John Marston Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 This happens to almost every big blockbusters thess days: SM, ROTK, TDK, Inception, DH2, you name it. And it's going to be the same for TA and TDKR. Nowadays big films are always getting less "likes" as the time goes by.I still like Spider-Man, ROTK, TDK, Inception and Hallows 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 DH2 underwhelmed me, and I say that as someone who's been a Potter fan since 6th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I still love Inception, DH2 (it got better with repeat viewings) and TDK. Never was a big fan of Raimi's SM trilogy. I think the LotR trilogy is very good, but never loved any of them (my opinion never changed so I still think they are very good).The thing is, Avatar is definitely not as loved on the internet as films like TDK and Inception. Heck it wasnt even that loved even when it was still in the cinema. But, people sometimes take the voices on the internet too seriously and consider it the same as in the real life, and so some would believe since it's not that loved on the internet, it must be the same in real life.

Impact Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 I was not refering to the net-I've seen more love for it online then in real lfie Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Actually I am talking about people in the US, so it might be diffrent elsewhere. Now that's exaggeration. How many people are there in the US? You can't be talking about all of them right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, you can't just say me and quite a few people I know still love TDK, so it means it aged well for the people in the US, but we dont love Avatar like we used to, so Avatar obviously didnt age well in the US.

John Marston Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I noticed Avatar's DVD sales in the US were not that amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Intresting not a lot of blockbusters do have great DVD sales. (I find it funny how many flops have done better on DVD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 They were a lot better than Inception's. Does that mean that movie hasn't aged well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Gone with the Wind has not aged well-I don't know anyone under the age of 20 that loves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I noticed Avatar's DVD sales in the US were not that amazing.It pretty much doubled Inceptions DVD sales in the US, and is one of the best DVD seller since the collapsing of the DVD market, along with Toy Story 3. Both sold over 10m units.And of cause, we shouldn't forget its record breaking blu-ray sales right? Edited July 1, 2012 by vc2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) They were a lot better than Inception's. Does that mean that movie hasn't aged well?Inception sold about 6M copies and that made 292M while Avatar sold 10M and made 760M. Now I am not saying this means people didn't like Avatar or something but maybe it is a film many people feel they did not need to own or watch on the small screen. And someone brought up TS3, which sold more than Avatar yet was not as big a hit in theaters Edited July 1, 2012 by Shriekofthevulture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 TS3 was a big hit but it didn't make as much as Avatar (should have in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epazzini1 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 two years ago i think the avatar sequels combined cold gross more than 4 billions worldwide for the 2 sequels, right now i cant see more than 3 billions for the now 3 sequels planned.

And someone brought up TS3, which sold more than Avatar yet was not as big a hit in theaters The-Numbers.com Inception DVD Units Sold: 5,213,121 Avatar DVD Units Sold:10,504,571 If it's a film people feel they did not need to own or watch on the small screen, how the 10m+ units sales? Pixar always sells big in the DVD market, but taking TS3 out Avatar sold more DVD than any other films in the post DVD era. It clearly shows people love it whether it's on a small or big screen.

epazzini1 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 if cameron go ahead with the 3 sequels back to back the budget + marketing cold be more than 1.2 billions, make it difficult even to be profitable in the worst case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
