Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Trolling doesn't count for off topic stuff like movies.

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.

We are dealing with a generation raised on Bay, McG and Ratner Action films. These people don't even know, or care, why T2 and Aliens are godtier films and why James Cameron garners more respect to generation X than even George Lucas.
I showed a 25 year old friend Aliens for the first time a few days ago. This dissapoints me.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

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.

We're talking Avatar here, not Aliens or T2 which are fantastic movies.
T2 and Aliens = Legendary; Avatar = Smurfapalooza

No way does Cameron garner more respect than Lucas from Generation X. Even Cameron himself would admit that as he's copped to saying that Lucas' Star Wars is what convinced him to actively pursue film-making.
Besides, Cameron, as cool as some of his films have been, didn't even make the best movie in the Alien saga. That title goes to its originator, Ridley Scott, who I think is a far more talented director than Cameron. I mean, shit, he gave us Blade Runner as well as Alien.
Aliens is still a pretty sweet-ass movie, though. Don't misunderstand me there. I just think Alien is far scarier and unnerving.
Plus, no children in Alien. That's always a plus for me. I'm tired of having a cute kid muddle up a perfectly good action/horror film.

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
