When TFA opened I was convinced that it would shatter Avatar’s record. Now, I’m not sure.
It still baffles me that Avatar made so much money in the first place. Most people I know say it was boring and forgettable (I agree).
Yeah same with Titanic, and on top of that it was mostly just a made up love story that dragged the deaths of 1500 real people into the situation for some reason. Then there are parts where it couldn’t bother to get the history right, so it’s not as bad as titanic, but Avatar was boring and preachy.
I have no idea how that movie was such a huge hit at the box office. I am guessing a lot of people agreed with me because I was working at Wal Mart at the time and the huge number of DvDs and Blu Rays that were ordered ended up in the five and seven dollar bins within two weeks of coming out. It seems most people didn’t want to rewatch this film at home.
The fact that both Titanic and Avatar were such huge hits baffles me to no end.
