I think if it makes in the $600s, some might start to worry. Otherwise, with box, home and merch they'll be fine.

The last 2 MI did nearly $700m WW, thats really good, Tom Cruise > Justice League :)
It physically hurts that MI2 is still the highest grossing one domestic. That movie was dog shit and everything that came after it was fantastic.
If you go to the direct source they used it shows that Rogue One's budget was $220 million after $45 million in tax incentives. Solo would have similar tax incentives.
If MI6 carries the same quality as the last two but doesn't make at least $250m domestic, I'm gonna be really bummed.
They definitely went way over budget after reshooting 70% of the film but it doesn't mean their expectations for the financial performance of the movie changed.
I think there's a strong chance it falls short. I really like the MI franchise but I just run into a lot of people that are big fans. Not sure if it's the Tom Cruise effect or what.
Shave his head and put some makeup on him...Dude's got the weirdest head shape, I'd be so down for this!
make no mistake about it, the right film which blew up at the cinema can still add an additional 100m+ WW from home video sales
up until a couple of years ago i used to be the quality manager at the UKs largest digital media replication plant (there were only 3 for the studios in the UK, so it wasn't that bigger deal)
the last big title we did before i left was Fast and Furious 7, at 1.8m units on dvd and 600k units on blu-ray
even at £10 each, that's £24m or $32m, from one single territory (granted probably the 2nd or 3rd biggest home video territory, but still)
throw in a big home video release in the US, and again you can easily see how some titles can add 100m to total revenue
also, at the time i left, 20th century fox and universal pictures had got us down to 8p (or 11 cents) per 'vanilla' dvd unit, and 21p (28 cents) per 'vanilla' blu-ray unit (vanilla was; case, inlay, single disc, and overwrap (so no sticker, insert, or additional disc))
the outlay from the studio for a 2.4m unit order of fast and furious 7 was probably around $400k (adding a bit extra on for 'variants', which are two disc versions, art cards, steelbooks, etc)
a $400k manufacturing outlay for $32m in revenue (which is obviously further cut into to pay the wholesalers) is pretty rewarding
i was constantly astonished just how much power the major studios had over replicators and how much they stretched the bottom line year on year
physical home video might slowly be diminishing in numbers, but the cost to produce it for the studios is still ridiculously cheap
Not necessarily. As ticket prices continue to rise and the global box office continues to grow, Avatar will eventually fall, when looking at un-adjusted grosses. That won't detract from what Avatar (and Titanic) accomplished at those specific places in time, though.
I want to see a Top 5 made up entirely of Avatar and Avenger films in the next 5 years.
1. Avatar 1
2. Avengers Infinity War 1
3. Avatar 2
4. Avengers Infinity War 2
5. Avatar 3
Dude's got the weirdest head shape, I'd be so down for this!
MCU Hammerhead?
We belong dead!Dude's got the weirdest head shape, I'd be so down for this!
I'll do you one better:
He's ALWAYS been Uatu. He fucked up the F&F timeline in order to to get the wheels turning and culminate in the biggest crossver event ever.
This is how two worlds collide.
Now, heroes from different dimentions will have to learn to deal with their differences like a family in order to restore balance in the universe and avenge Han's death.
Why? It means we are going to see 3 amazing quality films in the next 3 years.
Really don't see the Avatar sequels hitting 2 billion. Besides that, Lion King is gonna be up there. I could see:
1. Avatar
2. Titanic
3. Avengers Infinity War
4. Force Awakens
5. The Lion King
Bonus: All Disney properties!

Damn, that's a head-top. You could put a proto-canon on that head-top and still have space.
T'Challa doesn't have a North Carolina accent either.
Don't be dumb lol
Lucas Black doesn't have anywhere near the acting skills as Chadwick Boseman. At least he tried to stay with the Wakanda accent.
Wanda doesn't even pretend to have an accent half the time anymore.
I was halfway kidding. Don't be dumb.
Wanda's lived in the US for three and a bit years. Stuff happened off screen.
This is my head canon for it too, and it'd suffice if she hadn't struggled to keep it going as far back as Age of Ultron.
It was never a very good acting job lol
Also the Russos said it was part of her training (see beginning of civil war).
She shouldn't have had it in the first place. If an accent makes it problematic to act, don't use it.
The letter A about to assert its dominance over all others.
Other than the pure visual experience, I did not care for Avatar and I do not wish the sequel success, unless they are a good deal better stories. Cameron hasn't made a movie with a story I liked since True Lies.
Bow Wow would need to be the lead in a Tokyo Drift sequel. He'll actually be old enough to drive what is considered to be the best live-action version of the Hulk.
/s
The best kind of brand synergy.
I do find it pretty dumb that Cameron and co called Battle Angel 'Alita: Battle Angel' just to keep up the T and A superstition lol.
Nobody knows wtf Alita is. That's some John Carter shit right there.

Nobody knows what Battle Angel is either. At least they kept that part in the name unlike the John Carter debacle.

I'm telling you, it's coming. They aren't milking the super fans nearly enough. The fans that fly to comic con to see 1 minute of exclusive footage. The fans that buy a $300 Hot Toy of Captain America with a beard. That's when the current records start dropping like flies.
And all the normies will have to wait an extra week to pay regular ticket prices. Good luck avoiding spoilers, kids!

Marvel is doing fine milking the fuck out of Funko fans. Actually, they need to tell Funko to fuck off with those bobble heads and make regular vinyls.
He's only made two movies since True Lies. Titanic and Avatar. Plenty of people found both likable enough.
Yeah, but Battle Angel or even Battle Angel Alita rolls off the tongue a lot easier and to me is easier to stick in people's minds than the awkward title they have now.
I wasn't arguing "plenty of people" I was expressing my own hopes. As in, I hope Avatar doesn't make bank and we don't see more and more of them. If A2 is a better story than Avatar or Titanic I will be pleasantly surprised. Nothing Cameron has said in 10 years makes me think he's going to make a movie that I'll like much.
Avatar was a heck of a visual experience with a crap story, and I outright hated Titanic.
