I will never watch Avatar 2. I won't watch the first one either it looks like one of the worst movies ever.

I'm still working on Avatar 1.
I did finally watch Fury Road last weekend. I must have been exhausted the first time because I really liked it. I hope it wins all the little statues.

I'll be seeing Avatar 2 when it hits the theaters. I thought the first one was good and still do. I've never said it sucked either.

Avatar 2 won't be ready in time? Suuuuuure.
Guess JC flinched.
Either that, or Disney caught wind of the delay before it was publicized.

No surprise here. They realise that Avatar was a flash in the pan type sensation, I think.

Jim Cameron is like life, he always "finds a way" to knock our socks off with each new movie. The general public doesn't really care about Avatar (at least in the US) but once that first trailer hits for Avatar 2 you *know* there's going to quite the "holy ****" factor. There always is with Cameron. Will the new film gross as much as the first? No way. Will it match TFA's domestic? No way. But I have a feeling that going forward the Avatar films will do better overseas and Star Wars will own the USA. And I'm sure Cameron and Fox will be just fine with that. I think the Avatar movies might turn out to be like Transformers, Fast & Furious, or POTC where no matter how good or bad they are they'll always hit a billion and just kill it worldwide. Obviously Disney will always covet having the highest grossing film in the world but Star Wars really is an American thing that is mostly for "us."
And that's fine.
Look at the quality of films on the adjusted for inflation domestic list. MUCH more prestigious classics than those on the unadjusted global list.
Domestic:
All Time Box Office Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation
1. Gone with the Wind
2. Star Wars
3. The Sound of Music
4. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
5. Titanic
6. The Ten Commandments
7. Jaws
8. Dr. Zhivago
9. The Exorcist
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
11. 101 Dalmatians
12. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
13. The Empire Strikes Back
14. Ben-Hur
Global:
All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses
1. Avatar
2. Titanic
3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens
4. Jurassic World
5. Marvel's The Avengers
6. Furious 7
7. Avengers: Age of Ultron
8. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt 2
9. Frozen
10. Iron Man 3
11. Minions
12. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Sure the bean counters will always want their movie on list #2 but list #1 is by far the more respectable company to be in. TFA will pass Dalmatians tomorrow (right now it's only $6 million behind) and actually has a shot at cracking the top ten.

I'd go see Avatar 2, but no way in hell I'd prioritize that over a Star Wars film, even if it's an Anthology. I could wait a month or so after release to watch the Avatar sequel. By then I may have seen Ep8 2-3x already

Gone with the Wind was out FOREVER. I think it might still be playing down south.

Interesting that Titanic has been the only film released after 1977 to ever crack the adjusted Top 10. TFA will have to earn another $85 million domestic to pass Snow White. It'll probably make another 20 or so this weekend leaving just $60ish remaining to take over the #10 spot. Right now it's $99 million behind The Exorcist.

Forbes alone has run over a dozen articles on how TFA's box office is measuring up to Avatar's. I suppose one of the world's biggest business magazines/websites is run by immature fanboys? If you can't handle a mature discussion about how history's most successful films compare to one another then you might want to look in the mirror.

Here we go personal attack...
Ho if forbes is talking about it wow then it must be very very important for me as a movie lover, as a lover of the art, of the craft, of the creativity then i guess.
All those articles about how much a movie does at box office or the politics behind are worhless White noise.
When a movie is a hit simpletons feel entitled "yeahhhh look at me im right i love this box office hit" who the f ù c k cares, its not like the money is going in their pockets yet Simpletons keep moanning with pleasure at every articles with numbers.
Maybe because they then think they are a l'art of that industry... Dunno... Never had a discussion about box office numbers with my friends... They love movies... Not the useless **** around them...
Bah! Enjoy simpletons.
