The teaser for AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER nabs huge 148.6m views in first day (THR)
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
also it had a huge SNL skit like 5 years after it released. people remember it even doesn't have a billion dollars in merch
Yup, there's a good reason WB moved Shazam 2 way the hell away from Avatar 2 XD They know it's gonna be a smash.
*Actually, it looks like they did the opposite and moved it to December. Well that's certainly...confident of them.
Well deserved. It's a good teaser. Not giving anything away but definitely hits in the feels with that music. I think this movie is gonna have a sad ending too like empire strikes bad. They are gonna lose before they win.
Shazam is family friendly just like Avatar. The traffic Way of Water brings is actually good for Shazam because people will go out to see that afterward or before. It's smart imo.

There's actually a serious chance you're right.
People forget the Chinese government pulled the first film from cinemas because they were worried how much it was pervading social conversation and replaced it with a film about Confucius.
Avatar is basically the launching point for the modern era of film in China. Avatar 2 is gonna be for China what TFA was for the US. If it's allowed the chance, anyway. Which it very well might not be.
After watching the teaser... I'm in!
I hadn't fully re-watched Avatar in years, only turning it on to fall asleep to randomly. I did recently re-watch it though and really enjoyed it. I totally see why it was such an appealing movie. The 3D in theaters was excellent but visually the movie holds up really well for being 13 years old now. it has some pretty big highs and some emotional moments and great direction with a very solid musical score.
I would love to watch a HQ 3D rip on my Quest 2 in Big Screen. Not really sure how exactly to make that happen based on some searches but it would be pretty nice.
Avatar: Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom was one hell of an experience too.

The first movie tops Endgame already, nerd war has been going on.

At least. The budget for all 4 films is $1b. So Avatar 2's reported production budget is only $250m until we hear otherwise.
Not to mention god knows what they might find objectionable. Not playing NWH because the Statue of Liberty is in it is lol.
If it does do "poorly" it'll be because it misses China due to their BS.
They'll be a nerd war no matter what.
Ya'll are weird on both sides.
Me and the wife saw the trailer when we saw Dr Strange. Neither of us have seen the first one (probably the only two hasn't lol) but this trailer did nothing for us. Maybe should give 1 a watch.

I don't understand how the John Wick films are as popular as they are!
I still don't understand how Divergent isn't as popular as the MCU
Disney (Having both Avengers Endgame and Avatar):
Surprised how nobody is talking about how most of the top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time may potentially all be owned by Disney.
I saw Avatar as my first 3D movie and it was an amazing technical marvel with the 3D.
That's it. That's the only positive thing I can say about it. It's clear that it hits a sweet spot in the same way Transformers or Star Wars does with other audiences.
As someone who doesn't care for those other properties I can say with no bias that they occupy the same space in terms of quality. They are visual spectacles that appeal to "that audience" in whatever way you define that.

Will never top the classic Jupiter Ascending.Only but the best film franchise that has ever graced this Earth.
People just love that world. There are literally people coming off the Avatar Flight of Passage ride in Animal Kingdom with tears in their eyes.
I would say that, even if you don't like the story, there's definitely more to Avatar than just great visuals. Saldana's performance for example is tremendous and so is the direction, with action scenes that are shot with a clarity that is rare in blockbuster cinema. Excellent soundtrack too. And Stepehen Lang makes for a cool villain.
I was checking the Wiki and forgot this movie was actually nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the Academy Awards. Not bad for sci-fi blockbuster that "only has pretty visuals".

Saldana being tied to Worthington is such a tragedy.
Unless he starts screaming about numbers and pretending to be Gary Oldman he's just so...bland.
Yeah, he must be happy with these Avatar sequels because as far as I know he hasn't had much of a career besides that. Happy that Winslet and Yeoh are in this though. They're great.
