most the people who rave about James Cameron in a positive light that i've met in real life have been Indian

 

You should tell Cameron to visit India for a lecture on movie making or something. He owes it. Indian public is fond of films he has directed and love avatar franchise.

Hearing France we are looking at 115-150+M.. Wow

SK should be very Leggy as well :), How is itdoing  in China Brother Bruce? 

Is Japan against Avatar or is something going on there? I rem someone posted the leaders didnt like the Whale message in Avatar 2, but have no clue if that was a joke or true??

I hope it can rebound in Japan.. Thats a nice territory for Cameron Epics usually.

Japan feels more like trending towards -35/30 atm. Ok hold I guess. It's not going to be a super leggy jp run nor was it even expected to be to be honest.

Seems a political block. Could a movie so huge be forgotten by a country that's always supported James Cameron. Looks fishy to me. 🤕

Avatar made like 170mil there in a.much smaller market?

 

Hopefully it hits at least the 40-50mil  mark . I can't believe TGM made a 100m and A2 is faltering.

.

No way Avatar 2 should be losing in Japan to a basketball anime. 😂 

Come on A2 at least get 30-40% of Avatars incredible 170m.

Heh.

Things that you are not aware of

 

1. 3D is no longer popular here since 2012

2. USD-JPY rates are at worst states

3. Japan isn't communist Country. There is free flow of information in/out -side the country.

4. Not a sequel favouring country.

5. Tom Cruise is a big name in Japan. Avatar 2 doesn't have a star cast. Cameron's name can't bring back audiences.

6. Demographics has changed a lot

7. Disney Film likely to get bombed because of their release strategy.

8. Local content are strong and top notch among the moviegoers

Avatar 2 will barely make ½ of SLAM DUNK

What an utterly embarassing rejection from Japan for Avatar 2. Almost on the level of Josstice League. I really wonder what went wrong. Did Cameron make racist statements against the Japanese?

[Agafin]

Can you imagine if France ends up being up the #1 international market for Avatar? If you'd told that to anyone even as recently as a month ago, they'd have assumed that the movie was banned in China.

 

When was the last time that France was the biggest international market for a major Hollywood movie?

Cant think of any off the top of my head but it would have happened with Avatar had it not been for the major breakout in China (going 4x the previous biggest film in China).

I mean, this is not the first time the Japanese have utterly rejected a sequel/follow-up. As bad as it is, Avatar's drop is still going to be better than the Hobbit's drop from RotK (-82%) and only slightly worse than Alice through the looking glass. The points given by Isaac Newton are probably all the explanation you need for this failure.  Japanese people have no personal problem with James Cameron as far as know, they were afterall huge fans of his previous movies.

after lightyear tanked in japan this year despite how big toy story was over there,i can't say i'm totally shocked, if little mermaid bombs over there then maybe disney is just done in that market in terms of making real money

[titanic2187]

The director fame can only bring you so far.....Every Hayao Miyaozaki film drop from their predecessor since their peak with Spirited Away.
