Is the new Avatar movie going to bomb?

[CarburetorThompson]

IMO it’s 10 years too late to have any chance.

 

[Anon2024]

Personally I have no idea, I hope it's a good movie since I actually liked the first one.

 

[Redemit]

From what I've been hearing they spent too much money making it and it's basically impossible for it to break even

Also there's this

you can guess how the movie will go with the director being that crazy

 

[LilRora]

In my personal opinion they've set the expectations way too high. It will definitely be a good quality movie with all the budget that went into it, but good quality doesn't make a good movie by itself.

Productions that are widely advertised and long anticipated tend not to meet the expectations most of the time, and I don't think Avatar will be among the exceptions.

I would never bet against James Cameron. I think it’s going to be amazing and globally it’s going to be quite significant. Whether it’s financially successful depends on how much money spent it needs to overcome, which has been a bit vague because of the protracted pre-production. Also the cost of the next few movies have been counted in this. I think it’ll be big but whether it’ll to be big enough for Hollywood accounting… who knows

 

[FaustVoncleave]

I hope it does well. I don't want James Cameron to end his Career on a low note, and this movie has the ability to end it if it flops with the insane amount of money spent on it.

Probably gonna make a lot of money because people will adore the CGI, but pay no real attention to the plot and praise it for looking good.

Avatar was visually "stunning", but I am not sure if it truly had much else going for it...

I was certainly never "hungry" for a sequel...

It was one of those movies you watch with friends or family for a blast then forget about it

IMO Avatar will have to need to enlist in the US Air Force, and the US needs to find a poor country with oil.

 

[EternalSunset0]

Will probably do fine, but it definitely won't be like the first one. I think people will go see it due to name recognition alone, but it won't be shattering records, and as you said, it's a decade too late.

I was actually surprised the first one did as well as it did. Then, it suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth a few weeks later, without leaving a cultural footprint, as they call it.

Avatar? You mean Isekai Space Pocahontas?

Fun fact was that the first one only did so well because the 3D glasses fad that seems to happen every 20 years or so

 

[K5Rakitan]

I rarely see these things when they first come out, so I have no clue.

 

[OP1000]

I think that the sequel is going to do worse than the first 'Avatar' movie.

Spoiler

The personal life of Sam(the MC that became one of the blue aliens at the end) really does not interest me anymore. They really waited too long for me to really have any interest in how things will turn out for the MC.[SPOILER/]

 

[RavenRunes]

Isekai Space Pocahontas sums it up, ok so I liked the first one, cba with the second. I mean, it's an old film now, right?? Can't they just make some new stuff?

 

[BenJepheneT]

Now, there's two notions I'm bringing with me in the midnight premiere. One, it's gonna be mildly interesting at best, and okay at worst. It'll never reach the financial success of the first one, and it'll take a miracle for it to break even.

Two, it's James fucking Cameron. Even his worst movies are rife with filmmaking technical prowess. The guy made fucking Aliens and Terminator 1+2 (and some boat movie I keep forgetting). I'm physically obligated to catch whatever the fuck he puts on the big screen. If Avatar 2 turns out to be a psy op and it's just a 2 hour recording of William Friedkin glazing a film reel of Sorcerer with his male mayonnaise I'd pay to see it twice.

Didn't care for the first one and not going to see this one.

Pretty sure his name is Jake.
Guess that shows how forgettable the characters are.

 

[rain-090]

It's gonna somehow be the highest selling movie while simultaneously having no one you ever meet having seen it or being able to describe the plot

James Cameron had lost his touch years ago. Nothing he made past 2010 was any good and often had social justice shoved down the viewers throats. Ai-chan will bet that this movie will also involve him forcing every viewer to provide social justice deepthroat.
