Bilbo 3,709 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Yeah even if people don't expect much from Avatar 2 you'd be crazy to go up against him. Saying that if nobody bothers with it wouldn't it be great to have your film as the alternative? There's rumours of Hanthology getting moved to December 2018. Cameron v Star Wars could be an interesting battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I feel like Star Wars is the only thing that could possibly go up against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Frankly I think fans of both franchises will simply go out and see both movies. I dunno if one will really hurt the other . The bigger concern is fighting IMAX screens, I suppose. It's also possible Avatar 2 could bomb. I know the original made a crazy amount of money and a lot of people loved it, but it doesn't seem like the franchise (if you can even call it that) has really endured much in the ensuing 7 years (which will be 9 years by the time the sequel opens). We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. It won't make anywhere near the amount the first one did. If it's not a superhero film or Star Wars it's basically a risky investment.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Maybe if they release it in virtual reality retroprojection format, it'll make more money than the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Yup. Avatar will be remembered as little more than a footnote in film history for its financial success, and the 3D revolution it brought on. But it's not a film that people will be wanting to see again in the future. And I can't see much of a franchise with the same concept. At least not one that will share the same financial success of the first film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Each one of the Hobbit films made less than the last! And in today's industry, if you're making a blockbuster with that kind of budget, not making a billion = a loss. Besides, that wasn't my point! In 10 years, no is going to be playing any of The Hobbit films at home. No one is going to be playing that again in the cinema (unless PJ -God forbid- makes the Silmarillion happen). That reverence will likely stay with LOTR, but not the Hobbit! It never got into the cultural zeitgeist to that degree. The same goes for Avatar. Everyone rushed to go see it in the cinema. Hardly anyone I know ever watches it at home. It'll be irrelevant and "redundant" when the next big technical film comes over. Cameron's other hits on the other hand, will continue to live on.

Naïve Old Fart 9,550 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 While we are (sort of) on the subject of AVATAR, I have a QQ, to wit: If the nasty corporate people are trying to wipe-out the indigenous population, by mining the planet for all it's worth, why do they need Humans to "infiltrate" them?
