discussion Avatar 2 needs to make 2 billion to break even at the box office

[Iceland]

I hope it bombs!

[BNF91]

Can't believe all these outlets really ran with this inaccurate story. No, it does not need $2B to break even. 

 

 

[AshleeSimpsonFan]

He (James Cameron) did it

[Matthew]

Never doubt King Cameron

Already coming for 2.5- 2.8 billion

Is anyone actually excited for these films?

The first one aged like milk and I only remember it being a huge event because the cgi at the time was "next level"

The Internet is funny. it only needs about $500 Million before it starts to make a profit. 2B is the WW gross it will probably make in it's entire run.

tho I feel like it's gonna be a major underperformance. the first was only a phenomenon because of the technology, 3D gimmick, and word of mouth for it's visuals at the time. I remember vividly going multiple times only because I was forced to by my parents. trust me nobody cared about the plot a year later. same with this. there is no hype, people are mainly going to see how good the visuals look.

The first one had a mediocre story 

 

Whatever miss Cameron is bringing to the table won’t be able to replicate the technological advancements of the first.

This is bull****, there's no way they allowed a budget of $250 million to be increased.

 

I can't shake the feeling this is going to be an underperformance though.

The first one smashed because the CGI and use of 3D was amazing. But all of that is old news nowadays. He took way too long for the sequel. 

 

Highly doubt the budget for one movie is that high. Maybe for all of them. 

 

I just read the article... WTF

I actually think the first sequel is going to smash. Never underestimate James Cameron. It didn’t take all this time for nothing. Not sure about the ones after that though. 

Even I feel stupid reading this back. Can’t imagine some other people in this thread….

Where did I lie? The second story is trash too and critically panned? Plus, this isn’t anywhere near as close to the first in terms of advancements.

For me it is the opposite, everyone I know has seen it and several even two times. People that I would least expect to like this type of movie or even go to the cinema started talking about how they've seen it.

Proof that ATRL is OUT OF TOUCH with reality. 

 

 

Not surprised since most of them rarely go outside and touch grass.
