'Avatar 2' needs to make $2 billion at the box office to break even.

All of this is currently resulting in lower-than-expected weekend projections, which will hopefully correct by Christmas Day Sunday. Already, business will be down around a daily average of -50% on Christmas Eve Saturday as is typical for that day’s business.

Lower than expected is a flop lil bro

 

[Warren Peace]

this is probably gonna end at 1.5 billion

I'd say 1.75-2 billion is probably right for this movie since it really doesn't face competition

As for the original comments... He made them YEARS ago, and I'm pretty sure was only referring to domestic. I think it needs 800-1bil to break even

But...... they made BOTH Avatar 2 and 3 together, which is why the budget is so high. so realistically the "break even" budget is going to easily be made by this movie, then the VAST majority of the next is probably profit

The first one was more believable visually than the second one

but the plot and characterization was marginally better here imo

Nah they white washed this second one… First one was more native based

 

[Warren Peace]

Nah they white washed this second one

how so? iirc all they did was add spider and the whaling cacs

 

[K.O.N.Y]

got the chance to meet James Cameron two days ago

told him "congratulations on the film"

all he said was "you should check it out" on some humble shyt

cool dude.

So what was it supposed to make wouldn't flop

 

[O.Red]

Didn’t they film the 2nd and 3rd movie together. If so the costs should be spread across both movies.

If the 3d in this is anything like the first one I will be in there the first week. People who never saw Avatar in the theater do not understand.

This has been the source of the disconnect between fans and haters of Avatar

Most people don't care about effects and tech THAT much so when Avatar fans and James Cameron talk about the technology and the 3D it's falling on deaf ears because so the fukk what?

99% of the criticisms of Avatar are in regards to it's bland story. They feel no connection to any of the characters. Hell there are Avatar fans that don't even remember the names of the cast

Avatar is the theme park movie Scorcese should've been referencing instead of blaming Marvel but it's Cameron so nikkas are gonna put way too much Stan sauce on it

You can't answer a simple question

 

[DaRealness]

Meh...

I'll wait til this shyt comes on Disney plus in a year or two if I even decide to see it then.

I already didn't think much of the first movie and don't even remember much of it, I'm not going to see no damn overlong sequel just cos it looks pretty.
