I didn't care that the story lifted big chunks of Princess Mononoke/Dances with Wolves. I had sky high expectations and for once they were exceeded. A truly beautiful visual experience that can only be fully appreciated in a real IMAX theatre(not these crappy upgraded screens that are popping up).
I just hope it has the legs in the US to knock Tranformers 2 off #1 for 2009. Should do between $900m-$1billion WW all up.
The "wait for the BR" crowd will be sorely disappointed. |
Dunno about $900 bln, but I think it can top $600 million, which would be great results for Cameron to want another film...at the very least, I think the "can" of worms has been opened, and Avatar is the new gold standard for all other films to match.

It'll easily surpass 600 million.
|
Next weekend has alot of competition, so if the movie can drop only 45-50%, it's going to top $600 easily, otherwise, it might not be so easy.

The drops should be quite stable. Japan and China alone should chip in $100m+ between them(maybe even in Japan alone). Solid reviews mean that the older demographic will turn out to see it eventually and awards nominations will keep interest high.
Avatar will make a lot more overseas than in the US. $1 billion seems far fetched but it's a quarter of the way there already and if 2012 can make close to $800m, it seems more likely that it will happen.
Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego.
Patiently waiting for: Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2
