Why did it flop?
Because she was so sexy everyone came just from watching the trailer so they didn't have to see the movie
>>217492683>#1 since 5 weeksget your head checked, pal.
>>217493370It flopped. Hard.
It didn’t flop but it did underperform, it’s going to make almost 1B less than TWOW. 4 will make even less
>>217493396Avatar 1: $2.9 billionAvatar 2: $2.3 billionAvatar 3: $1.3 billion so far, still in theaters until March.It's a huge decline but calling 20th highest grossing film of all time a flop is tarded
>>217492683World wasn't ready for Big Jim's vision
The first Avatar was a self-contained story you could follow without watching anything else prior. There was also nothing else like it when it released in 2009. The reason The Way of Water did so well is because of 13 years of anticipation and hype, but most viewers hadn't seen the first film in over a decade and it was no longer a self-contained story. It centered on these kids who have their character arcs play out over several films.
>>217492683It didn’t
>>217492683can't wait for Avatar 4 when they'll save the whales again
>>217493672>>217493816It flopped. Hard.
>>217493820Why does /tv/ hate whales all of a sudden? Where does the whalephobia come from?
>>217493835It's clearly a /pol/ psyop
>>217494256WHY ARE THEY SO EVIL
IT WAS LITERALLY SET IN THE SAME PLACES AS AVATAR 1 AND 2 DOING THE SAME SHIT. SAME BOAT. SAME WARSHIPS. SAME ANIMALS. THIS MOVIE WAS A FUCKING JOKE.
>>2174936721.3 billion isnt even breaking even. this shit legit flopped.
>>217494340>IT WAS LITERALLY SET IN THE SAME PLACES AS AVATAR 1 AND 2I mean, the planet is called Avatar, what did you expect
>>217494384pandora is an entire planet. i expect different biomes like how earth has deserts, jungles, mountains, oceans, tundras, grasslands. also this isn't earth so he could have made up fucking anything and isn't limited to the biomes that exist on earth.
>>217494451Look, no one has ever called Cameron a visionary. People usually call him a hack. And that's what he is. A hack.
I still don't understand how Avatar from 2009 has better CGI than the sequels from the 2020s. The sequels look like fucking videogames.
>>217494372Variety is reporting the budget as $350 million plus another $150 million for promotion. It's set to make three times the production cost.
>>217492683The movie cost 500 million (making + marketing) and will end up making 500 million in profits only counting theaters (it’s already made a profit of 300 million here). It will make at least another 100 million by physical and streaming sales. While that is happening Disney is expanding and building new avatar parks
>>217492683>Why did it flop?it was way of water part 2, instead of a new movie with new stuff
>>217492683Blue nigger fatigue.
>>217495003stop being racist, pinkskin
>>217493672I think it needs to clearly 1.5 billy to recoup. It's close to 500 on production, and distributors are going to take half of ever dollar earned. You're looking at 750 million just to recoup production/advertising. The film realistically needs to double that for us to ever see another one.
>>217494451Pandora is a moon, not a planet.
>>217494577>>217494625The movie has made under 500 million dollars. It's a fucking flop.
>>217494384It did introduce a new tribe and environment but it somehow didn't get enough screentime in 3 1/4 hours
>>217495104Muttoids have shit taste, tell me something new.
>>217495104It made more than Gunnperman
>>217492683audiences could sense the low cultural impact potential and avoided itthe crazy navy girl chief was hot though ngl
people arent interested in watching cgi creatures talk and fight. avatar was interesting cause it was real dudes fighting cgi cat things with a human villain.
>>217493820That arc is done it’s a new story, RDA will continue to rape the planet in some form but it’ll most likely be background to what’s happening in the polar icecap regions
>>217494566might need new eyes, that'd explain it
>>217494340It's the same places but different things are happening, there's a whole chase sequence in bridgehead, the tulkun and squid guys are biting pinkskin heads off and the fire tribe are doing their fire tribe shit. In that way it's totally different from Avatar 2. Avatar 3 is like when you backtrack to that town you last visited 40 hours ago in a JRPG and a bunch of stuff happened in your absence.
>>217494566I don't agree at all. The first act of Avatar is my favorite part. I kinda lose interest on rewatches when Jake becomes a part of the tribe and the whole movie devolves into a cgi fest. Except for the part where he gets his Ikran, that shit is great.
>>217494384Yes bc Africa and Australia and N and S America all have the same biospheres and animals…. You didn’t get enough oxygen during childbirth did you?
>>217496587>Because she was so sexy everyone came just from watching the trailer so they didn't have to see the moviewe got tree burners and whale poachers already. I'm hoping we can introduce some mineral fracking. (its also an easy way for Cameron to introduce the earth benders)
>>21749456648fps. Double thr frames rendered, half thr quality
>>217494577>Variety is reporting the budget as $350 million plus another $150 million for promotion. It's set to make three times the production cost.It's definitely making money but you have to account for the theater cut and miscellaneous distributions costs as well. Movie budgeting and expenses are so opaque it's hard to know anything for sure.
>>217493824not really
People just don't have as much money to spend on movies compared to previous decades
>>217493835It's a start rek reference you zoomoid
