AVATAR,,, I finally saw it .. I must admit I wasn't thrilled about seeing a 3 hour cartoon .. not for me .. With out a clue I went to a 3D showing . I didn't know you could choose . They show the movie in 3D and you can also go to a show thats not in 3D. I put the glasses on ,, got this queasy feeling and thought for a moment ,,This is gonna suc .. I gotta tell you 3 hrs. went by pretty fast and the 3d was great .. I liked it and do recommend 3D veiwing.. 3D is way better than it use to be ..

Avatar No 1 for 6 weeks, ready to blow by Titanic for largest grossing film ever.

Tagger: did you IMAX 3D or standard theater 3D? IMAX 3D surely is best.

Not sure ... never did imax either .. I think it was standard ,,, Randolph .. Things were coming off the screen and going up the isle..

I think it has already, no?

Avatar #2 all time Titanic is on the horizon.I am just wondering why someone with 18,000+ post has not posted on this thread yet?:rotf2:

It could have happened or just about to happen, I saw Avatar was within about $2M of Titanic's gross.

I saw Larry at M&D's Sat .. I mentioned I saw the movie the night before (friday) .. His eyes crossed and smoke came out his ears .. I think he's had enough avatar ... only thing worse I could have said was Dunkin Dounuts .. :jump1:

Larry is just jealous that the avatar women are taller than he is.:smash::jump1:

Didn't Larry say this was the next Ishtar??? Lol

Avatar women are pretty hot .. I was checking them out ..

If Captain Kirk can get his Shwerve on with a Green Chick....Why not a Blue chick :hee:

Larry is just jealous that the avatar women are taller than he is.:smash::jump1:

Aaaahahah
Thats what it is ! :grins:

Too quiet in here i need a Bigfish rant on Avatar c'mon Larry i know your out there :eyes::jump1:

Avatar sucks!:smash:

So we know that Larry's $12 did not help Avatar becoming the highest $ grossing film ever. I'll bet the time to reach this milestone was much faster with Avatar (what only 7 weeks) that for Titanic?

On the radio today they were saying that if they "AVERAGE" the amount taken in by the particular time frame the movie came out (or something to that effect)......Avatar would only be 26th all time with "Gone With The Wind" number 1! Titanic was #6 and Jaws #7......Star Wars #2!:uhuh:

It's been about two weeks since I've seen Avatar, and, though it was well worth the money, a fantastic visual experience, it has pretty well faded for me. Dances with wolves, to which it has been compared message-wise, still haunts me. I can watch a rerun of Dances and still get the fresh impact, visuals, message, acting, the whole nine yards. I have no interest in seeing Avatar again, but if I did, the only thing I'd want to see again is all those wildly imaginative scenic visuals.

Ahhhh.....the first voice of reason!:uhuh:

There seems to be some difference in numbers:
(this data is from 5th week)
Avatar's total stands at a monumental $504.9 million in 32 days, making it the fastest picture to cross the $500 million mark. The Dark Knight did it in 45 days, while Titanic took 98 days (or 50 days adjusted for ticket price inflation).

At the foreign box office, Avatar continued to rage, blazing past the $1 billion mark in record time and delivering the biggest fifth week gross ever.

The report I heard as I said Phil.....somehow they averaged the ticket prices against the total number of sales for the years the movies came out...................for example Avatar has the dollar benefit of todays prices against say Star Wars ticket prices from 1977! Just reporting what I heard....could care less......I am just entertaining Eastendlou!:rotf2:

Did anybody do the Ticket conversion on Ishtar to see where that was on the chart?

You know...just for Comparison Sake

Larry, I'm just entertaining you as you seem to have been drawn into another thread on AVATAR! This one should be good for what 25-50 posts on your way to 19,000.:jump1:

Avatar sucks!:smash:

Thanks Larry all is right in the world again:uhuh:.

:rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:
I think he did not like the monster in that flick looked too much like a bluefish.

My 83 year old mother joined the Avatar fan club. Every day sitting at home waiting for the box with all the movie swag in it. She is the bell of the building for going.

this about sums it up for me....story was sort of hokey...but the effects/visuals are groundbreaking...wifey wants to see it again at IMAX
