Arnie WAS huge at that time, but there were constant reports about T2 re: budget busting, crew abuse and complaints, etc

Not all of the buzz was "good" leading up to the actual reviews/release.

Lots of "this film cost more than any other to date" & "can it live up to the hype/cost" angle stories pre-release.

Again, underestimating Cameron is what has been done his entire career. Evem the 1st Avatar did not open huge, but it had legs and legs and legs.

then I guess Han Solo Star Wars film will probably move to Dec 2018.... {nm} Peterlee Mar 10, 06:27

IMO Star Wars is having great luck with the holiday season and should just own that, instead of pushing into overcrowded summers {nm} CG63 Mar 10, 13:19

at least we got It's A Small World (Avatar style) and Tom Sawyer's Island (Avatar style) at Disneyworld (that nobody was asking for)! {nm} RazorHawk Mar 10, 06:53

Domestically at least, I have to question how much interest there is in this anymore. It'll now be at least 10 years since the first film... ~JPV~ Mar 10, 06:57

By that logic, Terminator 2 should have been a flop {nm} BSmurf Mar 10, 07:50

The industry has changed in the 25 years since its release. But again, as I said, it is James Cameron so I'm not going to underestimate him {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 10, 07:53

*Sorry, 26 years. {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 10, 07:54

Not really though - there was avid interest in the Terminator universe, while (I think) less so in the Avatar universe. People were still RogerMore Mar 10, 09:43

also, the T2 was revolutionary in the level of digital effects use. other than the water creatures in Abyss, had literally never been seen {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 10, 11:51

Their link source is The Star: JCAME "2018 is not happening." Antibody Mar 10, 07:57

JCAME is a perfectionist, so the delay sucks if you trade ROI, but the more time he takes, the better odds of a more amazing experience IMO {nm} tomcat90 Mar 10, 09:16

PETS2 recently moved its release back a full year and after a one-day event went right back to where it was {nm} tomcat90 Mar 10, 09:18

i saw Avatar. i know this is not true {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 10, 11:52
