their kids that film and kids nowadays don't see CGI and get bored so quickly. So now those parents will try to show their kid their beloved classic with a new twist that will keep those little fuckers in a seat for more than 30 minutes.

Couple of points on Avatar 2's potential run. First off, let's apply logic here. It is a sequel to the biggest movie of all time. Logic says this has nowhere to go but down. Logic also says that this movie will open pretty damn big and it's multiplier will be drastically different than the original (lower). Also, we would have to assume that even though this film will likely go down, people saying this is going to see massive drops are likely in for a surprise. When I say this is in for a drop, I'm talking like... minimum of 550 million. Which is still absolutely effing incredible. It likely wins the year any way. As for its overseas prospects, come on.... this thing is going to beat every movie's world wide total with just its overseas gross, not even including its domestic haul. But my point is this... all that logic doesn't mean shit. Because James Cameron doesn't give a damn about following history. He makes history. He makes movies that somehow transcend the rules of cinema and box office and ends up setting new heights. So honestly, this movie's potential is seriously off the maps because of the genius behind the camera. Wouldn't be surprised if he sets even more records, but for now, I'm sticking with a "conservative" slight drop to about 630-660 million domestic take with overseas grabbing around 2billion. End of the day, it's still king over anything including Avengers 2, Star Wars, Batman, whatever. (and I'm not even an Avatar or Cameron fanatic.. honestly. I thought Avatar was merely good, not great. I fall into the Nolan Dark Knight loonie bin, but you all know I'm right). As for those saying this doesn't have any hype... when has Cameron's films ever had any real hype before release? He doesn't need it. He let's his films speak for themselves through WOM.

I think people are allowing their anger for this film to drive what they think of its box office. Like it or not, how does this not kill at the box office? It's the Grinch, which made a shit load of money 14 years ago, it was surprisingly well received (I can't even begin to understand how - it was trash) and this new one will be 17 years apart which is more than enough time for folks to want another one and it will be marketed to a new generation of kids. The only con is having to compete with Pixar within days of release which admittedly could kill it, but this is an established brand and come on... it's an animated Christmas movie being released during the holidays. I don't see how this doesn't succeed with flying colors.

Leo even gives boss ass speeches.

Oh god she broke into song. Fml

Paula Patton, despite wearing god knows what is so damn hot.

This is really awkward.

She always manages to inject something funny in her speeches.

Bu then again, if you move some of those matches around, I could just as easily have had 8 for Ghibli and 5 for Pixar. In the end I chose Pixar because there are 1 or 2 timeless classics that do it for me.
