>The long awaited James Cameron sequel to the highest grossing movie of all-time hit tracking this morning with a projected opening of at least $150M. Tracking has it higher near $175M, but rivals are bullish at $200M.
>Here’s the thing — the pic is being comped against holiday fanboy titles, and the numbers that are being seen need to be taken with a grain of salt. Avatar isn’t a front-loaded opening weekend fanboy movie, it’s one that will play and play. A $150M opening is 95% ahead of the original 2009 title’s $77M.
>Everyone is going nuts over Avatar: The Way of Water forecasts because the unaided awareness (that indicator which measures those polled mentioning their want-to-see of the title without being prompted in a poll) is in the high 30s to 40s across all demos including Latino and Hispanic and Black. These are powerful figures which any studio would die for.

lmao this hack homosexual is gonna kill himself when this flops. at least he will have lots of free time to rewatch rings of power since he loves it so much.
I just don't see how this doesn't flop. you ask any homie on the street what Avatar is and they're either too young or don't remember it.
still betting against james cameron after all this time?
true lies is overrated as frick too. fricking b plot hamfisted into the a plot and the comedy elements ruin the tension of the movie. gay as frick.
>A $150M opening is 95% ahead of the original 2009 title’s $77M.
what the frick does this mean. 77m is like 106m today
150 / 77 = 1.95
now do it with 106m
1.42
dont you have a calculator?
>not 200M
No chance it makes 2B and beats the first, Avatar 4 and 5 won’t see the light of day
Huh? That’s not very good.
just because the first movie was successful doesn't mean this one will be.
zoomers have never even heard of avatar and everyone that saw the original is too old to give a shit now.
that being said I only torrented the first movie and it sucked
i wouldnt say it sucked but it was aggressively mediocre especially from someone who has made classics in the past
>I only torrented the first movie and it sucked
then you suck
Avatar is big 3D cinema experience not movie you play on your poorgay little laptop screen
hey James, I hope your stupid cartoon fails and you realize no one gives a frick about CGI anymore.
Wrong. Great movies like Lawrence of Arabia or even T2 are meant to be big theater experiences but are still very enjoyable on the home TV, because they have good stories, characters, scenes and music. Avatar had the 3D wow factor but very little else.
>Lawrence of Arabia
you don't watch movies like this on small laptop either, get some proper projector home setup or die
I said home TV. If you can't enjoy Lawrence of Arabia on a 55" tv then you are pretty jaded.
If you can't enjoy a movie even on a 4in screen then the movie is trash
Yeah, why have interesting characters, a good story with something to say in both its dialogue and cinematography when you can have
>le cinematic experience aka cgi and loud noise and explosions
You're literally a capeshitter.
here not a capeshitter
watched Avatar in cinema
plot was simple but I wasn't bored nor didn't expect some super depth of characters or plot twists, enjoyable blockbuster. New Top Gun is also enjoyable blockbuster is similar way, simple but fun
Maverick was far better written.
Top gun was a generic jet movie, one of dozens in those same couple years, with the usual story of america vs bad guys and always triumph. Maverick was the exact same movie just with fancier special effects. You're moronic
Maveric was good fun action flick without much bullshit
But other than kino flying jets scenes story was bland and romance scenes were pushed just to be there without any depth or sense, still great summer flick I enjoyed
literally looks old and busted and not frickable anymore.
even CGI where characters supposedly can stay young forever is not save from Roastiedom.
she's a mother of 5 now
and 15 years older than in first film you chud
>zoomers have never even heard of avatar and everyone that saw the original is too old to give a shit now.
Top Gun succeeded
but.. but.. muh avatrar2 will fail because I say so
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Top Gun was a cult classic and starred Tom
Cruise, dishonest comparison
Nobody gives a frick about original Top Gun. Nobody. Maverick was such a success simply because it's a great film released in one of the shittiest periods in Hollywood history.
moron tier take. Top Gun is a classic property and Maverick got extremely strong word of mouth from fricking boomers when they found out it was a fun movie without any white people bad politics. My mom made me go see it with her. No one cares about Avatar.
>Maverick got extremely strong word of mouth
This is everything you needed to say. Movie was simply good. Avatar 2 will live or die on script quality. They can't ride the 3d meme this time.
>blue aliens
vs.
>top gun and tom cruise
sure they will have the same impact
The actual story of Avatar so boring that all people are discussing about this movie is the potential box office? Is Jake Sully and Pandora that uninteresting? You’re all more invested in potential profits you’ll never get a dime of.
When does the world open the box?
the cyberpunk premise is interesting, of jacking in to the treenet and getting a new body. it's just that everything surrounding that premise is gay treehugging nonsense
Scorsese was right, obsession with box office is killing movie discussion
Who the FRICK is Jake Sully?
Avatar was all about the visuals. Characters were shit and plot was mediocre.
They'll do it again mark my words
Cruise knows, he's so convinced of this movie he kicked mi-7 back to summer 2023, leaving December-january all to Avatar
Eh we'll see. Cameron never failed before.
based
frick the haters
it's Avatar year you zoomer gays
>long awaited
By who besides Cameron and some Disney executives?
I was planning to see it in imax but it's sold out everywhere
>it costs too much, it takes too long, people stopped caring. It will bomb HARD.
They said that about T2, Titanic and Avatar
I never have had these urge to watch avatar 1. Also never have I ever encountered a single real human that has told me “dude you have to watch avatar it’s amazing”
Seems gay as frick
dude you have to watch avatar it’s amazing
>Also never have I ever encountered a single real human that has told me “dude you have to watch avatar it’s amazing”
it's because you were 5 years old in 2009. Hype and word of mouth was massive.
Dude. Hear me out. You HAVE to watch Avatar.
I'm shocked that the original only opened to $77 Million, but I guess it did have amazing legs. Will the new one do as well? Seems like with the new MCU films everyone rushes out to watch it on opening weekend so they don't get spoiled then it drops off a cliff, and everyone who didn't see it gets spoiled so they have no reason to go. Every MCU film is just an ad for upcoming MCU films so actually watching them is unnecessary. Avatar was an experience that you had to see, if the sequel can get some of that juice it'll be a phenomenon.
it might have opened in a smaller amount of theaters than normal, mostly IMAX, and then expanded, not sure though
According to BoxOfficeMojo it opened wide to 3,452 theaters. It had only a 1.8% drop in its second weekend. I don't think the sequel will have legs that good but even a 40% drop would be exceptional in the current climate.
it was a snowstorm weekend
>That placed second to 2D I Am Legend‘s $77.2M record for best December debut ever at the domestic box office.

Reddit newbie

Disney is betting everything on this flick I see, long time since I saw this much disney shilling
>highest grossing movie in history has fans? No way. Must be shills
homie, we have daily avatar threads for years on this board. Cinemaphile loves avatar
>people are desperately shilling a movie coming out? from a company infamous for their aggressive shilling and that's on the brink of collapse? nah it can't be shilling because... it just can't okay?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Eh I give it 1.2 to 1.6 billion total run. Unless movie is really great.
1.5B is floor anime kun
We'll see. Times changed. People are tired of le defend environment humans bad crap everywhere.
Projections. What do they mean? Nothing, only reality matters.
Billies
Do people really think it was good that it warranted no discussion until a few years back with the Ukrainian guy? I would just lurk the threads when it comes out or when the avatar/James Cameron defense force quiets down.
Literally know no one who is going to see this. No one cares about a squeal to a tech demo.
you know all of us though. half the board will be going to see it

The Way of Water
>Guy who shilled Death Stranding said it was good so it must be good.
delusional propaganda to create artificial hype for this subhuman floating turd.
Camerondrones and Kojimadrones are two sides of the same coin. They shill and suck off a hack and over hype the shit out of soulless slop.
A successful Avatar 2 in my view will be like Temple of Doom. It begins with action set pieces till the very end.
