Avatar 2 sails past $2 billion ticket sals

https://archive.ph/ih6Mx

Seriously how except shenanigans?

It’s now official, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has become the sixth movie ever to cross the $2B mark worldwide. It is also the filmmaker’s third to hit the milestone, alongside Titanic and the original Avatar.
The mega-achievement was presaged ahead of the weekend with the global gross on the 20th Century Studios/Disney sequel now $2.024B through Sunday. That includes $1.426B from overseas turnstiles. This means that offshore, Way of Water has become the No. 4 title of all time, jumping past Avengers: Infinity Warand behind only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame and Titanic. This gives Cameron bragging rights to three of the top four movies ever at the international box office.

Please make other movies.

This leaves me crestfallen. Just as it looked like Hollywood could no longer tread out this garbage, they hit pay dirt.

 

[Catler]

I couldn’t believe anyone still cared about Avatar, but I guess apparently everyone does.

 

[Fungible penis]

I don't know anyone who saw it, or has even talked about it. I know India was a huge market for the first one.

India loves horrible garbage. That's why it do so well there.

I'll take Avatar over more pointless capeshit.

I'm still baffled that the first one made as much as it did. I'm even more baffled that this one made almost as much. Who the fuck likes this shit?? Is it all normies?

This doesn't mean anything.

So this must be how movie critics feel…

I was hoping it’d bomb too.

 

[Rembrandt]

Eh, it was fine. At least Puss in Boots 2 got some recognition amidst all this, it'd be terrible if that bombed

 

[General Emílio Médici]

It could be Indians watching it as a way to get their fix fo shitty movies after the pandemic but I would not put it past Hollywood from being simply faking these numbers. I am sure you could do some amazing money laundering with a movie theater.

I've seen more action when watching an old lady cough up a tonsil rock. No thank you.

 

[Tom Myers]

Why would you want to watch that garbage? The first one was only popular because of the 3d. At least I can understand why people like Marvel garbage.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

2 billion in a month sounds fishy to me, but there were people who went to go see it. Feel like most of the audience were old people, though, and some kids apparently saw it, but I have no idea why in the first place.

I just know that it apparently was crawling its way to the number one spot most weeks, so that's why this sounds off to me.

Avatar 2 is popular because it's highly produced, not because of its messaging.

Small solace. People are stupid, which is why I do not believe in democracy.

Seconded.

I assume the books were cooked.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

I figured if anyone would be able to pull off $2 billion it would be James "I Shit Money" Cameron.

THe books are probably cooked to hell and gone, but it'll be successful enough that now we'll get to see the other three shitty blue cat people sequels.

Goddamn, I want the Solarian Space Force to just show up and planet crack these blue assholes.
