Actually, Avatar had a ton of buzz before its release. Everyone in the industry was dying to see it. It might not have had the best reviews ever but it was the talk of town. Heck, it had over 1000 pages before its release, if I remember correctly. You don't open a film to $77m in December and be an original film unless you have some hype going on.

 

Missed the part where Avatar was awarded at Venise's Mostra and was overpraised by critics, insiders and lucky attenders like Telemachos in advance spreading the word out on social networks...

 

We're not talking about the same "hype". Gravity had industry, critics and early attendance buzz that gloated page after page, tweets after tweets about it. Avatar got the industry buzz but the rest amounted to "What the fuss about CG blue people? Oh it's James Cameron's new blockbuster after Titanic? Well then let's wait and see to check it out". Not the same.

I will be curious about the Sunday numbers for Gravity, because my showing this morning was packed, which is atypical during football season.The movie was excellent. The special effects were amazing, but the story and script were excellent, and Sandra Bullock's performance was top notch. So it's great to see such a well deserving movie do well at the box office.

Must have been after The Town but before Green Lantern.

Apparently, it was:

 

Blake Lively

I know, right? It seems impossible now, but at one point in that crazy of summer 2010 we were trumping up "the battle of the blondes," as Johansson and Lively were the rumored top choices for the female lead role. Lively had just finished shooting but had yet to release Green Lantern, which could have made her a big name if it hadn't flopped so terribly. Of all the alternate casting choices for this film, this one's the most mind-boggling by far.

Some of the others auditioned/in talks for the lead in Gravity were reportedly Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Carey Mulligan, Olivia Wilde and Rebecca Hall.

:rofl: I know, that's not a joke, in that it actually happened, but I'm just bewildered that she was ever on the list. Did somebody at WB really like Gossip Girl?

 

Well at the time she had the backing of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. Not surprised she was in the mix.

One box office stat to finally fall this weekend is a pretty crazy one - "Gravity" has now become Clooney's top opening weekend as we all know, the crazy part is the movie it beat. Clooney's previous top opening weekend is probably the most critically reviled punch line of a movie "Batman and Robin" all the way back in 1997.
