If you were betting your house on it, what would the final boxoffice of Avatar 2 be? 

3.1B+ if I had to bet my house.

Looks like we might get that remaster soon:

 

Quote

Take this as you will, but I have an acquaintance who lives in New Zealand and is currently a prop maker for the Avatar sequels. He works for WETA doing practical effects. He was actually in Avatar as a scientist in the lab where the Avatar pods were kept. I’d rather not give his name because I haven’t asked his permission, but I can assure you I’m not making this up. He has worked with Cameron for many years going back to Aliens.
We have had many conversations about his work on the sequels, and I was asking him the same questions about how is Cameron going to ramp up the interest in the original film since it has been largely forgotten. Here is the reply I got from him:


“Well, from a conversation I had with Jim a few weeks ago, it sounds like the original Avatar will be re-released ahead of the sequels to get people back up to speed and bring in new viewers. There were a lot of sequences shot for it that were never completed (over and above the footage released in the Director’s cut) that may be added.
I have no doubt the new films will blow people’s minds. You have to remember what a paradigm shift in movie making the first one was. It became the highest grossing movie of all time for a reason and, unlike the MCU formulaic crap that’s built up a big following due to over 20 films up to End Game, Avatar stood on its own. The viewing public take it as read that a Cameron film will be epic and memorable.”

Believe me or not if you choose to, but I have factual proof that my acquaintance IS working on Avatar 2 and beyond, and I do believe what he is telling me. If this ends up being the plan, I could see Cameron re-rendering the whole first movie in 4K (or higher) for a newer cut to ramp up interest for Avatar 2.

A properly marketed global re-release/remaster with bonus footage (and sneak peek at Avatar 2) would bring the original over $3 billion WW.

An extension to the extended cut? That's interesting and a decent way to make seeing it an event again. Hope we get our first 4k/3d discs for this version (and the sequels).

If NWH can do $700M in DOM and bigger than Endgame in many western markets on power of Xmas/New Year, who are we kidding.

 

Cameron is gonna rule it again. Won't be surprised with 3 Billie.

 

Sorry King for being non-believer.

In your free time, you should work up how we get to 4 billies….

[JonahVex]

The absolute highest I can see this getting to is like $3.3 bil if everything breaks right:

 

Anything over Titanic/IW is good for me as long as the reception is good and they are on sched for 3-5

$750dom

$1.8 mil overseas

$750m china

And ? There's no 100% guarantee it will happen. Sometimes I wonder if people in this thread live in delusion. The more you predict big numbers the more disappointed you will be. 

[SchumacherFTW]

Pah, y'all betting houses. I'll bet the UK's GDP that it won't beat NWH

No, I didn't mean that. A bet of something that is not happening is dangerous. But, here Panda is betting with his home. (A house where he stay) Doesn't that a bit of craziness because if he lost the bet, he will be homeless. After all, Cameron should not be challenged.

 

Remembered when everyone was expecting a drop bigger than 50% on Avatar's 2nd Weekend (DOM) but the drop was only 1.8%

 

Just Remember He is Cameron. The God that ruled All-Time charts for decades, Even Russo brothers could not rule the chart for a year....
