Your baffled response baffles me.

I hope your prediction comes true.

it will

It won't crack $300 mil.

you'll be singing a different tune after you see the trailer

As will you.

not in a million

What's Avatar even about?

The pictures we use when we post on a forum...I don't like that idea already!

BUMP

65/234

I've felt since day one if anything is going to take down Titanic, it'll be another Jim Cameron film.

And with all the references to Dances with Wolves and Pocahontas from Comic Con, I think Avatar has the romance angle covered. The Science Fiction/Fantasy, CGI 3D angle is covered. It's the perfect storm for mega success.

LOL, I'm honestly not even sold on $200m yet. I could see this flopping big time.

December is going to be fun!

You know what will be sad?

If Fox's A&C2 beat this movie.

Sad, or exciting?

Sad. I like A&C to some degree and was happy that it was hugely successful. A&C 2 will probably do similar business or slightly less but I don't want that to beat Avatar.

But it is the most family friendly movie of december and well it is coming off A&C, which kids absolutely loved.

Aside from I Am Legend, sci-fi has greatly struggled in December for many, many years.

Other than I Am Legend and TDTESS there have been no other sci fi films to open to $24 m or more. I Am Legend had the biggest box office star in the world to help it out.

2008
The Day the Earth Stood Still $79 m

2007
ALIENS VS. PREDATOR - REQUIEM
$42 m ($9.5 m opening day)

2005
Aeon Flux $26 m

2002
ST Nemesis $43 m

1999
Bicentennial Man $58 m

1998
STAR TREK: INSURRECTION $70 m

1996
Mars Attacks $38 m

Since 1992, December has been very difficult for sci-fi films. Even those with huge expectations disappoint (Mars Attacks). Outside of ST Insurrection and I Am Legend, it has been littered with flop after flop of sci fi films. I'm not saying that this will happen to Avatar, but it is important to consider just how unwelcoming the month can be for sci fi films. A $500 m leap is pushing it. A $300 m - 350 m total would be overperforming even more than I Am Legend, $400 m + would be from sweeping the Oscars. But $500 m? One can hope...

Since many of Comic Con comments post screening mentioned fantasy elements (flying dragons, floating creatures), maybe you should compare it to fantasy films as well.

It's a sci-fi film.

Not a fantasy film.

There are no flying dragons. Some flying creatures for sure though.

No floating creatures. There are floating mountains.

I would say it is more like sci-fi/fantasy/action/adventure/romance
