That is a very subjective word I would say that Titanic had the most impressive run of any movie at least in the past 30 years. It was number one at the box office for 15 weeks, made $600 million domestically in a time when ticket prices were much lower, and movies didn’t benefit from 3D or IMAX ticket sales, and made $1.2 billion overseas in a time when China was nowhere near the powerhouse market for movies that it is today.

Dirty dancing had the same effect albeit at smaller scale. Although at much much lower budget and talking about impressivenes - EG is first film ever to get WW crown without dom/os/china crown. For me that’s impressive. Like country winning olympics without any gold medal Edited June 27, 2019 by JimiQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if EG passes Avatar it's still less impressive than Avatar and considerably less than Titanic. In which ways are EG less impressive than Avatar?

EG made $2.7B+ in 9 weeks whereas Avatar required 34 weeks to gross that much... Avatar was kind of original IP or first movie which then went on to become highest grossing movie of all time but then Endgmae is 22nd movie in the long running MCU which beat Avatar's first run when sequels to movies nowhere grow as big and sequels generally don't hold WW crown that much. That itself is the proof of how Endgame is impressive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like 2 beautiful people that look completely different arguing about who is more attractive. Avatar fans will have to wait at least 2.5 years before they can validate their claims about just how impressive EGs run is. If Avatar really was so amazing and legendary in 2009 because of inflation with no other factors affecting it then it should do 3.5-4B in 2021. My thought is that will not happen nor will 3b.

WittyUsername Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Has anyone else noticed that there's now a Washington Post article for the #SnyderCut movement? https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2019/06/26/more-than-year-later-justice-league-fans-are-ramping-up-demands-releasethesnydercut/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.0896ad779e10 Does that officially make the movement mainstream?

cdsacken Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Honestly probably not. The movie was so mediocre that an extended cut will only make it slightly less shit. Special cut of Wonder Woman or Aquaman.....yes please. Justice League or BVS? Lipstick on a pig doesn't do much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special cut of Wonder Woman or Aquaman.....yes please. Justice League or BVS? Lipstick on a pig doesn't do much There is a lot of debate if a Snydercut is even doable at a reasonable cost...a lot of the unsued footage is "raw" footage with no post production done and might cost a lot to bring it up to releasable quality. If it ever does happen,it will end up like the Donner cut of Superman 2....more an interesting curiosity then an actual complete movie. And the cost will be well above anything that the Snydercult movement can raise. Warners will, in the end, have to pay for it and I think that Warners had decided they have lost enough on JL without throwing more money down the black hole. IWAPO often does stories on contemporary culture like this. They did a story on the Gloomhaven Board Game phenomenon a few months ago. Just because a major news organization does a story on a group does not make it mainstream. An awful lot of big news outlets do stories on crackpot groups, that does make the group mainstream.
