To overcome the negativity is simply astounding to me. Avatar was working with a clean slate and it hit the 3D zeitgeist. TFA represents a comeback of epic proportions, restoring SW as the king of all movie franchises. Let's cease any debates over what will be the bigger accomplishment between the two box office behemoths. When TFA passes Avatar it will regain the throne the franchise so richly deserves. Maybe for Domestic, WW is not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Assuming a 247m ow SW needs a multiplier of 3.1 to overtake Avatar. In Dec, even with its mega huge ow, tough to imagine SW falling below that. Edited December 21, 2015 by a2knet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It deserved every last dollar it got. It's possible to like JW, TA, Avatar, and TFA at the same time. JW is a solid C. Too many characters to juggle, not enough characterization of said characters to make them memorable, too many unneeded plot threads (parent's divorce, torah borah raptors, uninterested baby sitter, creepy sex-crazed brother), poor internal logic (cell phones magically stop working on the most advanced island of all time, characters doing the dumbest thing they could possibly do only to propel the plot forward), the CG was overly-stylized which made it pretty campy in parts and they killed off probably the coolest character (the owner guy) in the lamest way possible. I'm not saying it's Plan 9 From Outer Space, but I'll tell you that in my view it really didn't deserve the money it got or the records. Small nitpick: the JP theme in the helicopter shot of the park was very poorly used. it lacked any emotional punch and just felt hollow. especially contrasting that moment with JP's first use of the theme...very poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
