We're very much in a situation akin to immediately prior to Titanic's release, or immediately prior to Avatar 2's release, where the full potential of the global box office is untapped.

 

The global box office market holds the potential for a film to gross far in excess of $3b — it would just take an Avatar-like or Titanic-like performance with huge, often record-breaking grosses in pretty much every market to realise that potential. No film since Avatar (and really, no other film in the history of cinema outside of Avatar and Titanic) has had that kind of global appeal where it resonates almost equally with people across all countries, cultures and languages.

 

There's no doubt in my mind that if Cameron delivers on Avatar 2 in the same way that he delivered on Titanic and Avatar, that Avatar 2 can gross well above $3b. The rational part of my brain is pushing back on $4b as that would be a Titanic-level performance, but it's Jim we're talking about here, so I'm not naive enough to say it's impossible, just very unlikely.

wait, what happened to The Way of the Water or something else of the Water? I thought that was the official title?

That would be nice but first what is the movie going to be called?? Let's start with the official title first.

 

Avatar --------------------- 

Not sure about the name, but has Disney ever done a Superbowl teaser for a big movie? Did TFA or TLJ get a Superbowl teaser? They've done montages for Disney+ and maybe movies before, but not sure for a single movie.

 

I expect the full trailer to be out by the time Dr. Strange 2 hits, but I don't know if Disney has done some 30 second teaser for movies the Superbowl, especially considering NBC is charging some 6.5MM for 30 seconds this year.

[TomCruiseTop]

I'm betting on Avatar 2: The Way of Water right now.

[LPLC]

1022 pages about a movie that hasn't even been released yet. I wonder how many pages this forum will reach by the time the movie comes out in 11 months

[TomCruiseTop]

If you:

 

Call James Cameron 'Jim'

Are sure A2 will do over 2 Billies

Have talked about or thought about Avatar more than 10 times in the past 4 years

 

You have been infected by the language virus @IronJimbo and I have perfected, and you are well on your way to Pandora.

00:00 Black Widow
00:30 Fast and Furious 9
01:00 No Time To Die
01:30 Falcon and The Winter Soldier

wow I forgot so many movies had trailers. Wasted money. I wonder what trailers there'll be this year. Jurassic World 3 and Minions are the only sure bets.

Avatar 2, rated R for graphic fish sex. Cameron is pushing boundaries.

Already pushed the boundaries with the hair sex in the first film.

Assuming an early china release, something like $2.5 bil

 

Without it $1.8 bil

If I was making the bet right now, then yea something like what Jonah said. Around $1.8B WW-C or $2.5B with China.
