Even with the Avatar sequels I'm not certain we'll see a run like Titanic's ever again. 

Titanic was the GOAT box office run.

 

Titanic scale run today would be over 5 billies.

 

Aiming for 4 billies rn

Agreed also really impressed with DOM run by TFA and Black Panther.

still didn't understand the Black Panther Domestic box office run ...   it was truly mind-blowing though

I wish they'd give Titanic a big full blown re-release, it could easily retake #1.

Perfect timing and lightning in a bottle. It's a really easy film to watch as well. I loved the villain as well.

"No cultural impact". I think I'll take scientific immortalisation over some basement dweller wearing a t-shirt with a face on it.  

We also have a frog named after Jim - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pristimantis_jamescameroni

"Avatar has no cultural impact'

 

"big blockbuster measure of success is whether it passes Avatar or not"

1. Masha and the bear has a big reference to avatar

2.Simpsons has an avatar intro

3.Titanfall2 is heavly inspired by avatar

4. Anthem is heavily inspired by avatar

5. Whenever someone posts something about luminescene (animals, plants) online, first comments are about avatar

 

And many more.

[cdsacken]

That's just silly. Avatar was everywhere for a couple years after. It's just been forever and that's Jim's biggest problem. A sequel for a movie 12+ years later.

 

I hope they spend like $250+ million promoting it

Not sure I would say 'heavily inspired' for those two.  Some inspirations, sure, but not THAT much.

Please tell me you're being purposefully dense Wang. Any one with any knowledge knows that many games, including the two listed, take massive inspiration from Aliens, of which much of the tech in Avatar is also derived from as they're all from the same mind. 

 

No one would claim Starcraft was inspired by Avatar but there's certainly a claim to be made that they share similar design DNA thanks to Aliens.

I really wish that re-releases of classics still has a sizable audience like they did before, so that Titanic can be re-released every few years, like GWTW did, and I'd go watch it every time.

When I watch films like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, I felt that a lot of the visuals were clearly inspired by Avatar, another example would be Valerian. To a lesser extent even some scenes in sequel HTTYD films, that I'm not as sure, because battles with people riding dragons (or Na'vi riding Banshees) are probably going to look similar regardless.

Wouldn't that be nice?

That first alien is literally what a xeno would look like if it was born on pandora!

So is Avatar and Alien(s) shared universe? Crossover imminent?
