Yes, they should be dropping the first teaser for it. When that'll come out to the public though, who knows.

Rebecca Keegan is moderating the Top Gun 2 panel the day after. I'm meeting her for coffee on the 26th so will see if I can get her to tell me if she knows anything (she's Jim's official biographer).

Teaser for Strange 2

Exclusive look/maybe Trailer for Avatar Day

Final trailer attached to Wakanda Forever with tickets on sales

 

 

Boom! Perfect marketing strategy.

[Noodlebug]

Yeah, Strange 2 is the perfect time to drop a teaser to get people hooked. Then a more proper trailer sometime in late summer/early fall.

Seems like it. I wonder how soon after this the GA will see anything. Once it drops the fire won't stop rising.

It won't stop rising until it maybe opens to sub-100m?

Perfect blow out.

I envy your blind and relentless optimism. I can't personally help feel more pessimistic. 

[dudalb]

I still maintain in order to do the knd of business the first one did, AVATAR 2 has got to be a better movie, with a better script then the first.  Not sure that just visuals, however well done, can pull that kind of money in again.

They don't hate now, but everyone trash Titanic in the 00's. This only stop when it lost it's #1 position on box office and hating it wasn't cool anymore. 

 

Honestly it's not much different than what happen with Avatar, i doubt people trully hate this movie, this not only have insane legs back in the day but it's also massive on home video, got very succesful cirque du soleil spectacles and one of the most hyped rides on Disney parks right now, you don't achieve this if people reject it. 

 

People trash it on internet because it's cool, because everyone does. The movie have it's problems, the script is simplistic, but honestly, pretty much all the movies on the top 40 biggest grosses have similar problems. The jokes people do now about basic script and Pocahontas plot, it was the exact same jokes people did in 2009 and that didn't prevent it to break records.

Thing is Titanic had a major impact on pop culture, Avatar did not. Titanic, though is had flaws, is simply a better movie then Avatar.

And? I was talking about how both faced online hate that doesn't really mean anything, which is true.

 

Then i said the problems this movie have is the same problems pretty much every big grosser also have, which is also true. 

 

Then i said the jokes people do about it's plot or similarities are the same jokes people made back in 2009 and it didn't prevent the movie of being succesful, also true.

 

I still believe in everything that i wrote, and i don't really think it have anything to do with which one is better (compared to Titanic).

There's rumours of the trailer being attached to Dr Strange 2 and...well I haven't seen any of my local theatres book as many 3d shows and IMAX 3D in years until this movie.

Spider-verse delayed to 2023, meaning that if Untitled 20th Century Studios Film (releasing wide of september 23 2022) is the avatar re-release itll have 3 weeks of puss in boots being its only real competition, I also dont think halloween ends will use 3d, so it can hold onto the vast majority of 3d screens for 4 weeks until black adam

 

That of course only applies if theres demand for it, and I think there is

I would die of laughter if Avatar breaks 3 Billion before A2 can.

$152.62 million to go - I would be shocked if a limited re-release can generate this much $$. Titanic 3D pulled in $350.5 m ($145m from China alone) but they let that release run its course, I don't think they would want to do that with Avatar, also China added $57.7m to the pot last year.  

 

I'll go see it regardless hoping that it's a bit of remix with added scenes or at minimum the 16 minute extended version. 

 

[Elessar]

I don't think there's any guarentee that there will be an Avatar re-release. Where do the people get the idea? There might have been an intention or plan to do it a long time ago but thinks change or don't develop further.
