Those blockbuster was aimed to meet fan boys's demand. The girl's needs was completely ignored by the time. When titanic released in 1997, it combined an old-fashioned tragic love story and spectacular visual effect, the hybrid to approach adopted by James Cameron was extremely successful as US and audience across the world are eagerly thirsty for a new generation iconic couple, which was unseen for more than 3 decade. Even until now, when we talk about the iconic couple on the sea, the general public will still talk about the tale on titanic, not to mention that immensely popular themed song-titanic. The titanic's success is largely attributed to the girl's power, that's not much films that filled with feminist element able to storm box office. Please be aware: a lot more females do not (at all or mostly) like romance nor drama than you seem to assume. And there are males, who prefer romance and/or drama over 'explosions'. Stereotypes...

Er Titanic was hated for a lot of years, on the internet at least. Its only over the last few years that people would admit how good it was, especially guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean everything above 1B is totaly insane. I guess 2.5B Dom is the celling cause then every american/canadian would have seen the movie (Even the litle babys) That would be 3.5B. Minus $20m for prison inmates but the repeat viewings will make up for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, my wife came home and immediately asked when we were gonna see SW again. I started looking for seats at good theaters over the next several days and everything is taken. Finally found decent seats at the Arclight Hollywood Dome the day after Christmas, at least we can see it in Laser-3D. QT is getting fucked. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the hype, sws failed to beat jps os opening. Epic fail. Needed that domestic and more territories and running at more times to even squeeze by jps ww opening record .Best look at the whole picture. Lol. Avatar and titanic hold ww. Meltdowns are going to be epic when Avatar 2 takes the domestic and ww maxes even further in 2017. Can carry 2 beat force awakens by 1.5 to 2b plus overall is going to be the question. Love it Can dream even keep the momentum after force awakens. Lol. Better wakeup my crazy Jedi's.

If SW7 gets to around $1.1 Billion domestically, Avatar WW is definitely in play. A 40/60 domestic to overseas split would give the movie $2.75 Billion WW at that point.

Beside, even in general terms I do think the percentages / impression is off, but that does also take those into account who do not even go to a cinema ( = sadly the fast majority of e.g. the US population) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 How can a film that crushed the domestic and world wide box office be a fluke? Was it a fluke that Avatar had a 10x? Revisionist history is veddy veddy bad Jerry. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyxx Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 9 hours ago, VenomXXR said: Haha definitely. Of course Guardians isn't on Star Wars level but since the first one was maybe Marvel's best film and had great WOM, I imagine it's going to do amazing business ($130 million OW, $400 million domestic if it's on the originals level) which isn't something even Star Wars wants spillover from due to such a close date and similar content. If they're dead set on leaving Star Wars for Memorial weekend (I believe they are especially since it's the 40th anniversary of the franchise) then switching GOTG 2 with Thor 3 would make the most sense to me for both brands. Why compete with yourself? lol Thor 3 is not going to be ready for a May release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
