It competed against the filmmaking technology of the day, And it broke new ground from a filmmaking point of view, it was a bloody awful movie though.

It’s still a burger...no matter what sauce you put on it.

Yet, it's a highly aesthetically pleasing land with immersion and intrigue of traveling to an alien planet that is familiar yet very different from earth. It doesn't matter if no one thinks about the movies. It stands on it's own and has FoP to back it up.

The problem is that the SW attractions have nowhere near the capacity/throughput of EITHER LMA or Backlot tour and will have much greater demand.

Just got beaten to it but Avatar only sold well because it was the first big 3D movie to come and people wanted to go and see this new technology regardless of what the movie actually was. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland came out around the same time and made a ton of money despite being dire.

WDW has things that are almost but not entirely unlike a burger, You can put sauce on them which makes them almost edible...

Granted...excellent posts, by the way...even though people on here say nothing you say is valid because you’re a troll that hates rainbows, unicorns, and puppies..
My point was it had a 4 month box office competition void rarely seen.
Cameron is Lucky that way...anyone remember what the primary movie against titanic was?

I rather liked Tim Burton's Alice, Remember Lewis Carroll was a opium user so I think Tim Burton's version might have been a lot closer to what he wanted to write but was bounded by Victorian sensibilities.

My point is it’s not happening...because the root cause is known

How can anyone here not like Unicorns, Rainbows and Puppies (until they chew the furniture) It is a board about theme parks after all.
In reality I hate Corporate Codswallop and those who shill for a corporate narrative which Disney has been putting out in abundance since Iger took the reins.

My stance is that you don’t have to hate disney at all...but you do have to call obvious BS

Nope, Titanic not a great movie but it was the first with photorealistic CGI, The CGI recreation of the Titanic was absolutely amazing given the computer technology of the time.
Cameron's is the rare filmmaker who contributions to the technical state of the art outweigh his creative output, Lucas is another because of his groundbreaking SFX in Star Wars today they are 'old hat' but they changed the industry forever.

I don't hate Disney, I hate the way it's being run into the ground the first real financial headwind that Disney hits as it's being run today will blow it away. One would have thought the huge stock drop a couple of years back which was larger than it's peers in the media sector would have been a warning sign.

Titanic won Best Picture...
This thread should be entered into a balloon race with all the hot air it's generating.

I feel as though we are supposed to believe James Cameron is a better director than he is.
Kinda like how Be Our Guest is amazing because Disney said so.

Man, I don't know...
Terminator, Terminator 2, Aliens, True Lies...those are all pretty good movies.
However, I don't think his full list of credits (Piranha II and Point Break included) changes the fact that "Titanic is not good" is being used as a talking point when it won Best Picture. Seems disingenuous at best, albeit par for the course considering the source.

which is why they need 2 showings most nights - another helpful thing would be to bring the night shows at the other parks up to the same caliber

What's the deal with the place anyways? I swear I hear "It's amazing" as much as I hear "It's not worth it". Do they keep changing menus? I'll be trying it for the first time this fall actually.

Maybe the differing reviews pertain to different meals (CS breakfast, CS lunch, TS dinner). Breakfast is often derided as a very poor value for what you get. I can say that in my experience of 3 lunches there (spread over 5 years), the speed of service and quality of the food went down a bit each time, so that we went from raving about the place to no longer caring to have lunch there. Most of the dinner reviews I've read, however, have been very positive (although the menu will undergo a significant change starting this summer, going from a la carte to a prix fixe experience, so the jury's out on that).
