Gee, I don't even want to look at this thread anymore. The argument is immense.

Boutros, sorry if I acted overly aggressive, rude and/or offensive in this thread. I was just trying to defend Avatar (a movie that I liked) when I thought its monetary achievements were being harped on. I thought you could have celebrated Alice in Wonderland's wonderful achievement without bringing another movie into this. Again, my apologies if I brought you any unhappiness. And if you're wondering why I sound different, it's because I'm drunk. I'm a sincere drunk. Accept my apology please.

Well I'm not drunk and I'm sorry too ahah

And?

Depp is far bigger these days. Plus Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry and others. The draw of the cast in Alice in Wonderland is collectively bigger.

But that wasn't my main point, my main point was that Alice in wonderland is a bankable widely known narrative. Avatar wasn't. Yes avatar was a HUGE hit, but its smaller first week can be attributed in many ways to the fact that it wasn't a known property.

But remember that Alice in Wonderland was considered a flop for Disney when it came out in 1951.

Can't say I agree nor disagree.

Haven't seen it yet :P

I don't know when I will actually

No one wants to see it here :/

I think I'll try to bait one of my friend by telling him it's better than Avatar ahah
