Love the corridor crew video's. It's becoming like a platform for VFX houses to show off and give insight into their hard work.

Titanic pulled in $22 million this weekend, including both domestic and international? Jesus Christ!

Are you counting the gross in Taiwan as part of China as well?

Hate to be the bear of bad news, you were wrong no matter how you twist it🤦‍♂️

It'll pass 2 billion without China in 1 day & China+Tawian (23.8 million, it's dead there) soon after.

After this weekend, we're looking at a final gross of 2.29-2.32 billion.

Still missing $21M. It’ll get there but just. Guess I’ll be off by a fraction of a percent.

So you were wrong then as expected, even after moving goal posts? Don't feel too bad, you join 90% of the people in this thread who also didn't know how the B\O works & were wrong.

And by the way, Taiwan hasn't been included in China grosses when it comes to the Box Office since 1945, dating nearly all the way back to the beginning of B/O statistical tracking.

So it's already disingenuous to try & include their total into Chinas total in the first place, just because you knew you were going to be wrong. It doesn't work like that at the B/O & never will.

Say what you will about Avatar 2's plot, but at least the main characters don't spend their time chasing MacGuffins, like the map to Luke Skywalker, or some gems for a glove. Sure, you've got Scoresby with the amrita, but holy hell do they go to great lengths to show you what entails the collection of that.

People always throw the "thin" plot critique at Avatar, but I think those same people are passing off a lack of, perhaps, plot intricacy, for simplicity...and those aren't the same things at all.

Even intricate plots can be woven on the basis of simplistic themes and stories. This is also generally why you don't see people listing a film they find to be more nuanced and complex than Avatar when critiquing it, because they know damn well any movie they cite as being more complex can be broken down easily, and therefore won't risk the debate.

Not really saying much when you are using TROS, probably the worst movie ever made as a comparison.

The map to Luke Skywalker was introduced in The Force Awakens, which is what I was referencing, along with Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

But yeah, TRoS is pure ass.

Yeah I’m so annoyed they haven’t done the original in 4k yet. Waiting to watch this one on disc

Agreed. It should be released with Way of Water. It makes sense to release them both together.

Cameron has said that Abyss and True Lies are getting a 4K disc this year, so here's hoping for Avatar as well. While James is at it, he might as well get Titanic out as well.
