Oh fuck, I've been inactive lately so I didn't see the thread. Alright, PhoncipleBone, I'll take my avatar. Preferably something Terminator 1 related but I know I'm in no position to negotiate lol.
Ask, and it is given.

Here is my humble contribution for PhoncipleBone's new avatar:
bL7M3uz.png
I don't see a lot of people posting avatars for Pbone, so I'm going to submit one:

1061660-prv4084_pg4.jpg


I want you to wear Mysterio for a bit. Wear it with pride for having to put up with this nonsense.

And don't you tell me to give you something else. The rent is due. This is my payment back.
If somebody could shrink this down to avatar size, this will be my submission:

(inspired by El Bombastico)
So, the aforementioned friend did this as a rough draft.

He says he can do better, but it gives you an idea on what I'm aiming for.
OK, one last pass at this. Decided to Papyrus it up like the rest of y'all.

And what it looks like when shrunken down:

This isnt my final entry, but Cuburger submitted this hilarity to me as a potential entry. Apologies to Scott Bakula, but this is the new front runner.

I adore the avatar you made Phon, I might just wear it awhile once I'm not on mobile :p

I want to submit this avatar for Phon to wear:

Alright, these are the 7 entries that got in on time. Pop-O-Matic , I will lump all yours in as one entry or if you want it whittled down just a single one just let me know and post in here.

Poll is up for all of Era to vote over the next three days.

The worldwide total of Avatar includes the $33ish million from the special edition release in 2010.

Well yeah.

But let's be honest here, Avatar didn't need a re-release to become the biggest movie in the world, and only by a handful of millions for that matter.

I wouldn't call it a hollow victory, but it's very much a lame win. Ten years later and this is what the biggest entertainment brand in the world can muster in the most ambitious crossover of all-time with hype values at the maximum possible zenith?

Hey, winning is winning. But this might be the smallest margin ever for a film to become the new #1.

You guys are straight up assuming another movie can beat Avatar the same way Avatar beat Titanic.

We're in diminishing returns territory. Until every territory expands their theater count massively, don't expect any movie to ever blow past Avatar by nearly 800m.

Plus, expanding theater counts globally might not be the most pressing issue going forward with global warming becoming more and more of a crisis within the coming decades.

This may literally be the best the box office will ever do.

We might be at the threshold for opening weekend without expanding theaters, but a film can play for months and months to climb the full total gross.

Sure, but I wouldn't expect that record to be completely shattered like it was previously. I could possibly see 100-200m over the record, but 800m? I feel like you'd need to do a billi in China alone for that, which may be possible, but seems unlikely. I wonder which will hit a billi first, domestic or China.

Great that this is finally over.

Hope no one made an avatar bet on Lion King.

Now that would've been stupid.
