‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Officially Passes $2 Billion at the BO!!!

Avengers: Infinity War is one step closer to making infinity dollars. The Marvel Studios sequel officially crossed the $2 billion mark at the worldwide box office today, marking a genuinely rare achievement. It’s only the fourth film in history to break that barrier, and the third to do so in its initial run (Titanic hit $2 billion on re-release). It’s also, it should be said, Disney’s … Continue reading ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Officially Passes $2 Billion at the BO!!!

James Cameron Says the ‘Avatar’ Sequels Are a ‘Godfather’-Like Family Saga!!!

It’s been nearly nine years since a James Cameron film graced cinemas (2009’s Avatar), the longest stretch since the auteur blasted onto the scene and forever changed the science fiction landscape with The Terminator. But this absence isn’t due to any sabbatical – Cameron’s actually been hard at work on a series of mysterious Avatar sequels (four in total) and an equally enigmatic Terminator reboot. At the press day for Cameron’s upcoming six-part docu-series James Cameron’s Story … Continue reading James Cameron Says the ‘Avatar’ Sequels Are a ‘Godfather’-Like Family Saga!!!

Avengers: Infinity War may be hitting theaters in a matter of weeks, but the Black Panther train is still rolling. February’s Marvel Studios release surpassed expectations in its first weekend to record-breaking box office, and “surpassing expectations” was the name of the game as the film continued to have a strong hold week after week. The result? It’s the highest grossing Marvel movie ever released … Continue reading ‘Black Panther’ Passes ‘Jurassic World’ to Become #4 Movie of All Time at Domestic BO!!!

James Cameron Says if ‘Avatar’ 2 and 3 Flop There Won’t Be ‘Avatar’ 4 and 5!!!

While we should all know by now not to bet against James Cameron, 20th Century Fox’s decision to invest in four Avatar sequels still seems risky when you consider the current level of interest in the franchise despite the record-setting box office of the original. Nevertheless, production has begun on the first two Avatar sequels and as we previously reported, it will be making use … Continue reading James Cameron Says if ‘Avatar’ 2 and 3 Flop There Won’t Be ‘Avatar’ 4 and 5!!!

20th Century Fox Sets Release Dates for Four ‘Avatar’ Sequels Between 2020 & 2025!!!

For quite some time, I’ve been relatively certain that all this talk of James Cameron making not one or two or three but four Avatar sequels was complete and total hogwash. How could you do it? Cameron clearly has an ego, so I understand why he would talk about such lunacy, but there’s no way audiences are going to keep coming back for four more … Continue reading 20th Century Fox Sets Release Dates for Four ‘Avatar’ Sequels Between 2020 & 2025!!!

‘Avatar 2’ 2018 Release “Not Happening”, Says James Cameron!!!

By now, we were supposed to have already seen the Avatar sequels. If James Cameron had stuck to his original plan, Avatar 2 would’ve been released in 2014, and Avatar 3 would’ve capped the trilogy in 2015. And yet, as Cameron continued to design the sets and worlds of the sequels, he expanded the story, assembling a writers room in 2013 that consisted of Josh … Continue reading ‘Avatar 2’ 2018 Release “Not Happening”, Says James Cameron!!!

James Cameron Confirms ‘Avatar’ Sequel Scripts Are Finished & Begin Filming in August!!!

There are plenty of reasons to not take James Cameron seriously. He’s known for having a pretty enormous ego and his films, though often breathtaking to watch, are consistently betrayed by hokey, uncomplicated writing in his screenplays. He is a visionary, without question, but no one said that someone with a distinct vision also has the tools to write in a way that gives a … Continue reading James Cameron Confirms ‘Avatar’ Sequel Scripts Are Finished & Begin Filming in August!!!

James Cameron Announces Four ‘Avatar’ Sequels!!

The Avatar sequels have become their own punchline. Yes, one would assume that the highest grossing film of all-time would get a sequel, but 2009 was a long time ago, and enthusiasm for the movie has fizzled in the years since. Perhaps if they had kept on their original timetable, or if James Cameron played by normal franchise rules (non-stop tie-ins, merchandising, etc.) it would … Continue reading James Cameron Announces Four ‘Avatar’ Sequels!!
