It wasn’t one of his reality shows, so it doesn’t count.

Sam Worthington is the non-cannibal Armie Hammer.  Studios invested hundreds of millions in his “star power” and audiences still don’t know who the fuck he is.  Under his headshot picture it says “not pictured.”

I would pay good money to see that you FilthyWhore!

I think it is unofficially renamed to The Lurid Channel

Those giant bugs are just regular bugs crawling on a photo! 

You can’t spell “nuclear” without “unclear”.

On the plus side, I will be saving $15 a month not paying for HBO Max as part of my own broader financial review!

While there’s zero chance that’s true, if what Cameron says is true and it needs to ‘make as much as the first one’ to break even then it’s in big trouble.  Box Office tracking as of today is $120-150 million opening.  It’s all word of mouth after that.  Even if it makes half of what the first one did that’s still a…

If I were better with the computers, I would make a program that could scrap various movie theater websites to see how many tickets they sold for each show. It wouldn’t shock me if movie studios didn’t already do this. This would provide a ton of useful information for them. With it, they could see if should run more…

Start the reactor.

I think it won’t be a good movie but it’ll do fine. It certainly looks pretty but plot-wise, profoundly uninteresting.

I can’t decide whether I want it to fail or not. I like to root for the underdog, but it’s a little hard to feel like the underdog is the massive tentpole movie that’s a sequel to the highest-grossing movie of all time, directed by a guy who has churned out several truly massive hits, just because everyone seems to be…

It is going to make a shit-tonne of money and there will be another one which will also make a shit-tonne of money leading to another one... whether it goes all the way to five films? I wouldn’t bet against James Cameron. Will it be “critically acclaimed”? Of course not. Do the masses give a sh!t about that? No. 

Wouldn’t surprise me. There has been a long gap between movies and a lot of people remember the first as having great visuals but a rather hollow and forgettable story. And the movie has a huge production budget, although a portion of it was subsidized by New Zealand.

But wasn’t that the word on the street for both Titanic and the original Avatar as well? Even Aliens was scene as a risky movie to make at the time. I’m not saying it won’t happen but I wouldn’t never bet against James Cameron.

Seems believable to me that it would fail - I never understood why they’d do a sequel in the first place. But then I don’t understand the appeal of plenty of movies/tv shows...  The reviews have been positive, so maybe curiosity will bring people to theaters?

My uncle who works at Nintendo told me the same thing!
