Make her red, and make her Hellgirl.

I swear that Avatar only did well because a small but very dedicated fanbase watched it a million times each. I never saw it, looked meh.

Avatar was not a good movie.

I can’t wait to see what color she plays next!

 Avatar (2009) Zoe Saldana played Neytiri. But fuck me right?

Avatar was dope AF

And still not the highest paid actress in Hollywood

Probably lack of name recognition. People don't know her by name casually.
That’s valid

She's hot no matter what color she is

Also Spock’s girlfriend in the new star treks.
gr33narrow
you mean Uhura? An actual important character?
Didn’t know her name, but thanks for going all extra on me insinuating I was intentionally leaving her name out as some form of sexism.
Actually wasn't going for sexism nor racism. Just seemed odd that people would forget her.

If there is a new Star Trek movie, Uhura needs to go undercover as an Andorian, might do the movie some good

Nope, Fern Gully was animated Dances With Wolves.

Not even the slightest chance. People flocked to Avatar to see the tech, not the movie itself.
SquidShadeyWadey
Honestly them rereleasing the movie again just to get the extra money makes me feel like not acknowledging the record break. Avatar did it
In one release, Endgame did it in 2
bububub2
It actually didn't, Avatar re-released and stayed in theaters way longer. I'd say its a fair comparison.

And about to do the trifecta with avatar 2
I hope not. The first Avatar was just meh but somehow idiots still went nuts for it.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Avatar 1 got the money it did because it had the benfit of 3D being a new tech. Avatar 2 won't touch it.
live2dyec4
It depends, Cameron needs to force a change in the industry like he did with Avatar 1 (CGI, realism, 3D)
SpecialProjectY
Think it will be a prequel, Earth was insanely fucked over during Avatar, couldn't launch another expedition.
Styxwash
I still didn't watch Avatar 1
dmil103
Why would anyone see a sequel to a movie they didn't love and can't remember anything about?
27yoUGLYvirgin
So you honestly doubt that that movie will make billions? Like, really?
DwigtSchrude
doubt avatar 2 will do anywhere near as well. its a different time, and it wont have the 3D craze to buff it
IOvercookedmyeggsagain
Wow. I hope she does another sequel to Drum line
Vergenbuurg
I honestly don't think it's going to be that big of a deal... the first one is probably the highest-grossing film that people forgot about.
WytLytnin
Ever seen Pocahontas 2? ...Exactly.
shibaMew
Yeah, who's seen star wars episode 5?
RPCd
Only if it is a he first blockbuster in 4d. Without 3d avatar would have had the same box office success, as its cultural relevance.
Evi1Gav
Dunno why you guy the down vote, spot on IMHO, have an up vote.
MrGrundy
Without 3d, it's just Ferngully in cgi
ThePastmaster
With a better plot.
hyperspaceaidsmonkey
Avatar's only claim to fame was high quality CG, I don't think they can step that game up again.
greyrey
Never doubt James Cameron though. He has defied expectations before and is likely to do it again.
Also, it was like the first really good visual quality 3D movie that was filmed with two cameras, instead of converted afterwards.
squintish
I believe they invented motion capture specifically for that film. And it also got worldwide attention because it 'popularized' the ->
Motion capture is much, much older. Like not even this century older. They might have invented a new method though.
CGI motion capture
Still last century. PSX classics used motion capture since it was more cost effective than animating themselves.
the sort of problems faced by many indigenous tribes trying to prevent development of ancestral lands.
TheYoungGod
Idk. I don't think it'll do all that great. When I watched the first one, I remember thinking it was a solid movie, but that was it.
HypnoJack
They'll probably rerelease Avatar 1 before the sequel is released. So it might pass Endgame. That would be funny.
MiracleWhoop
It's going to kill. Not. Huge fan but the stage is set. A2 is going to crush
Daeyelle
I’ve watched it at least 30 times, it’s my all time favorite movie. It’s basically just like going on an adventure

idiosamatik
That’s pretty much it save for “unobtainium” ugh
ThisIsAPrivateResidenceMan
it might not beat any records, but avatar 1 will be re-released, and she'll go back to being the blue girl in the highest grossing movie
palmo
Why would people go out to see it again when it's streaming on like 3 platforms. It isn't that good of a movie. It's just pretty.
I wouldn't see it again, I didn't like it. But they will re-release it with each avatar sequel and it will keep making money
Kangadilla
The first one only made what it did beacause it was a breakthrough in terms of 3d and CGI, and everyone wanted to see a cool 3d movie.
WTT24
It was definitely just for the 3D novelty. Ask yourself how often people talk about the movie. Never, because it really wasn't that great.

Marxthird
This. Avengers has what Avatar does not and it makes all the difference: memorable and lovable characters that audiences care about.
Thanks to Moore's Law, we could have "breakthrough" movie every 2 years if someone could care to make one.
Moore's law hasn't been true for nearly a decade, he himself has said so. We're approaching the physical limit of current tech.
True, nevertheless every "now and then" one can make a movie and it will be a pinnacle of achievement of a current tech.
