Re: Bit of both I guess, lol Aemon Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 06:13:04 PM
For some reason I forgot about worldwide renevue and was only thinking about hitting 550 Demestic, lol. Seriously though, that amount of cash is insane. The only thing that makes it worse is that he pulled it off, and as someone below said, he could basically make anymovie he wants now with any budget and he is likely to get approval.


Heh, I wondered about that. I noticed the domestic gross number after I responded to your post. Anyway, even if it WAS just recouping costs right now, that's still not bad, to be honest. There are movies that don't even break even in theaters, but still make money for the studios because of DVD sales. Any sort of profit from ticket sales makes for a pretty good film, as I understand it.

...also, the person who said that below was me.

Serious comment, or an exaggerated joke about Avatar's ridiculous budget? Aemon - 25/01/2010 07:49:28 AM 658 Views
I would be interested to know MightyYT - 25/01/2010 08:36:49 AM 651 Views
They might for someone who made Titanic. Aemon - 25/01/2010 02:05:08 PM 597 Views
Didn't he also shell out a hundred mil or more for advertising? Was that included in the amount? *NM* MightyYT - 25/01/2010 05:47:24 PM 273 Views
He did, I believe. Darth_Katie - 25/01/2010 03:15:46 PM 622 Views

From my understanding about a third of its cost was also marketing. *NM* Roland00 - 26/01/2010 12:15:18 AM 270 Views
Not this good, but it's alright. Worth watching I guess. *NM* Gher - 25/01/2010 04:30:58 AM 276 Views
I'm looking forward to see what Cameron does next. Aemon - 25/01/2010 07:54:54 AM 630 Views
Not enough to be the nominally top-grossing movie. Ghavrel - 25/01/2010 08:39:57 AM 715 Views
only because ticket prices are so high *NM* Beqi - 25/01/2010 09:25:07 AM 271 Views
Yeah. Inflation always bugs me w/ breaking these records. *NM* Zalis - 25/01/2010 02:51:31 PM 269 Views
Especially with so many people seeing it in IMAX. Those tickets generally cost $5 or so more. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 26/01/2010 09:26:42 PM 288 Views
It's a very enjoyable movie...but yes, probably not really worth THAT much *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 12:07:37 PM 251 Views
I did not expect it to make it ironclad - 25/01/2010 12:28:03 PM 647 Views
Worth seeing on the big screen. Just don't expect Citizen Kane. *NM* PhotoJim - 25/01/2010 01:12:46 PM 276 Views
No. It's not good at all. It's an 'experience'. That aside it's distinctly average. *NM* Wibble - 25/01/2010 01:24:06 PM 273 Views
I loved it. Alfheim - 25/01/2010 02:26:20 PM 772 Views
I would still expect him to like it. Aemon - 25/01/2010 06:38:48 PM 724 Views
people say that about Titanic, but I haven' seen it LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 07:18:38 PM 631 Views
Technically, that's supposed to be Gone with the Wind Chas - 25/01/2010 11:54:55 PM 696 Views
I just had the mental image of gone with the wind in 3-D LadyLorraine - 26/01/2010 01:54:05 AM 620 Views
The burning of Atlanta was really impressive in 3D *NM* Michael - 26/01/2010 10:29:34 AM 282 Views
