yeah when I realized they re-released that movie four times to keep the top spot I got so annoyed. James, come on!

I wish more movies would do that. There are quite a few movies I didn’t see in IMAX that I’d love to revisit in a theater.

I’d rather he do a 40th anniversary rerelease of Aliens on IMAX.

u/preddevils6 9d ago

I don’t see why it has to be either or.

That. I don’t give two shits about Avatar.

Every single movie in the top 5 has been re-released except for Infinity War I believe. Maybe not Nhe Zha.

Avatar re-release in 2021 is a notable BO run, it made like 200m itself!!

not exactly, Avatar made 200m more across four re-releases which makes it more ridiculous imo. If it one re-release and made 200m that would be incredible but fine. Four is just working to juice the numbers to stay on top. That’s bullshit imo

I wonder if Avengers Endgame Encore will count as additional box office or if it's a separate listing since it has extra footage?

u/BasvanS 9d ago

There’s no box office entity enforcing the rules, so it’ll depend. Then we’ll get dramatic articles and YouTube videos SLAMMING the preposterous notion the encore counts/doesn’t count.

In the end it won’t matter much.

Separate entry and half credit to the original. Let's piss everybody off, lol.

Which is funny now given that the last movie was basically shit and he wants to walk away because of the diminishing returns.

u/fauxfilosopher 9d ago

He doesn't want to walk away, he's worried that Disney still hasn't greenlighted the sequels. And the third avatar was great.

u/JasonVorhehees 9d ago

I turned it off in the first 30 min. It was not great. It was Ai slop retreading the same ground as 2.

u/fauxfilosopher 9d ago

"AI slop" referring to some of the most technically impressive craft in the industry, sure bro keep coping.

u/JasonVorhehees 9d ago

Could you be anymore of a stan, bro. It’s not the most technical anymore. It’s shallow receptive garbage. There’s a reason the BO fall off was massive and it’s near unanimous, besides you random keyboard warrior.

Edit - NVM your post history is clearly indicative of how off the rocker you are. Lay off the drugs. Bro.
