Avatar's Audience Appeal

[chukkkles]

It made 6 times its budget!

[Ultimaterocker102]

I don't think they should make an Avatar 2. It might wreck the Avatar franchise, and I wouldn't take the chance - it would be hard to surpass the first.

[ZeraxCampai]

@Ultimaterocker102 well we are talking about James Cameron... the man never made a bad sequel... Did he even made a sequel ever, by the way ;P?

[Ultimaterocker102]

@ZeraxCampai ha ha. but he did the terminators, so, i guess so

[chukkkles]

@Ultimaterocker102 That's what people said about Alien and Terminator...This is James Cameron!!!!!!

[Ultimaterocker102]

@chukkkles Hm. Yeah. You have a point there :P

[SolidSnake032486]

This movie made almost three billon dollars, that's probably about ten times whatever the budget and marketing cost were. Plus, the sequels are going to be cheaper to make because the technology it will take to make them they have already invented with the first film. Like most sequels to blockbuster movies they will likely make more money than this one. One hell of an investment on the part of 20th Century Fox to give to James Cameron.

[SolidSnake032486]

The budget of this movie got blown way out of proportion. It didn't cost over 400,000,000 it probably didn't even cost over 300. The truth is no one really knows how much this movie cost not even the producers because it took a huge amount of money to develop the technology that went into making the movie, a lot of which that went unaccounted for. Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End still holds the record for the most expensive movie ever made at $300,000,000.

[Adiorocks949]

[Videogamestwin]

This movie was AMAZING !!!! There's not enough words to describe how much i loved it. James Cameron is truly a great filmmaker. BEST FILM EVER !!!!!!!

[271207]

Hahaha, those box office predictions about Avatar always make me laugh. 'It'll PROBABLY earn it's money back'. Loser. It's earned it's money back like six times over...

[wowhorde12]

[MisterRyGuy]

[Usul573]

Do you think it would of had to make at least $500 million to make a profit? Or more like $800?

Obviously it made A LOT

[CapitalNatasha]

this is not about native americans, this is about africa period. why because africans when they never descovered other parts of the world, they all looked the same. just like the navi do, their soundtrack i african, their clothing is kenyan, their plants are ugandan, some of the words are swahili. Ths is exactly what happened when the ex africans had come to destroyed their own people

[ELMER832007]

wow that dude was like "it probably will make it's money back" well he was way off.. at 2.24 billion is still going he wasn't even close.. dvd sales and stuff is still on the way

[DarthXephron]

@ELMER832007

2.4 billion now. I wouldn't be surprised if it reached 3 billion, it may be close but who knows.

[powerovergamec]

[masterofrockets]

[ad627]

The main reason I found Avatar so amazing was how much it resonated spiritually with me.

[JJandKKole]
