That's literally what I just described... (ffs I watched it before even posting).
It's fine if you like Avatar though.
Deserves every bit of it.
Guess which movie does not have universal acclaim on Metacritic.
Some people's brains literally turn off when they think about Avatar, don't they.
My brains just fine mate, nothing you just posted contradicts what I said. Go take a look at the reviews and overall opinions on the film, specifically what its weakest point was. I guess we can file this as an example of someone (with an outlier like genuine appreciation of Avarar as a whole) interpreting critisms as 'hating on Avatar'.

God I'm so tired of talking about fucking Avatar and pretending it didn't defy everything even with a kinda wack opening weekend
It's a fun movie that hits on all cylinders + Cameron's fucking magic voodoo or whatever, it's both mind boggling and kinda logical that it's the final boss
Paddington can kiss my ass tho

Hell, yeah.
I have proof that you enjoyed Paddington though...
avatar is only known for the box office and cameron. When was the last time it was quoted?
Avatar was groundbreaking in a lot of respects, especially in vfx, but it wasn't a movie that lends itself to watching it outside of theaters or even just re-watching it. I think that's why nobody talks about it besides its box office and the sequels.
I'm sorry if my post comes across as fucking. I think it easy to misread tone from text.
That said, the mojo chart about ticket sales is not accurate. They just divided the total gross to average ticket price or something like that. And it's domestic.
About the picture chart it's actual money like you said, so it has no bearing on the argument about ticket sale because there are many other factors to consider between actual money and amount of ticket. Especially inflation and exchange rate.
It's no easy at all to check ticket sales/admission because many countries including the US do not release these information.
For countries with admission, I have information from South Korea about Avatar and Endgame:
Endgame: admission 13,831,771 total gross 104,015,033$ (for now but it wont change much)
Avatar: admission 13,624,328 total gross $111,345,404$
As you can see Avatar admission is lower than Endgame but gross more because exchange rate.
I made this post just to say that comparing ticket sales worldwide is not possible for us normal joe.
Edit: oh I just realize i confused between the mojo chart and the picture chart in the last post. Sorry about that.

Not anymore you don't!
Motherfucker nobody talks about it because EVERYBODY ALREADY SAW IT A DECADE AGO lol
And it obviously had hella repeat people, you don't get to 2.8 Billy without em
Avatar was a great theater experience, nothing more, nothing less.
Cameron has made better movies, but Avatar was tailor made to be experienced in theaters, its brilliant in that way.

Yeah that's why it was the highest selling blu ray for 4 years
I imagine the popularity lent it to be a great selling blueray, it also came out when bluerays were starting to become more widespread, so its a great recognizable film to add to your new collection.
Thanks for clarifying, I understand what you meant now and you too have made a good point.
Avatar was literally a reference piece for videophiles on Blu Ray lol
It was that, Speed Racer, and Planet Earth

Yea this too, it was reference material at the time.
One of those movies you wanted to show off to people to impress them with your new 1080p TV.
I have those receipts. Bronson liked Paddington. Even praised how well it was shot.
Sadly, since he has no power anymore I cannot blackmail or extort him.
More so if you were one of those twenty people that actually bought a 3D TV and enough 3D glasses for everyone.
Or you got a passive 3D set like me, then you could keep the glasses from the theater!
I still have my panasonic 3D plasma from 2010. Sadly, never got the 3D player or glasses to utilize it, but it had superior picture quality for 2D which is why I went for it.
Now onto LG OLED. Gotta stay consistent for black levels and viewing angles at home.

What the hell is going on, end game not passing Avatar has seriously addled some minds. Your favourite movie isn't top grossing of all time, Jesus Christ move on. And then no matter what supported arguments are made apparently are incorrect because reasons. Only popular in theater, but best selling BluRay "yeah but!". No one ever talks about, a movie that came out a decade ago "yeah but!". It was always a bad movie, countless good reviews "yeah but!"
And @jett , you know what film does have universal acclaim?
GOAT sequels:
Godfather 2
Aliens
The Two Towers
Empire Strikes Back
Paddington 2
Hey!
I have this TV (un65js8500) (along with the KS8000) and it has 3D, I am very proud lol
One of the best purchasing decisions I've ever made.
Look man I was poor then, now in the Year of our Lord 2019, I am still poor
You were suppose to put those glasses in the bin so the theater can barely wash them and reuse them.
Wrong thread. This is strictly AVATAR v Endgame. Come back at the end of summer for everything else.
Maybe then you shouldn't have bought a 3D TV then. If I remember right that stupid shit cost like 30-50% more than a 2D one when they first came out.
OLEDs where its at for movies, I would even buy Avatar if it came out in 4k UHD.
Not the Vizio one hell yeah boooooi
650 dollar TV
Put on a shitty 15 dollar TV stand
God I wish I knew what the hell I was doing back then
List checks out, expect it is missing Terminator 2 as well.
Terminator 1 is better.
