I sense you're waiting for aXXo to hook you up
Absolutely not. I resist the tug of the sheeple mob mentality, especially when it comes to supporting a crummy, overhyped CG-fest. I probably won't even watch it on DVD now because of the nausea inducing love-fest this movie is receiving. Nice try though. "Prophecy"...ha!
Wow. Revisionist fanboi much? Yeah, because every commercial break, we aren't spammed by Avatar ads, by McDonald's EAT A BIG MAC GO SEE AVATAR NOW! ads, etc. During any given hour of TV, you are guaranteed to see: a regular Avatar ad, an Avatar video game ad, and an Avatar/McDonald's ad.

No, that was District 9.
Seriously, I have no interest in this film. Maybe it is the nausea inducing quantity of commercials, or it could just be that I despise CGI-porn (see Star Wars - Episode One). Either way, the commercials haven't convinced me that the plot would interest me.
Yeah, you too.snip
you have never seen the movie therefore your opinion of the movie is completely worthless.

It's hard, but Avatar relies HEAVILY on overseas. It really depends how Avatar picks up as a domestic. It's not looking like a sprinter like TDK, and has the characteristics of Titanic. If you're optimistic, you could say week 5 it'll have MLK holiday to boost it, and then it'll have the Feb Oscars boost kinda like Titanic did, but to go 18 weeks without theaters dropping will be TOUGH. Titanic ran 18 weeks with theater counts increasing. Avatar was a huge release, and they're cutting theaters for this weekend already.
BTW, I should say it's most likely Avatar runs between a 30-35% dropoff given previous blockbusters' trends.
titanic was really strange in the way it earned its money. there simply weren't any big movies that came out after it for a couple months and it sat at number 1 for a long time. didn't make a ton of money each week but it just kept going, getting an additional ~$25 million a week.
do you think avatar is going to get a big oscar boost?

I don't give a rats ass one way or another. By the way all these basement dwellers are defending this movie I am starting to think this is some nerdy ass movie. I haven't even seen a preview.
James Cameron weaves stories that envelope you in his world. Terminator, Terminator 2, The Abyss, Aliens, True Lies even.. all of them make you care about the characters and what happens to them. You become a part of their lives in the world they live in.
Anyways, haters gonna hate. :awe:
It's popular because they marketed it as THE MOST POPULAR MOST EXPENSIVE MOVIE EVER MADE. THIS MOVIE WILL MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ANY IN HISTORY for months before anyone even knew what the film was about. Like so much in Hollywood it became a self fulfilling prophecy.

I didn't even know who James Cameron was till you posted this.
Now we know you're just trolling. That movie was basically the Twilight of its day and the only people who watched it were emotionally broken women.The only good movie on that list is Titanic.

Titanic and Avatar are his crown achievements in this regard. People weep for what happens to Jack and Kate as well as Sully and Neytiri. People may dismiss the films as pop culture banality, but they are actually some of the finest amalgamations of emotion infused into film. He drags you kicking and screaming into a fantasy world and makes you care about 8 ft. aliens and their planet.
