Avatar (the movie) and its Sequels

[DCBaker]

"Another day, another milestone for “Avatar: The Way of Water.” James Cameron’s blockbuster sequel has generated $623.5 million at the domestic box office, taking down “The Avengers” ($623.4 million) to become the 10th-highest grossing domestic release of all time.

Now that “The Way of Water” has cracked the top 10, the sci-fi tentpole’s competition to move up the list includes “Jurassic World” (at No. 9 with $653 million), “Titanic” (at No. 8 with $659 million) and “Avengers: Infinity War” (at No. 7 with $678 million)."

"Despite Disney/Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania soaking up the global box office with $225M start, the studio’s sister 20th Century Studios/Lightstorm James Cameron sequel Avatar: The Way of Water refuses to stop, despite the fact that the former title has all the premium tickets. Avatar: The Way of Water‘s running worldwide total now stands at $2.243 billion, making it the third highest movie ever, sending Cameron’s own Titanic (which recently had a re-release) to fourth with $2.242 billion.

Overseas, Avatar 2 has made $1.586 billion to its domestic take of $658.4M. The Presidents Day weekend made Avatar 2 the ninth highest movie ever at the domestic box office, overtaking Universal’s 2015 Jurassic World‘s $653.4M. However, Avatar 2 in this go-round, especially this late in its theatrical release at ten weekends looks unlikely to beat Cameron’s Titanic stateside (No. 8 on the domestic list) which counts a lifetime total through this weekend of $672.1M. In sum, Avatar 2 is going to need a theatrical re-release if it’s going to best Titanic stateside.

This past weekend in the U.S./Canada, Avatar 2 ranked second behind Ant-Man 3 with $6.3M and a 4-day of $7.5M. The movie had to give up its Dolby screens to Universal’s Knock at the Cabin three weekends ago, but had to cede all of its premium ticket venues to Disney’s own Marvel Studios threequel."

This movie continues to be an epic disappointment at the box office. /sarcasm.

I don’t think TWDC was this disappointed with performance since their last movie of a similar script, Mars Needs Moms

It'll be lucky to make a billion let alone two billion.

Why a video to thank such a small audience (AK Pandora CMs)?

Why a video to thank such a small audience (AK Pandora CMs)?

Why not? A 90 second video is just a small and special way to show appreciation for all the hard work CMs do daily.

The question shouldn't be "why", the question should be "why aren't they doing more of this".

Why a video to thank such a small audience (AK Pandora CMs)?

The new regime is mending fences with the CMs. There's been an uptick in such things as this.

Also, it's a backdoor advertisement for Avatar and DAK.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great! Just curious. I figured it was what @MisterPenguin said- showing appreciation and trying to (re)build trust. It just seemed like it was focused on a very narrow audience. But it’s nice to think of Pandora CMs as part of the Avatar production team (producing public experience w/the IP).

I want to see one from the Indy 4 cast for DL’s Indy CMs!

Don’t expect Harrison out there doing this unless it’s for all of Adventureland or all of DL itself for the 100th.

Don’t expect Harrison out there doing this unless it’s for all of Adventureland or all of DL itself for the 100th.

Harrison is scheduled to come into a green-screen studio and thank the CMs working Indian Jones; and the CMs working the Star Wars lands and attractions; and the CMs at Marvel Campus because of his upcoming role as Gen. Thunderbolt Ross; and the CMs working Grizzly Peak because of his role in Call of the Wild; and the CMs working Cars Land because of his appearance in American Graffiti.

More releases need to start having behind the scenes material.

People will be shocked at the level of detail that went into this film. I known some people who worked on it and they were floored with how much real world references were created for the film. It's easy to think of it as extremely good CGI, but that came from a lot of real world references and production.
