How did avatar make so much money

Not a nerdy film. It's the opposite. It is a visual spectacle that was designed to be seen in the theater in 3d.

At the time it came out, if i remeber right, 3D movies at normal theatres was a relatively new thing and the visuals of that movie blew people's minds. I remember everyone that saw it all they could talk about was how awesome the visuals were.

Also without looking it up, I'm pretty sure it made a killing in China.

that movie has terrible research value, is never talked about as being an all time great yet no one is even close to touching it in box office revenue.

and Avatar 2, 3, 4, & 5 are all planned.

3D tickets cost more than regular tickets.

While people like to deride the unimaginative plot with its Ferngully ripoff, white savior complex, and clear environmentalist and anti-capitalist message, in 3D, in the movie theaters, it was an absolutely brilliant spectacle. No movie has ever used 3D to create such an immersive and breathtakingly gorgeous viewing experience as Cameron did with Avatar. It doesn't hold up on video or tv because it loses that quality which made it so increadible.

you can say that about most of the top ten all time movies

Because it was visually awesome to see on the big screen, and everyone likes Pocahontas so they didn't mind seeing the alien version.

Exactly. Nothing but shite.

Deserves an asterisk because it spent an absurd amount of time in theaters
