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

talking about how cool the Terminator was in the late 80s (and these are probably the same people who are still waiting for another good Terminator movie 25 years later). I just don't see the same enthusiasm for Avatar, regardless of time. It didn't have the same impact on its generation.

Also, compare Schwarzennegger in 1991 with Sam Worthington in 2017.

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

Arnie WAS huge at that time, but there were constant reports about T2 re: budget busting, crew abuse and complaints, etc BSmurf Mar 10, 11:30

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
