Avatar Breaks $2 Billion Mark

I seen it only once, what keeps people going back to it?

$3 BILLION here we come!!!

; D

That's impressive, the studios will definitly be going after Cameron now because that man doesn't just bring home the bacon he brings back a truckload of pigs ;)

I don't understand why people keep seeing Avatar. It's not like it had a unique plot. It was almost to predictable. The only reason i could understand was it's 3D Gimmick.
I don't mean to sound whiny but i find this news to be rather sad. the gimmick of 3D is the death of film.

grtman is right! More money doesn't represent as a sample of the population.

Your articles are having a good day Ozy, and you got 1st! lol...

If the 3d glasses thing is true, that makes me kind of sick - it's cheating. I paid almost $4 for mine, then they ask you to "recycle them". Lol an aluminum can is worth 5 cents; these guys are making a killing.

One thing that's for certain is that it's driving the industry toward 3d. Cameron's gonna make a killing off selling his technology too. Screw IMAX, I would have no problem waiting 3 or 4 more years to see Batman 3, The Avengers, etc. in 3d like Avatar. It should definitely be done. First 3d tv's coming later this year.

After Avatar, theatres should allow you to bring your own glasses... if that is really what's pushing the numbers, it's a disgusting scam imo. Probably costs about 30 cents to manufacture a pair of those glasses, and another 10 to distribute them.

Kes- you're probably right. I know I'm going to see it and it's the first movie I will have seen since Avatar. If Wolfman does dethrone Avatar, which at this point it seems that any big mainstream movie should do, it will bode very well for Captain America I think. It's a bit of luck, but whatever movie dethrones Avatar will get some extra notoriety.

Edge of Darkness looked like crap to me, and it hardly got any advertising. I had read quite a while ago that Mel was working on a big budget project about the Keltic warrior queen Bodecia (very cool true story similar to 300 and Braveheart). Guess that project never got off the ground. Then he got arrested for DUI and was making racial slurs. Afraid Mel's career has taken a turn for the worse. He should stick to historical epics, as I'd have paid money to see his Bodecia film.

LOL. That is all.

Poni - As far as Avatar goes, it completely blew my mind. I would pay the same money to see red and green sequels. I do think that if they're counting the glasses, it's a bit unfair to other movies in the industry - and the glasses themselves are definitely overpriced. That is my only complaint about the experience... the rest was gravy.

um, excuse me Multi, I happen to practice Jedi! You are not allowed to slander my religion so:( I challenge you to a lightsaber dual at dawn!

Check this out, funny shit.(if you like Izzard)

omg great movie but damn i am tired of hearing about this. i have seen the movie once AND I WORK AT A MOVIE THEATER! the movie was amazing dont get me wrong. but damn will ppl please stop goin to see this movie!?!? also it could be because of the 3D. at my theater it is $3 extra for a ticket if the movie is 3D. that does put alot of money onto the gross if u think about it


@ Multipurposeponi

It was only 237 million

I might have to disagree with you there Rorshach - I would argue that the 3d technology and potential demonstrated with it may, in fact, be as revolutionary as movies going from silent to talkies, and black and white to color.

But I'll give you the story is nothing truly groundbeaking.

As far as people killing themselves to become Na'vi, I hadn't heard about that... what can I say. I hadn't heard about that... makes me sick.
