Stiff Competition - The Hobbit Trilogy
Hey guys! Okay so over the last couple days its been Hobbit mania with the world premiere of the first of third respected Hobbit films due out over the span of three years; 2012, 2013 & 2014 in New Zealand. I was just on the IMDB and I saw the rating on the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey page and it said 9.3/10 which is higher then Avatar AND The Dark Knight Rises. I'm only reading The Hobbit now after so many years of neglecting it only because I'm eager to see the movie. So I was wondering if The Hobbit trilogy will pose a threat to the Avatar trilogy/quartet in terms of box office grossing. If the Avengers could get to almost 2 billion dollars then so can The Hobbit. This is Peter Jackson who is partially responsible for the Adventures o…
Avatar sequel filming to start in September (hopefully)
Hey guys! So I was on the wikipedia page for Avatar a minute ago and apparently filming is due to start in September for the sequels. Can someone please check to make sure this is right?
UPDATE: Avatar box office pspot safe... for now!
Okay so the Avengers has been out for about a month now in the States and has surpassed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. The amount of money that the Avengers has been ranking in as decreased over as few weeks so its good to say that Titanic and Avatar are currently safe as the highest grossing films of all time. So will the Avengers even get to the 2 billion dollar mark? I don't think so now. I was reading comments on the page I was reading and people are still dissing Avatar saying that 'It's a rip off of other films and books and stuff' and blah blah blah. I have now given up trying to state that Avatar is one of the best movies ever. I feel that there are very few Avatar fans left in the world and that Avatar 2 and probably…
Will the Avengers unseat Avatar?
I know that this isn't related to Avatar at all I just wanted to post this in case some you haven't noticed. I was just on imdB (Internet Movie Database) and Marvel's new film 'The Avengers' has been out just 2 weeks arund the world and it is on its on its way to beating both JC's Avatar and Titanic. For Titanic, it took a year for it to reach 1.7 Billion Dollars while Avatar took just 7 weeks to beat it by $1 Billion. Which raises the question: will it take just 3 weeks for the Avengers to beat two of our favourite films? I think it will. I know that its been 3 years since Avatar's release but I was really hoping that the record would remain Avatar's until the release of Avatar 2 in 2015/16. What do you guys think?
Avatar 2: Not Likely in 2014
Hey all. Now, I know that we all know Avatar 2 won't be released in 2014 while Jon Landau has denied any delay in production while being interviewed for the re-release of Titanic in 3D, we are likely to head back to Pandora in 2015 at the earliest. While this great news, its still not enough to go on while we all know that Sam, Zoe and Sigourney are returning as their respected it will be exciting to find out what our favourite characters have been up to.
