BadAtGender Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Look at AVATAR, just crushing TA's and JW's summer weekdays in the dead of February. Even the massive 3D boost can't account for the discrepancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) JW and TA were in 3D too, senor. Except by this point of their runs they weren't still making 80% of their revenue from 3D tickets as Avatar was. It was a beast in that format. TA1/JP4 around 50% on opening weekend but by this point of their runs they're barely on any 3D screens and probably less than 20% of their revenue comes from 3D.

BadAtGender Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 JW and TA were in 3D too, senor. Yes, I know. Which points to more in favor of Avatar's legs, really. Its daily attendance was just absurd at that point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Will FURY ROAD get to $152m? I think so, but it's gonna be a slog. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Their fault for not utilizing the format as well. 3D or not, Avatar still destroyed them on attendance at this point. Take out a 25% dollar boost from 3D and Avatar would be around $2.2m adjusted for inflation. Take out a dollar boost of 4% for 3D from JP4 and it would be around $890,000. So yeah, Avatar selling around 2.5 times as many tickets at the same point of each run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennaJ Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It will be very interesting to see how Avatar 2 performs... test the theory of how much of Avatar's success was due to the novelty of 3D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows though, Cameron might find the next gimmick to juice the heck out of his movie's gross. Maybe he will find a way to make HFR look a lot better than it did with Hobbit and people will be blown away by it like they were with his version of "shot in 3D" compared to all the crappy converted 3D we've seen in the last 5 years.

a2k Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Avatar 2 is gonna come after such a long time. 8 years...wonder how many folks in GA are still interested. Cameron and new tech for Avatar 2 Cameron is keeping his lips pretty tightly sealed in regards to just what his new technology will bring to the table in Avatar 2, but he did enjoy teasing us with a few key details: the new devices in development will help him film with motion-capture underwater—a feat that has yet to be accomplished. Additionally, Cameron expects there to be improved facial expressions, with the inclusion of updated motion-capture technology. Lastly, a new system for lighting is said to be in development, with the ability to light up large parts of Pandora’s jungle in ways that it couldn’t before. http://clapway.com/2015/07/19/avatar-2-the-new-technology-invented-for-its-creation-223/ Edited July 28, 2015 by a2k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
