Movies

Fandom makes up a tiny part of its overall box office. It's DVDs still sell like crazy.

Sure it can still bomb but not because there's no nerd culture around it

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

i don't {nm} slipping jimmy Apr 15, 19:10

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

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
