That didn't stop a whole bunch of Disney films from being barred from China, tho.

Yeah. If they really want people to come out to the movies, all it takes is one of the world’s most successful directors spending $300M and 13 years making a sequel to the world’s most successful film ever, another $100M to market it, the invention of new cinematography technology, a themed land at one of the world’s most visited theme parks, good word-of-mouth, and a favor from the Chinese government.James Cameron Praises ‘Avatar 2’ Nearing $2 Billion: ‘Enough With Streaming Already!

So if he's tired of sitting on his @$$, then what would he do in a a theater? Stand up and jump around during the movie?

Was finally going to see it this weekend but fever, sore throat, and a mother-in-law in the hospital dictate different plans. Hopefully, it will keep its 3D IMAX screens for a couple of more weeks at least.

This same thing has been discussed in other threads for many years now. The amount of tickets sold has been declining for 20 years, as the article alludes. I don't see that changing, its only going to get worse. And studios have seen the same thing, which is why streaming was seen as a way to offset the overall decline.A very interesting article outlining the overall health of the box office, using Way of Water as a lens.

It'll be interesting to see where theaters are in say 5 to 10 years. I have a feeling smaller regional theaters will close, and only the major chains will remain to show only the major tent pole films.

Eh, on a ride, nobody cares. A good art designer can make it feel pretty seamless.

DIS is a fool if they don’t have ride plans ready to roll and start on next month. Someone in the know please tell me that Imagineers have been hard at work and discussions with Cameron have been on-going for the last few years that IF the movie was a success (which it undoubtedly is) that they have a ride already designed and ready to be funded and built to add to AK’s Pandora? Any insider info????

'Avatar 2' tops 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' at global box office
"Avatar: The Way of Water" is now the sixth-biggest movie ever. Next up: topping "Avengers: Infinity War."

Variety is reporting Avatar: The Way of Water has officially crossed the $2 billion mark worldwide -
"The sci-fi epic added $20 million from 3,790 theaters over the weekend, declining roughly 40% from its prior outing and boosting its North American tally to $598 million. It’s currently the 13th-highest grossing release in history behind “Incredibles 2” ($608 million), “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” ($620 million) and “The Avengers” ($623 million), but it’s expected to eventually overtake those films in terms of domestic ticket sales.
Notably, “The Way of Water” has officially become the sixth film to ever cross $2 billion worldwide. It has amassed a staggering $2.02 billion, recently taking down “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($1.91 billion) as the sixth-highest grossing release of all time."

It's just fun to go back and see how wrong people were with their predictions with Avatar 2.
