Variety: James Cameron confirms that AVATAR will now 'easily" turn a profit and "looks like I have to do these other sequels" notfabio Jan 06, 11:10

[AVATAR 2] {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:10

From the same interview: "I just hope HSX doesn't create unrealistic expectations by pricing AVAT4 and AVAT5 too high." (Joke, obvs) TheWeekendWarrior Jan 06, 11:13

Flash forward, AVATAR 3 "only" opens to 175 million.... {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:15

I think you should put that prediction in concrete cause you might be close :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 06, 11:16

IPOing AV4 and AV5 on back to back days would create a nice bloodbath on here {nm} Peter453 Jan 06, 11:19

What could mess with things a bit is if #3 really is 9 hours long, he may split it into 2 or even 3 films by itself. {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:25

If I had to bet, I'd go with splitting into two with extended editions. (I'm also expecting an extended edition of #2 at some point) {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:31

9 hours will be for streaming not theatrical {nm} Moviesnob Jan 06, 11:31

Think they'll at least do extended editions for IMAX like the first, but haven't heard how much was cut out of #2 {nm} notfabio Jan 06, 11:36

Apparently a 10 minute action scene was cut that he felt over-glorified gun violence, so unsure he would add that back.. notfabio Jan 06, 11:50

Well, that brings it down to 8 hours and 50 minutes! :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 06, 11:54

then it would be a one off, theaters cant really do 9 hour movies easily. {nm} Moviesnob Jan 06, 11:59

not 9 hours but alamo had to "air out" the theater for basically a day after Butt Numb a Thon (24 hours) {nm} Moviesnob Jan 06, 12:11

To be fair, that was pre-COVID. Now, they'd literally have to knock down that Alamo location and rebuild it from scratch. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 06, 12:15

(Sorry for the double post... sometimes happens with my funk wifi) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 06, 12:16

Did Cameron apologize for his current release's dismal (438, or was it 439) box office? {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jan 06, 12:14

chop chop...get back to it James! {nm} tealfan Jan 06, 12:36

Worth noting he said "I know what I'm doing for the next 6 or 7 years" = he isn't going to be done until 2029/2030 (#5 is currently 2028) notfabio Jan 06, 12:50
