Avatar financially was a flop. $70M nowhere what execs where hoping for. In comparison, Twilight made $140M in a weekend. Double what avatar made:

'Twilight: New Moon' mania rakes in $140 million opening weekend - From Inside the Box - Zap2it

'Twilight: New Moon's' gross of $140.7 million puts it at third all-time for an opening weekend. It pulled in $258.8 worldwide, according to studio estimates

Don't forget, avatar cost 5x what new moon cost. Don't expect an Avatar 2

avatar was released on a really shitty weekend. week before christmas...seriously?
and the promotion for it wasn't not done right.

but to say don't expect an avatar 2 is retarded. you don't know how the film will do internationally or if box office sales might be steady as opposed to heavily sloped.

and i doubt the producers of the movie are using "new moon" as their basis for comparison. Especially since that POS movie built its brand through books and a really crappy movie before that. So no, that's a shitty comparison. lol. in business,it's about YOUR bottom line, not someone elses

seriously, GTFOH

lol @ flop.

Made $250 million worldwide in 1 weekend. A 3 hour movie...and the studios werent expecting more than $70-80 mil anyway. Titanic opened to a $28 million dollar weekend...but continued playing for 9 months.

All of Cameron's films have legs. Avatar will do perfectly fine.

Anyway, I saw it this weekend in 3d. Was pretty good, but not spectacular. Wife actually liked it more than I did. Worth the price of a ticket. Its a cliched story, but as Ebert always says, its not what a movie is about but how it is about it. Avatar gets the job done.

I'm with 75th. Saw it in 3D on Sunday. It lives up to the hype, special effects were awesome and in typical Cameron fashion he doesn't feature them as the focal point of the movie.

Predictable story-line but well done. Solid B.

Have not seen Avatar, but going today to see Invictus. My friends went to see it at IMAX they say it was great, I dont't believe it will do that great bit we will see.
