GiantCALBears Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 3 minutes ago, Dark 33Legend of the Sith said: It's fine to have a negative opinion about any film. Everyone is entitled to it. But it seems to me if I hated a movie that was crushing everything in it's path, from a box office record standpoint, I would state my opinion once or twice and give credit where it's due from the box office standpoint. I wouldn't try to continue to crash the party over and over again and be Mr. Buzzkill over and over again. This is approaching a billion domestically. If you say a movie that is reaching this heights is only reaching this level because of fanboy repeat viewngs (instead of mass appeal) then you are either massively out of touch-or a troll. People are going to be going crazy cheering it on as they should be to witness such a historic event. I don't see the joy in repeating the same negative tone over and over again. It has sore loser written all over it and it doesn't look good. Just my opinion. How can you hate on the BO run? Same thing I've been saying about Avatar? People need to separate the quality of the film from their own analysis of the gross which has been nothing short of a phenomenon (so far). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, but if he starts doing it now for every film in the future I think its reasonable. I can't fault him for when he decides to change his standard, its okay, IMO, for an extreme situation like this to incite the change. BUT if he's not consistent in the future then its an issue. From this point on it shouldn't be a TFA-exclusive thing for him. If it is, then I agree with your disapproval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love them or hate them, the box office was crazy good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar's legacy may not be holding up well outside of the big screen over the past 6 years but while it was going on it had a MASSIVE pop culture effect over the 2 months it was #1. Clearly hasn't endured like some were hoping, you are right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying it should have been that big. I was saying if rabid fanbases determined BO gross then it would have been a 2b grosser. It was a joke dude, apparently it didn't come across right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not closest. It's practically the same -5.8%. It's a great hold, really don't see how you can say anything else. I think there is a decent chance we see a small bump today.

I think that's because Avatar on the TV doesn't pop like it did in theater, it goes from being an amazing immersive experience to a really good sci-fi action movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
