Grand Moff Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 This thread was hard to find. Did find it though finally! I agree with @That One Guy we will see Episode 8 beat Avatar's WW quite comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely in North America for the next 4-5 years until a franchise is created by a truly talented and visionary director. Cookie cooker re-hashes won't add to the greatness of your franchise.

So you're an Avatar apologist? How can you not think that E8 will obliterate it WW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Avatar is a shitty film, but TFA was 700M behind Avatar WW. That shows there's a high chance it wont beat it this time around. Maybe a new SW film in 15 years or so with 15 years worth of inflation could beat it? By then, WW appeal will be pretty big. Maybe even Episode IX if it catches on early enough.

RandomCat Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think I've found something more annoying than DCEU v MCU. SW v Avatar is perhaps even more pointless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it couldn't. TFA did introduce the franchise to the overseas market in a rather great way. As long as Ep.8 and RO perform decently overseas, it's very possible it could eventually beat Avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Sws (not ep 8 or 9) has a shot at Avatar, but remember the Avatar sequels will all be out. Avatar 2 will make over 700mil from China alone.
