It's crazy that they're already getting Avatar 3 ready for 2024 release. You'd think they may wait to see if people show up for the 2nd. At least they got the original cast back. bruh it was announced that 2 and 3 would be filmed back to back IN AUGUST 2010 The 4th film was greenlit in 2012 The 5th film was greenlit in 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest advancements were mostly for the underwater filming. I expect a huge, amazing experience watching those scenes. Will make Aquaman look like a joke. I enjoyed the original for what it was, even though the characters were lame and the story was completely uninspired and unoriginal. I will see this when it comes to streaming, but I have no desire to see it in theaters. As for how it will do....I expect 2 to do well, if only due to curiosity, but I think it will fall slightly short of the numbers they want. 3's success will depend how much people like 2, but I doubt it will do better than 2, because much of the curiosity factor will be gone. I personally dont expect 4 and 5 to happen. Maybe 4 will to wrap things up....as long as 3 doesn't completely bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Can’t wait to take my eventual grandkids to see this in 2050 something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think some people are seriously underestimating how much business this will do. I guess it also depends on what people mean when they say it will "bomb". -If this gets reviews similar to the first one, then I think this clears $500 million domestic and $2 billion worldwide, conservatively. Obviously those are big drops from the first one, so if that's what people mean by bomb then I guess I just disagree with the terminology. The first one way out earned what anyone could have possibly expected and was such a lightning strike that I don't think this can or should be expected to replicate that. But overall I don't see how this doesn't bring in a huge haul if it's similarly regarded to the first. -If it gets better reviews story wise then it'll challenge the first one both domestically and internationally. I'd bet a lot of money on that. -If it disappoints critically, then all bets are off. Still would guess minimum $300 million domestic and $1.5 billion worldwide, but then the 3rd one would drop off significantly and would probably be the end of the franchise.

Wasn't one of the reasons it did so well because the ticket prices were inflated? Is that happening again? I personally can't imagine people all go see it in 3D again, and I also can't imagine word of mouth comes close to that of 2009 where it was its own unique thing.

People start talking about it overtaking Avatar so the re-release and pit them against each other and make even more money because they don't care who wins.

WizardHawk Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 🤷♂️ I trust Cameron, so I'll most likely see this in theater. CGI looks on point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price increases are happening regardless of 3D though. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had its ticket prices increased just because it's popular. Don't see why Disney wouldn't do the same for this. It might not...but the reactions from the audience at CinemaCon said it was amazing when they saw the trailer in 3D. The word of mouth for the visuals will be similar to the first one. Reviews will be critical for this, moreso than for an MCU movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
