TFA box office run: both more entertaining and less drawn out than Avatar.

 

 





Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

TFA is only 10.5 behind Avatar in the UK in local currency, yet it trails it by 26 million in USD currency, the exchange rate is what will likely keep it from passing Avatar.

 

Not really. TFA gets the advantage of China being a bigger market and a favorable exchange rate compared to 2009 in that country. Not to mention the higher ticket prices. And in other countries, like Australia, TFA is tracking behind Avatar by quite a lot (in local currency).

 

The 100-200 million million extra in China will not be enough to offset the currency exchange, and it still hasn't finished it's run in Australia, give it time, also as someone mentioned the currency exchange rate for Latin America was muh more favorable for Avatar, the average ticket prices in Brazil were in the mid3 dollar range, while for Avatar in the mid 5 dollar range.

But if TFA doesn't pass Avatar, then even with the favorable currency exchange rate, Avatar is still is deserved king, since it isn't Fox's or Camerons fault that the exchange rates change a lot.

Its mostly exchange rates and I know lots of theaters didnt open on the 31st and/or the 1st here on Brazil at least, Im pretty sure that happened on other places as well.

It's sad that I'm more entertained by the sales of a movie right now than the sales of systems

It's an event that will not be repeated for possibly the next 10 years or more, in NA, whereas the console race gives a pretty linear performance.

In my opinion, the movie is highly overated. It doesn't deserve to pass Avatar. At least Avatar did something groundbreaking  with its engrossing world  and incredible effects. This movie had a crap villain and pretty much recycled A New Hope. Not deserving of the records it's breaking. 

lolz, Ferngully called and it said, "James Cameron recycled my plot and the events of Titanic!"

Is this the only complaint against Avatar?i have a whole laundry list of actual problems with TFA. So what if the premise of Avatar is similar to Pocahontas and Fern Gully, the way Avatar executed the story was unique. Star Wars TFA is basically ANH recycled. Nothing is completely original at this point.
