AVATAR land - the specifics

[Disneyhead'71]

i think it will flop and only half the people that went to the first one will go see the second therefore it will make 1.4 billion dollars

I'm not saying I want it to flop, I just have this feeling it will.

oh i agree with you that it wont do well in the US i just think it will go pretty big internationally ala transformers but probably more than that

On second thought, the moon isn't obnoxious, because it really is a beautiful moon. It's so vibrant and bright that it makes the rest of the model look bad, I think.

So is Disney going to build that 800-foot tall, 4,000-foot long black wall behind the Avatar Expansion?
I take it the 850-foot tall silver scaffolding is what will hold up the million+ cubic yards of black fabric that will be needed to create the backdrop.

Really? 1.4 billion dollars is a flop??? That would still put it at number 6 ALL TIME!! Seriously that would not be considered a flop by anyone???

I took his post as a little sarcastic.

I was hoping so too, but these days you never know.

you would be correct

 

[Mawg]

you would be correct

Now, if they decide to make another Christmas special then it might flop.

It would be foolish to bet against Cameron box-office record as a director. When I make a bet I look at the trackrecord of the horse I'm betting on and there is no doubt Cameron is a Thoroughbred. He seems to place first more than not.

You have to try really hard to make a Star Wars movie flop as much as I hated Jar Jar that movie still did not flop.

Star Wars is box office gold, even if you make a turd.

I have faith the new movies will be much better and therefore do better at the box office.

Someone expecting to see a bare minimum of 1.5 billion in revenue would consider it a flop. Also, box office revenue is not profit.

no, there is a difference between a box office flop and a movie not meeting its expectations. I can see at any point one of these next 6 Star Wars movies not meeting Disney's "internal" expectations specially after how well the first one will do but I would not predict a box office flop for any of them.

when you're unrealistically aiming for the sky.. anything can be a flop.

An ahole analyst could be expecting Avatar to get 4 trillions.
Is it realistic? of course not.. but still someone " expected" the 4 trillions and is a flop for him if the thing doesn't get 4 trillions.

Disney and more has some great close up photos
theres a lot more to this model than you think

Not to mention there is a topless

Just because, but Pandora is actually the moon of the gas giant behind the model.

Yeah... I totally knew that. I don't know what would make you think otherwise. LOL.

Also, the Na'vi is *not* topless, she is fully covered and it is only her rib cage and midriff that is exposed. Thank you.

So it WILL be in the sky above the land.

Good question. What's the point of putting it there, if it's not going to be part of Avatarland?

The moon is going to be there as well?

I love it and I hope this *planet* will be included in Avatarland because it's so gorgeous. And, I hope it's really huge like it is on the model.

The following isn't directed toward you or me, it's just for other readers who may not be familiar with Avatar, lol.

Okay so, according to wiki.....

The big blue moon is not a moon -- it is actually a planet named Polyphemus and its inhabitants are called Cyclopians. "Cyclopians are described as hairy three-armed humanoids, that are single-minded as well as single-eyed. They are also dour, insensitive, unimaginative, and totally lacking in sympathy, not to mention having no heart at all." LOL.

Pandora is the moon of planet Polyphemus and home to the Na'vi.

I just have to say, I'm embarrassed. The number of freakin typos my iPad creates by auto "correcting" is appalling. I need to start rereading before hitting "post". Just awful. I need to go hide in a corner.

I make just as many typos and I am typing this on a regular keyboard without auto correct.

I know the feeling. iPad and Android are awful on auto correct. I look like I'm drunk posting.

That's funny, I haven't seen any typos from any of you. But seriously, I can relate as typos are the bane of my existence and it totally ruins my fun on the forums. Plus, I don't discover my typos until the next day(s), it's rare when I catch them right away. It's akin to enjoying the night out and then being grossed out the next morning.

Exactly. That's why they are Theme Parks, not Amusement Parks. I can't wait to explore this new land! We were starting to think about a trip in 2016, but now I want to delay that until late 2017, when this land will be ready to explore.

The sequel to Avatar has been pushed back to Christmas Day of 2017, so Disney should adjust the opening of Avatarland to Spring of 2018. I think there is a good chance of this happening, so stay tuned before you finalize any plans. But yeah.... I really can't wait for Avatarland, too!

I think it has a better chance of being the biggest flop in the history of film. Like Fantastic 4 flop territory.

LOL. This is so funny, thanks for the laugh.

They will use the "highest grossing movie of all time" marketing angle to hook a lot of people, so it will do ok, but I don't think it will beat the previous. I thing the next two films after that will be the harder sell.

We'll see. James Cameron is filming this movie with new technology that is so innovative, it required him to coordinate a special team to assist all of the movie cinema's with updating their equipment and screens prior to the movie release.

Avatar 2 will be filmed in 60 FPS (frames per second). As a comparison, Soarin' is filmed in 48 FPS. Also, Peter Jackson filmed The Hobbit in 48 FPS but the majority of theaters were not equipped to show the movie in that format.

So, I am *not* going to underestimate Avatar 2.

i think it will flop and only half the people that went to the first one will go see the second therefore it will make 1.4 billion dollars

I disagree. Avatar 2 is going to be something that no one has experienced before.

oh i agree with you that it wont do well in the US i just think it will go pretty big internationally ala transformers but probably more than that

Again, disagree. I believe Avatar 2 has the power to entice curious viewers back into the cinema, again. First, there is nothing else of it's kind out there. Second, movie fans will want to be re-energized from super hero fatigue.

LOL. If I see a black curtain of any kind in Avatarland, I will scream (internally).

They also must be VERY tall and VERY strong to be able to support their weight on such a huge planet with such high winds. That planet looks like a gas giant which also shows bands of extremely high wind activity.

Consider me schooled.

Now we wait for new construction pictures and opening so we can experience it and see what kind of magic they created.
