Movies

No. One. Cares. Ironic or not, it's true.

Posted by: skunkrunner on Apr 15, 22:14 in response to b4bad's post Do you see the irony of what you just wrote? Avatar is...

Where are the Avatar fan sites?

Where are the hordes of Navi cosplayers?

Where is all the Avatar fan fiction? Books? Toys? Memorabilia?

I'm not talking about when it came out 7 years ago, I'm talking about right now in the world of movie fans and scifi/fantasy geeks. Avatar is a non-entity in today's world. Maybe the sequels will impress the crap out of us all, maybe not. Until they do though nobody is all that enthused to see them at all. Whats funny is that most people needed to hear this sequel news to even remember Avatar even existed. Unless Cameron can come up with something truly spectacular, these new films are going to seriously underperform at the box office. I predict #2 will do less than 400, #3 less than 320, and #4 & 5 much less than 300.

And all of this coming from someone that loved the movie when it came out and saw it four times in theaters and bought the blu ray the day it came out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Box Office Analysts take on 4 Avatar sequels..I agree with these points..I think people are way under-estimating how big these films will be tomcat90 Apr 15, 18:30

Nope, Very few people care about these films or the its universe at all. {nm} skunkrunner Apr 15, 19:44

Do you see the irony of what you just wrote? Avatar is the highest grossing Boxoffice film of all time and it made a crazy amout on money on b4bad Apr 15, 21:41

No. One. Cares. Ironic or not, it's true. skunkrunner Apr 15, 22:14

Amen. And if the first sequel doesn't somehow improve on the memorability of the original, returns will taper sharply. {nm} CG63 Apr 15, 23:53

You Are Crazy If You Think Avatar2 Only Does 400M. {nm} loveman3 Apr 16, 04:26

I will go one step further and say it won't even beat BvS!!!! {nm} Bleachigo Apr 16, 06:40

test: name 3 characters from Avatar that are not Jake {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 16, 04:59

The blue one, the other blue one and the flying thing {nm} shadowking Apr 16, 04:59

YOU ARE CORRECT 3/3 {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 16, 10:43

Fandom makes up a tiny part of its overall box office. It's DVDs still sell like crazy. Moviesnob Apr 16, 09:37

The blu-rays are used by tv stores as tech demos. Nobody actually watches them. {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 16, 10:44

tv stores use dvds as tech demos? they must not sell a lot {nm} Moviesnob Apr 16, 11:50

I don't think any of those points have anything to do with how much the movies will make - if they actually get made. {nm} JDolphin Apr 15, 20:02

By the time these movies come out, the REALITY of the world will be different.... {nm} Malachi Apr 15, 20:25

tech improves on a daily basis. If the stories are worthy those two factors will give us 4 blockbusters, {nm} tradermark Apr 16, 00:52

the first story was wretchedly generic; only the effects and the new concept were attention-getting. Now the concept's not new. {nm} CG63 Apr 16, 10:22

Forbes Article from 2014 Wellespring Apr 16, 04:23

It was the first TRULY well made 3D movie, and that was the draw. That's the ONLY reason I saw it. Now there's no reason to see any sequel. {nm} Buckee Apr 17, 11:23
