- Thread starter neoshinok
- Start date

gotta remember that each prequel went down in revenue

That is only because they weren't that good. If the fans would have gotten quality movies then each one wouldn't have dropped off.
Right which is what i said

If Disney wants to build something based on a lincense that lots and lots of people worldwide have heard of they could do much worse than picking the number one movie in history to draw from. I am not a huge Avatar fan myself but it has name recognition worldwide. Cameron has the top two movies in history in his pocket, he seems like he might have an ideal or two what people want.

For commercial success in a project like this, recognizable is a fairly good place to start. The name alone will draw people's interest and possibly their credit card.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I have been rereading some of the Avatar stuff concerning DAK. One of the things that occurred to me was this story about Cameron working with Cirque to develop an Avatar live show. Having read some earlier articles and noticing that people such as Rohde and Staggs keep mentioning additional entertainment/shows coming DAK, I now find myself wondering if the Cirque acrobats are going to be integrated into the Avatar expansion. It wouldn't surprise me at all if one of the new entertainment offerings coming to DAK would be a routine Avatar-themed Cirque performance. There has also been mention of entertainers around and about Discovery River at night. Wondering if that also might have something to do with the Cirque performers.

good question. i might have a person to ask about that but not sure if that links a dead end now.

The cost to operate a real show like that with that level of performer would make TDO blush.

Here is a good overview from Theme Park University. The page also includes the preview video for the show, but it doesn't show much.

They do operate a show like this. It's called Festival of the Lion King.
It's just not 100% cirque, not to the scale of a cirque show certainly. And while the performers may not be top notch, they are definitely the best of any show on property in just about every way (vocally, acrobatics, performance, consistency etc.)

Very positive and thorough preview of this, here:

Lots to ponder as far as how the franchise is going to be developed and extended....

2014 was a long time ago by Hollywood standards, and we already know that the 2nd Avatar film will not debut until 2017, so the whole premise of the article - the two films opening on the same weekend - is OBE.

I see that Toruk is scheduled to play pittsburgh at the end of June. I'm debating whether I should/want to go.
Has anyone bought tickets, or is anyone planning on seeing this show?
