I think you can do all the marketing and hype in the world, but if you film isn't good enough for people to rewatch. You're not going to touch Avatar or Titanic. I'm not counting sws loonies who saw TFA 15 times to convince themselves it is better than mediocre.

 

TFA is a nice film. Nothing extraordinary...just a well-crafted, respectful quasi-remake of A New Hope. It did not break any ground or push any boundaries (it didn't intend to, of course), and it was exactly the kind of film that SW fans were expecting/hoping for/clamoring for. For being that film they wanted, fans spent over 900 million dollars in tickets.  But I don't think that even SW loonies claim that TFA is any kind of phenomenal achievement in filmmaking.

I think Avatar 2 will suffer the same fate as that of Alice 2, a big decrease in ticket sales from a lot of major markets. Some may increase (mainly China) but that won't help.

You are trying to tell me TFA wasn't the best movie ever made?

The majority of those quotes are fake bullshit and people are falling for it.

 

Guys, all you are gonna achieve is people hating on Jim and Avatar but i guess you already know that...

A James Cameron movie is an event, Alice wasn't even an event the first time out. Ticket sales will decrease, it would be preposterous not to think that, it'll still probably make around TFA numbers.

Even if this is the case (which I doubt) - I still see it breaking $2 billion WW.

I sincerely doubt that, Avatar 2 will be a better film than the first.

You don't make the highest grossing film in the entire existance of the universe, not once, but twice though. Without gaining a few haters.

I don't think even Jim would believe that. But i bet he believes in aliens. And who knows how successful their movies are...

it will help when it gross more than 800M IN China when the original did 200M. Plus it is unlikely that Avatar 2 will ever be in the same realm as Alice 2 in terms of quality.

Buddy, it's not Cameron that we're talking about getting haters because of the movies

 

I think they're just mentioning that the fake quotes are getting annoying.

And the funny thing is that the original Alice owed a lot of its success to Avatar 's residual audience goodwill towards 3D...

Well Jim is a badass and has made the highest grossing film in the galaxy not once, but twice.
