^ And Titanic made a few hundered million more in a 3d release a few years ago! Amazing. It's all Women loving it and dragging their boyfriends/partners and families for that.
Avatar was just such a huge leap in special effects. But I don't think it will keep that kind of value as a franchise. Meaning I doubt Avatar's 2, 3 and 4 will all make $2Billion+ each.

Star Wars has a chance to beat Avatar domestically. WW on the other hand is a bit harder to gauge. I think it might end up making Titanic figures when everything's said and done.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking as well.
But Playa's right it will beat Avatar domestically with a decent multiplier.
But to beat Avatar WW it will have to have pretty strong legs. Because Avatar had ridiculous legs but SW has the advantage of a much bigger opening.

Um, it's also a very good movie. I do like how you try to undermine that fact by just saying it's Star Wars.
Avatar is not an especially great movie and it is the most successful of all time(I think). Quality does not always correlate to success and vice versa.
Also do I follow you around telling you how biased you are for this film? No, because it's a movie and you're free to feel how you feel. Kindly get over, you'll be much happier.
Originally posted by AuraAngelI didn't follow you around. I read the page that you posted the only reason TFA is going to do well is because it's Star Wars. Everyone else was talking about numbers, you were lowballing it; so I chimed in.

And Yes, Avatar isn't a great movie but TFA is highly acclaimed by critics and GA.
And THAT'S The main reason it's doing well, because people like it.
The main reason Avatar did well was because people liked it. 👆
Star Wars is more iconic to film than anything Marvel could possibly produce and this is the long awaited return to form after the subpar prequels. It is not even a contest frankly and that's why I didn't bring it up(though of the two, I prefer TFA to AoU by a pretty wide margin).

While that maybe used to be true, Marvel has cracked the 1.3 billion dollar range several times now. They are printing money at the movies. It's obvious that people are more into comic book movies than ever before.Star Wars is more iconic to film than anything Marvel could possibly produce and this is the long awaited return to form after the subpar prequels.
