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

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

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
