FWIW, Avatar is not original. It's an almost exact copy of Pocahontas.


Oh, I know It was just directed at his senseless arguing. I hate Avatar

OK


I guess I was replying to a post that was replying to a post that was replying to my post.
I didn;t like Avatar, it's opening is not the nest, but it went on to become the highest grossing movie ever. I guess if anything the point was that movie openings should be seen as a marathon and not a sprint.

Movies like Avatar are by far the exception. It "had legs" as they say. It was a unique cinematic experience we had not experienced yet. I personally saw Avatar 4 times in the theater, the most I have ever seen any movie in the theater. I have seen it once on Blu Ray since then.

Avatar also benefited from a dearth of other movies, same as Frozen when it came out.

Most movies make about 40% of their box office on the opening weekend. A movie has to have incredible word of mouth to continue performing like Avatar and Frozen did, and of course rely heavily on repeat viewings.
