2 billion looks easy at this point.

He did not direct that. Your knowledge sucks.

People saying that Avatar 2 would suck and that he was washed up as a director.

lol

Cavil is vastly overrated. If he's going to cause so much fuss or so much fuss is being caused because of him, CAST SOMEONE ELSE.

Release date: December 16, 2022 (USA)
Director: James Cameron

Based on the 2.5 multiplier, Avatar 2 only has to make $625m to break even.

thats one steep drop off...lol

It has very little competition for the next two months, so it might luck out in crossing a Billion, but yeah I don't think it will go much further than that.

You're underestimating the foreign haul. It's been out less than week and it's already made more internationally than The Batman and BP2. And it'll catch DS 2 in that category over the weekend. It'll take a bit longer to reach Top Gun 2's foreign haul, but it will.

Its an American thing I guess. I dont get it but its been a thing here for a long time. On really bad movies people will get up and leave super fast. On good movies people will stick around for the credits and talk about it.

You sound like a robot or an emotionless Vulcan.

It's a rare thing in the US, which I've only witnessed a couple times. and by a small portion of the audience. It's As
hardly a common practice. As far as the people they are clapping for not being in attendance, it's really no different than cheering for a sports team you're watching on tv, which I absolutely know Europeans do.

i literally watched movies in theaters every single day from 2016 to 2019 and not ONCE did I witness people clapping at the end of a movie. The only times I've ever seen it are for The Polar Express (middle school field trip, made sense), Star Wars: Episode 7, and Avengers: Endgame.

Interesting... I see a lot of footage of foreign cinemas filled with people whooping and cheering to an extent far greater than anything I've witnessed stateside. I have even experienced this myself during trips overseas. An audience in Copenhagen applauded at the end of a film, as did one in the Prague.

How is stating my opinion biased? Based on the current numbers I think it will hit $2b. Using logic, math and facts Avatar 2 will start making a profit around $650m, although that number might change based on the facts. Just because you like BP2 and think Avatar 2 is a juvenile movie doesn't mean it will flop. People went to see BP2 because Chadwick died. It was the same phenomenon when Furious 7 was released.

It's his M.O. No amount of fact or logic is going to sway him.

Here is Filmbuff's "facts" and "math".

Looking at the revenue we can directly track, i.e. ticket sales, we can see that the film has so far earned in its first 20 days:

Domestic ticket sales: $374,279,837
Disney gets 65% of that: $243,281,894

International ticket sales: $308,564,937
Disney gets 40% of that: $123,425,975

That's $431,990,912 in revenue from ticket sales alone. Add in $100,000,000 from the corporate partners, which is certainly far less than it actually got, and we see:

Cost to make movie: $250 million
Cost to promote movie: $100 million (at most)

Earned so far: $532 million

Profit after 20 days: ***$182 million***

---------------------------------------------------

After 24 days:

Domestic Ticket Sales: $393,724,077
International: $339,300,000

Disney's cut:

Domestic: $255,920,650
International: $135,720,000
Total Net from Ticket Sales: $391,640,650

Well over the cost of making the film, even if the exaggerated figure of $250 million is true.

Even if you subtract $37 million in TV ads, which certainly was covered from the sponsorship income, the film has still made ***$104,640,650*** so far, with much more to come.

Profit after 20 days: ***$182 million***
After 24 days: ***$104,640,650***

Somehow the movies profits went down after 4 days. And I am the one with no credibility. Sure. 🙄



The $37 million was from the first Black Panther.

Feb 22, 2018 — Walt Disney spent significant media dollars on national TV advertising for its Marvel action movie “Black Panther.” Over $37 million in

This is my favorite comment of all time.

That isn't how it works at all.

"The reported budgets are always inflated, partly to build fan interest, and partly to increase tax write-offs." However, if we take the $250 million at face value, then that's $250 million the film needs to earn to cover the cost of making it.


MartyDeniro and myself and dealing with a troll that just makes up numbers and percentages.
