China had its own pandemic issues recently and contributed a much smaller portion of AWOW's box office than it did for the original.
Three $2 billion movies released in three different decades!!!That’s it it’s official over 2 billion.
Trades are forcasting a guaranteed leapfrog over IW and TFA where it will finally end its run at 4th freaking place only behind Titanic, EG and Avatar 1.
Absolutely freaking insane!
It just is.
Deal with it lol
Right now ironwez (left), wor-gar (middle) and buffinator (right) just got the 2 billion news..Three $2 billion movies released in three different decades!!!
This isn't just him having a hot streak like late 70's/early 80's Spielberg. 1997, 2009, and 2022 couldn't be more different in terms of audience expectations and preferences but Cameron still delivers the quality each and every time.
Sure Lucas directed ANH and TPM which both made bank in separate decades (still only two though, not three, and I'm not sure that TPM ever cracked the Top 4) but that's only because in 1999 SW hype was at an all-time fever pitch! Avatar had no such hype, just a new movie with a bunch of kids and a silly title and yet Cameron-still-does it-again...truly mindblowing.
Yeah, it probably still appeals to many kids - just not exclusively like it did in the 80s. I still see kids in the toy aisles at TARGET. The market just has to deal with the electronic competition.My nephew loves toys. I guess it’s just varies from kid to kid. Cause toys are still around movies are still being made to sell toys. It’s just kids have more access to so many things that toys aren’t the only thing to use for there imagination
And I haven't seen any of the 3 in theaters! I think the last Cameron movie I've seen on the big screen may have been T2. It might even have been Aliens. The kids started arriving in 1990, so movies were pretty much restricted to "date nights" and I rarely got to chose lol...Cameron has 3 of the 4 Top Movies ever! That IS insane.
And I bet you regret getting little wezy a Sega Genesis to this day!The kids started arriving in 1990
You can't regret something you didn't do! I never bought any game consoles for them. All of their gaming was done on PCs unless they were at a friend's house.And I bet you regret getting little wezy a Sega Genesis to this day!
That was just a dig at ironwez, lol.You can't regret something you didn't do! I never bought any game consoles for them. All of their gaming was done on PCs unless they were at a friend's house.
Lol . I can answer that. If we are talking 90s then the Disney movies that came out played a big part in childhood. The pt was early 00s we had so much content to go along with the Star Wars universe leading to ROTS.That was just a dig at ironwez, lol.
In all seriousness what were the defining movies of their childhoods? Toy Story? Schumacher Batman? The PT? Woof, rough time to be born, cinematically speaking, lol. At least they had Harry Potter, LOTR, Spider-Man, and POTC as they headed into their teens.
Jurassic Park was definitely it for my son (although we made him wait until he was 7), then probably The Matrix. And my daughter wore out the VHS copies of all the Disney movies back then like The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, etc., etc.. But as she got older it was more about TV - BTVS (obviously), Alias, Veronica Mars.That was just a dig at ironwez, lol.

Some of the greatest movies were made in the 90s. Tmnt 1990 and Jurassic park. Toy Story.
Lol I honestly can’t remember them all except for the ones that stick with me but during that time it was Disney and dinosaurs that revolved around me. I think til about 5. I wasn’t big into superheroes until preteens. Yes I watched the Batman movies but back then superheroes were seen as stuff for kids do I grew out of Batman for a short period of time.Congrats! You named them all.
Actually, you can add T2 and The Matrix.
The 90's were surprisingly devoid of really great movies. It had a lot of trash that became a generations "nostalgia" -- like the Batman movies, The Mask, Speed, being the popular ones. But it was so diluted with 50-60-70's TV shows reboots, corny female-driven "thrillers" and wannabe quirky film-making that its hard to find the gems. And there are not that many. Compared to the 80's, it is a very short list.
For me, the 90's started with T2... then Jurassic Park... and ended with The Matrix. Honorable mention to The Usual Suspects. The Disney cartoons in that time were also exceptionally well done. Until Hercules. Fortunately, Pixar picked up the mantle and ran with it.
