Here's how the top 10 highest grossing films looked when Avatar was released, this is the monster you're up against.

Expect $4b.

[Ledmonkey96]

James Camerons filmography is pretty top heavy, Avatar and Titanic made a combined total of 1.4~bill domestic but the average of the 7 movies he directed (not counting the 2 IMAX releases is 'only 280mil dom. WW is a still impressive 872mil but IW 'only' needs to gross about 550mil more to get there.

They were all very successful except for The Abyss which broke even.

Also T2 and True Lies made a hell of a lot of money for their times, T2 actually was the first film ever to make over $300m overseas.

 

Jim was noted saying that The Abyss's love story wasn't cliche enough.

 

Lets not forget The Terminator made crazy profit due to it's tiny $6m budget

And here I am, realizing no one is talking about the latest installment of the best movie franchise ever, or I love it too much to see it as anything less, Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell.

Take the phenomenon that is Black Panther, double it's gross.

STILL CAN'T BEAT AVATAR

 

 

 

I'm laughing. Jim is a monster.

When they're not busy saving the universe, it turns out the original Avengers are getting matching tattoos.

And the DCEU actors just get tattoos from Margot Robbie.

Oh sure, just ask him about superhero movies. He proves his current cultural relevance with his answers.

Good job we're not on the cultural relativity forums then isn't it.

Outdone Avatar by 1B+

 

selective comparison at it's best I might say

 

If Avatar in 10 years is still the highest grossing movie it will be know as the "Big 3D movie that made a lot of money"

Yeah it takes combining 6 different franchises (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, GOTG, Spider-Man) to beat 1 Avatar. You just proved their point.

My point was never to prove them wrong. Avatar is at the top of BO. The point was that we can do selective comparisons so Avatar can look even bigger.

 

The other point that stands still , which Jumbo ignored is that Avatar is still and will be "Big 3D movie that made a lot of money" and nothing more

It's the HIGHEST GROSSING MOVIE OF ALL TIME

 

Calling that 'nothing' on a box office theory forum is absolutely insane.

I'm confused are we referring to the 3 Oscars Avatar won, or the 3 Oscars Jim individually won for Titanic?

@aabattery

 

Come on this is getting ridiculous. Cameron-related discussion now contributes (over) half of the total activities in this thread. And it sure looks like it will be that way till Avatar 2 release.  And yet it only counts as "etc." in the thread title?

 

You want fanboy wars? How about honoring the biggest fanboy on this site IronJimbo, by adding Cameron to the thread title.
