Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
Does he keep pushing it back to buy them enough time to be able to deliver the next technological breakthrough by the time it's released? He has quite a reputation to uphold, he knows he best come correct or not at all.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
It's guaranteed to disappoint. Whether technologically or financially or both.

If he sets this is space it will totally beat the first. If he doesn't no one gives a cur.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
I am still having faith in Cameron/Avatar franchise and then Fox's marketing department could be very effective when they want to. I also believe not having a movie for 13 years after Titanic helped Avatar which would similarly help Avatar 2 and after that its on the movie itself to hook its audience. I am sure Avatar 2 will go down in admissions but if it doesn't then it would most likely be the first movie to cross $1b domestically.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
Cameron recently said: "The interesting conceit of the Avatar sequels is it’s pretty much the same characters. There are new characters and a lot of new settings and creatures, so I’m taking characters you know and putting them in unfamiliar places and moving them on this greater journey. But it’s not a whole bunch of new characters every time. There’s not a new villain every time, which is interesting. Same guy. Same motherfucker through all four movies. He is so good and he just gets better. I know Stephen Lang is gonna knock this out of the park."
Interesting, and that alone has multiplied my interest in these sequels. I believe Cameron knows what to do. Many franchises fall into these pitfalls of needing a new villain each time, and I believe that Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be refreshing for not being the same, but it is also a worry that these five films also need to stand alone and not merge into one. That will be a feat, especially with no villains to differentiate them.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
But all the sequels are being filmed at the same time, which will be 3-4 years prior, so she will only look 72 years old.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
I'd be curious to see the estimate for what the sequels cost in total. You gain efficiencies through a consolidated production schedule (are they all shooting at once, I assumed...) but I wouldn't be surprised if the cost approaches $750m. If prints and advertising for all 4 movies is another $750m then that's $1.5m in total production costs. Multiply by 2 to get a very rough break-even approximation and you see why they're making sequels.
$3 billion will be made before Avatar 3 hits. The rest is profit.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
Filming for the main cast is done for Avatar 2 and 3.
Avatar 2 comes 11 years after the first. I'm feeling the 2nd won't see a huge dropoff from the first.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
The second one will probably still make $500m+ with 70% retention. It may have 80% retention seeing that it will be 11 years between films so $600m would be about right.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
The third and fourth films should free fall though.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
Be hilarious if Avatar 1 reclaims the top spot with it's re-release and then later Avatar 2 takes the crown.

Re: Avatar 2 Predictions
YAAASSSS! Get em James Cameron!
The King of the World will reclaim his (rightful) place as holder of the #1 movie of all time (still top 2 adjusted - Titanic and Avatar).
I'm all for it!

When do you expect we'll see the first teaser/trailer? Superbowl?
