Why would this brand collab / deal be done if they didn't put the car in the movie...?

That's the point of it. Mercedes certainly have nothing to gain by making an Avatar car that never gets shown to the public. And its not like they are planning to make this into a real car. 😛 

 

It will be in the film in some shape or form.

 

Looks like the car is not in the movie so no roads on Pandora.

"To be clear, it's not a product placement," Kathy Franklin, president of franchise development at Lightstorm, told The Hollywood Reporter. "The concept car is not going to be appearing in the sequel — it's really a creative collaboration and inspired by, not just the first Avatar film, but the themes that are going to be explored in the sequels. We feel that Avatar is not only extremely well represented, but the partnership has an opportunity to broaden the reach and impact of Avatar to new audience."

I don't know about 5 billies, but $3B for sure and easily no. 1 domestic, overseas and worldwide. Shame they postponed it.

X-posting to a more appropriate thread.

 

Why 3B for sure? Do you really think the GA will go all out for this, moreso than Endgame worldwide and TFA domestically? 12 years with nothing is a long gap. Endgame had 21 movies and over a decade of buildup. TFA had 6 movies spanning generations, and 32 years between Luke, Han, and Leia on the big screen. What does Avatar 2 have going for it? Visuals? Cameron? I think it’s way too early to be calling it this high when we have no idea how the GA feels about it.

Avatar had 0 movie, 0 year of buildup.

2009 was a very different time than now though.

Yeah he’s a huge draw, but $3B huge? Way too early to say imo.

1997 was a very different time to 2009.

Only director to have that kind of world breaking success back to back for a reason. Avatar 2 may shatter even the 4-5 billion ww predicts out there.😱😱😱

 

Rem its a james Cameron mega event film and then everyone else.

 

Imagine if again his fan following domestic and ww all show from the abyss, aliens, terminator 2, titanic, avatar.

3 billion going to be snapped in two all. Goodbye Avengers endgame. Disney and cameron wins no matter what tho. Nothing but profit between Avatar 2 and 3 alone.

I think its going to be available only to the rich and it will be a concept car thats special order. It may make an appearance in Avatar2 or 3 though.

Markets have the largest profit to price disparity since 1929 and 1999 - guess what happened next.

[cdsacken]

Incredibly hard to predict almost 2 years out. Exchange rates could be wildly different.

 

Right now

Low end: 1.5B ( unlikely)

High End: 3.5B (Unlikely)

Target for now: 2.5B

 

China is the massive wild card. Seems like 450-1B is easily possible.

Two years out...please don't stretch out the release date any more than it already has.  😎

 

23 Months to go + a few days.

I sort of agree there are some insane valuations out there right now, a lot will depend on the Dem. nominee, Sanders or Warren will cause a huge drop, Biden might as well be a republican.

The concept artworks alone make Avatar 1 look like a small indie film in comparison

and we haven't even seen any artworks of the UNDERWATER/OCEAN scenes?

Oh my...

 

It's really hard not to overpredict this, $3B in my mind, always has been tbh

I would do something like as I complain all the time but it was an accident this time. I'm praying for no more delays! And really hoping for Avatar 3 by 2024.

There's a LOT of concept artwork out there from the first movie and Project 880, it's entirely possible that some of it gets worked into the sequels. 

 

If you're interested in some concept art from the first movie check out Dylan Cole's site.
