Look am I going to see Avatar 2 OW? Assuming it comes out in my lifetime yes. But right now Marvel is King. Let it have it's day.

I would say Star Wars is science paranormal.

 

Telekenisis, telepathy, ghost, etc are all paranormal not necessarily magic.

 

X-Files and X-men aren't condidered fantasy either.

And I suspect a lot of science in "Avatar" is pretty questionable......

Avatar had an amazing box office run....9 years ago. The world has moved on seeing as how it's now been 9 years.

And fancy,elaborate CGI effects have become so commonplace that having them is no guarantee a film will be a huge blockbuster. If you don't like this week's huge CGI laden epic, wait till next's week,

 

Avatar 2 will have to have a much,much,better script then Avatar One. And ,even with a co writer, I an not convinced that Cameron can deliver. IMHO he might well be another

Stars Wars talking to the MCU

 

But yeah. Marvel back to being the true undisputed box office king

And Mickey Mouse does not give damn who wins this completion. He rakes in the dough no matter who wins.

to be honest TFA had a good run, what was that like 2 and a half years it held the record? Pretty good for amateurs

Remind me how many James Cameron films have held the opening weekend record? :hahaha:

Maybe we should wait for the actuals before celebrating.  It's a little close for comfort. 

The projections are within the 2 to 3% margin of error as to if IW will dethrone TFA.

What annoys me about the Cameron fanboys here is that they feel compelled to run down every other director except for James Cameron.

You think that there is a chance it goes down from 250? Even though it made 83 on Saturday and the Sunday drop is probably overestimated at a big 26.5% despite the fact that Sun will carry strong spillover and sellouts from Sat? Nah, it's almost a done deal at this point.

I'm not going to ask you to go out of your way to read up on Avatar but trust me when I say there's scientific thought behind everything you see in Avatar. Unobtainium is actually a science fiction trope, it's name originates from a real term used by engineers to describe any rare or hard to find material that has the properties needed to fulfil a given design. An Avatar is a Human/Na'vi genetic hybrid grown in tank that is genetically keyed to its respective human controller to allow for psionic link. The film asks the question "what it means to be human" through the Jake and his Avatar, a classic science fiction question. From the human technology to the Pandoran biology everything in Avatar has had thought put into it. We got interstellar space travel, Avatars, Na'vi USB-link (queue), eywa, transferral of consciousness, cyrotanks, mechs... it's all science fiction baby. Now if you want to pretend Avatar put little effort into the science as is pure space escapism like Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy you're (to quote @JamesCameronScholar) patently false.

I thought you were just joking before but now I realise that you truly are a James Cameron fanatic....

He's really a genius and a great role-model, work ethic like no other.

The thing is that Avatar is the creation of just one man, he has to do everything from design to the scripts, it's really a mammoth task he's taking on for the benefit of us mortals.


Also don't forget he's been busy with certain tasks like leading a team to design and build a submarine to dive deeper than anyone every before with Challenger deep, he drove it himself by the way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_Deep

Don't forget that lately he's been making more news for his opinions on certain spandex blockbusters that make him as relevant as Myspace.
