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 542 Views
I would be interested to know MightyYT - 25/01/2010 08:36:49 AM 535 Views
They might for someone who made Titanic. Aemon - 25/01/2010 02:05:08 PM 481 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 224 Views
He did, I believe. Darth_Katie - 25/01/2010 03:15:46 PM 486 Views

From my understanding about a third of its cost was also marketing. *NM* Roland00 - 26/01/2010 12:15:18 AM 224 Views
Not this good, but it's alright. Worth watching I guess. *NM* Gher - 25/01/2010 04:30:58 AM 224 Views
I'm looking forward to see what Cameron does next. Aemon - 25/01/2010 07:54:54 AM 497 Views
Not enough to be the nominally top-grossing movie. Ghavrel - 25/01/2010 08:39:57 AM 580 Views
only because ticket prices are so high *NM* Beqi - 25/01/2010 09:25:07 AM 215 Views
Yeah. Inflation always bugs me w/ breaking these records. *NM* Zalis - 25/01/2010 02:51:31 PM 222 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 235 Views
It's a very enjoyable movie...but yes, probably not really worth THAT much *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 12:07:37 PM 206 Views
I did not expect it to make it ironclad - 25/01/2010 12:28:03 PM 516 Views
Worth seeing on the big screen. Just don't expect Citizen Kane. *NM* PhotoJim - 25/01/2010 01:12:46 PM 220 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 219 Views
I loved it. Alfheim - 25/01/2010 02:26:20 PM 638 Views
I would still expect him to like it. Aemon - 25/01/2010 06:38:48 PM 536 Views
people say that about Titanic, but I haven' seen it LadyLorraine - 25/01/2010 07:18:38 PM 498 Views
Technically, that's supposed to be Gone with the Wind Chas - 25/01/2010 11:54:55 PM 555 Views
I just had the mental image of gone with the wind in 3-D LadyLorraine - 26/01/2010 01:54:05 AM 476 Views
The burning of Atlanta was really impressive in 3D *NM* Michael - 26/01/2010 10:29:34 AM 224 Views
