Reviews go live on the 13th so critics scores will be on RT then. RT Audience will be Thursday but Cinemascore won't be until the weekend (Sat or Sun).

Watch 'Avatar: The Deep Dive, A Special Edition of 20/20' Tuesday, December 13 10/9c

By Jim Donnelly

Dec 6th, 2022

 

ABC News announced "Avatar: The Deep Dive, A Special Edition of 20/20," a new primetime special edition of "20/20" that features exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the powerhouse film franchise through the eyes of legendary director James Cameron. In a revealing interview with ABC News contributor Chris Connelly, Cameron recounted the world's reaction to the first-of-its-kind film "Avatar" more than a decade ago, his challenges making the highly-anticipated sequel, "Avatar: Way of the Water," and his plans for three additional installments.

 

The one-hour special also includes interviews with stars Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet and Stephen Lang, who describe their experiences working with Cameron and the signature motion-capture technology. Weaver, who is returning as a new adolescent character, explains how it felt to play one of the youngest characters in the sequel and how she tapped into her own childhood for the role. Academy Award® winner Kate Winslet talks about her long-awaited reunion with the director and why she was eager to join the project, playing one of the leaders of an undersea Pandora clan. In rare behind-the-scenes footage, the cast is seen undergoing months of intensive free-diving training with renowned free-diving expert Kirk Krack to give full underwater performances.

It won't be — not anywhere even remotely close, exchange rates completely preclude that possibility. At best it'll repeat Avatar's 27/73 or very slightly better (24/76, 25/75), but at worst it's going to be 30/70 or so.

 

so 850 needed for 3 billion domestic is what youre saying?

Really all depends on China. $750 should be enough, but even $700m domestic is potentially sufficient if China does very well (circa $700m). I would say $650, but such a relative domestic underperformance would make me question if there was something intrinsically about the film that'd make it play worse than expected everywhere, not just domestically.

How are we feeling for Golden Globe nominations tomorrow? Drama, where Avatar is campaigning, has Women Talking, The Fabelmans, Elvis, and more to contend with.

 

IF enough people have seen it I dont think it should have much trouble getting the noms it wants (director+drama), but that might be a big if

[CaptNathanBrittles]

OW: $142m

DOM: $713m

WW: $2,852m

 

Close but no cigar, Jim.

I think it won't appear on GG on major categories, but should appear on Critics Choice

I'm sure Cameron would be devastated with that result.
