Say bye bye to Avatar if that's that case at least domestically. 

I don't "hate" Avatar, it's a competent movie, that's just been done better like 3 or 4 times before (Dances With Wolves is far better) and I think it's honestly James Cameron's weakest film. 



Yeah sounds like they're saying high 30s for TFA's Tuesday .... that would put in the range of $325-$327 million domestic through its first Tuesday already.

By comparison, Avatar was sitting at $109.4 million for the same time period ... I realize Avatar had unbelievable legs, but holy crap day-for-day TFA is on a torrid pace. The scary thing is, I think a lot of the "Average Joe" public audience still hasn't seen The Force Awakens, because a lot of people were busy with Christmas shopping/work parties last weekend and scared off by Star Wars fanatics and opted to see it the second weekend.

Well that's BS, have you even seen Avatar? How is it the same story as Dances with Wolves? Is it because they both have some sort of a native in it that the protagonist befriends?

This is like saying that Force Awakens is the same story as Titanic because they both have a ship in it. Or that Force Awakens is the same as Sparticus because they're both about a resistance against an Empire.

Let's be real, Avatar is a totally different genre of film than than Dances with Wolves and also a much better film.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Do you guys think Avatar 2 has a chance at breaking $3 billion?

People don't care about Avatar anymore. It had like no staying power with the public. Last Avatar had hype to reach to the moon and back. Not gonna happen.

Come on man, keep 'your' own opinion out of it.

The only thing there that was my own opinion was the "Not gonna happen" part. For now at least
