Moderation   @IronJimbo @JamesCameronScholar @ImNotExcited@watcher1232@dudalb   I'm gonna say this once, and this applies to everybody here on both sides: we're not doing this "lol look at all the doubters, Jimbo is amazing" BS anymore. We're not doing this "lol look at these Cameron fanboys. So delusional. Fanboys gonna fanboy" It's not funny, never was funny, and frankly is unnecessary nonsense that clogs up the forums.   We still have eight months to go, and we r

Moderation: Please refrain from baseless commentary on shills and paid, biased critics. The movie is getting very good reviews, that should be good enough for fans to enjoy without engaging in nonsensical fanboy nonsense.

Hello Everyone!   This is just a friendly reminder from your Admin that reviews are subjective, and are not gonna affect your overall enjoyment of the movie.   And if anything is getting too heated for you; I pinned this post! You can come back and just look at the furbabies in my signature for a serotonin high!   Godspeed, folks.

More frustrating than obvious trolls/fanboys I can easily ignore is otherwise sound-thinking posters who for who knows what reason give in to completely unfounded negativity.

 

Sorry my English sucks. What is your meaning?

Everyone expecting this film to bomb/disappoint. It's not funny or edgy anymore, it's just tiresome.

 

Ha I see. Well, I'm sure we all agree Avatar is certainly not a a darling on internet but I think it's up to you to decide for yoursellf whether or not those loud nay-saying about Avatar on internet since 2009 represents how the real world think, aka to quote BKB "NO ONE LIKES AVATAR NO ONE TALKS ABOUT AVATAR YOURE STUPID IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE!"

 

On the other hand, those loud nay-saying aint really something new. Titanic used to be the target and then Avatar took the spot. There's something about Cameron's last two "chick flicks" that just rubbed some people the wrong way.

 

On the bright side, only 3 yeasr to go to settle the question of whether Avatar made 2.7BN because Cameron got lucky like he did with Titanic, or because people actually loved those films.

SW Episode IX December 2019 is a lock. Probably.

Yes. It's agiven.

 

Dec. 2017 for SW:E8

Dec. 2019 for SW:E9

Is Han Solo:A Star Wars Story for May. 2018 totally confirmed? Do they want to try the "summer legs" on a SW movie so they can move some of their future SW releases to may and avoid Avatar confrontation in Christmas (2020-21, 2024-25) and still keep delivering one Star Wars movie a year?

 

Something like

May. 2017 GOTG2 / POTC5

Dec. 2017 SW:E8

 

May. 2018 A:IW1 + HS:ASWS (Han Solo: A Star Wars Story)

Dec. 2018 Mary Poppins Returns

 

May. 2019 A:IW2

Dec. 2019 SW:E9

 

May. 2020 ASWS

Dec. 2020 Avatar 2

 

May. 2021 SW:E10

Dec. 2021 Avatar 3

 

Dec. 2022 ASWS

 

Dec. 2023 SW:E11

 

May. 2024 ASWS

Dec. 2024 Avatar 4

 

May. 2025 SW:E12

Considering that they didn't even decide whether they want Episodes with current or new cast, fat chance there's Episode X so soon after Episode IX. And considering how well they are doing in December, it's doubtful they'll move them to May. Likely they'll keep May for spin-offs.

My thoughts are that Disney are trying to play tactical. They know that Episode 9 is 100% guaranteed to be much bigger than Han Solo, so I believe the idea of moving Solo to May is that fans have to wait longer for the next star wars movie. I.e. if they were just every Christmas, it might seem a bit too regulated. So move Solo to May and now people have a Christmas off, meaning that when EP9 comes round 1.5 years after Solo, people are hungry for the new star wars, allowing them to further hype the "last in the trilogy". I feel I've explained this very badly, but it's just my theory, that essentially it's a marketing ploy.

they're trying to combat over saturation, a technique cape films could look into

I remember when Avatar was coming out....I think my prediction for it was 800 million worldwide. I doubted Cameron once....I will not do it again. To say that he got lucky twice doesn't make any sense. Luck might happen once but when you make the highest grossing film of all time twice that's not luck that is Talent. James Cameron obviously has found a way to make films that the masses love. I don't have a prediction for the next Avatar three years out, but I definitely think it will be closer to 3 billion than 2 billion.

800m isn't exactly doubting the guy...
