Fixed It!
Kinda like Everest. But better.
This is exactly how I feel about it! Yes, it's a fantastic ride, but some people act like it's better than breathing air. If that giant bug was in B mode and it wasn't on the other side of the planet, you all would be treating it with the same respect you give Everest: a great facade with an OK ride.
AND
If you wanna look at something pretty, fine, Journey is better. But from a technical perspective, Test Track is better. It has a longer track, it goes faster, and it's practically a minute longer ride. And, SORRY if you think it's absurd to bring that up, but these aren't just dark rides, they're thrill rides.
So do you want it or not at AK?
That it is, but if it at least stays fairly solid for a bit state-side, it may have a chance to surpass what Torn: Legacy pulled in Worldwide at $400M. It has brought in $100M if you count overseas so as long as it doesn't drop too much, i'd think it should recover it's budget at least.It is indeed flopping quite hard. No question about it (domestically at least):
Oh I understand. And it still won't even. When I said that, I meant it would earn that amount. The film cost about $250M to make. From what i've read, it's being compared to Prince of Persia in that it'll probably make around $90M Domestically and around $245-250M Overseas. Together that's about $340M if it's lucky. Hollywood Reporter is saying it needs to make about $600M to cover the costs, which obviously will never happen short of a miracle.But theaters do not run money for free. There are a lot of costs that will not be recovered until home video market.
Jim Hill just ran a story saying that Avatar isn't dead. According to his source, a VP of Communications at Disney, "It's a bad story. Don't believe it." Odd choice of words, "It's a bad story."

Personally, I don't believe the non-believer. A VP of Communications? Of course he's going to deny that it's dead. They aren't going to announce "it's dead" a few months after the announcement. That would be waaaaay too embarrassing. If the rumors really are coming from the ground floor, I'd believe those over anything else. Just because you won't admit it's dead doesn't mean that things aren't falling apart. But that's just my two bits.
I'll take his denial as proof it is dead.
