‘Avatar’ Faces Traffic Jam at 3-D Screens

Expected it to gross 2 billion....

'Avatar' tops 'Titanic' record in U.S.
Cameron epic totals $601.2 million as of Wednesday



James Cameron's " Avatar" has completed its three-part flight into history, surpassing a domestic boxoffice record that's stood since the filmmaker's "Titanic" completed its theatrical run in 1998.

On Wednesday, "Avatar" distributor Fox said the scifi epic had rung up $601.2 million in domestic b.o. through Tuesday. "Titanic" registered $600.8 million in U.S. and Canadian coin.

The 3D phenom previously shredded the international and worldwide b.o. records set by "Titanic."

Updated totals for foreign and worldwide cumes are expected later today for "Avatar," which scored nine Oscar nominations.

A rise in ticket prices over the past decade-plus since "Titanic" gave "Avatar" a big advantage of its filmmaker's last dramatic feature. And 3D ticket upcharges represent another revenue-padder for "Avatar."

Movie admissions are another matter. First released in 1939, "Gone with the Wind" is still rated the top ticket seller of all time.

Asked about potential "Avatar" sequels, chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said on his quarterly earnings call Tuesday that the conglomerate is in "very early talks about it." Cameron "has ideas" for a sequel, he said, adding: "We will be pushing for one."

Of course, why not? It shows in the weekly summary records, it will definitely beat Titanic domestically

Live Action Avatar Role playing as amazing as it sounds

You've heard about people being sad that Pandora and the Na'vi aren't real, right? The 3D world so convinced them these people and places could exist, that they're literally bummed when they exist the theater and its all make-believe.

Well, these people below refused to accept reality, which is why after the movie ended they formed Hometree, Wisconsin and spend their days hopping around the midwestern forests painted blue, celebrating nature with their bretheren.

Alright, so this entire thing is a joke, but it's pretty damn funny, and I HAVE to believe that a real-life version of these people exists somewhere.

James Cameron Writing 'Avatar' Prequel -- But Not For The Big Screen
Director plans to write debut novel that tells the film's backstories, producer Jon Landau reveals.



It's the highest-grossing film of all time, possesses the most Oscar nominations of any film heading into next month's ceremony and is the word on everyone's lips: "Avatar." Now, James Cameron is beginning work on a prequel — but it won't be coming soon to a theater near you.

"Jim is going to write a novel himself," the film's producer, Jon Landau, told us when he stopped by the MTV News studios recently. "Not a novelization — and there is a distinction. A novelization basically retells the story of the movie. Jim wants to write a novel that is a big, epic story that fills in a lot of things."

Ever since "Avatar" mania engulfed Hollywood, rumors and small details have leaked out about possible prequels, sequels, comic books and novelizations. But Landau's comments appear to indicate the first definitive plan to provide more from the "Avatar" world to the seemingly endless appetite of its fans.

"[We] won't have time to do [these stories] in the movie, or maybe in sequels," Landau explained of what Cameron will be writing about. "[So the novel will] give a foundation for the world.

"It would be something that would lead up to telling the story of the movie, but it would go into much more depth about all the stories that we didn't have time to deal with — like the schoolhouse and Sigourney [Weaver's character] teaching at the schoolhouse; Jake on Earth and his backstory and how he came here; [the death of] Tommy, Jake's brother; and Colonel Quaritch, how he ended up there and all that," Landau explained.

Although Cameron has extensive writing credentials, including the screenplays for everything from the first two "Terminator" films to "Titanic," the "Avatar" prequel would mark his debut as a novelist.

"I don't think Jim has ever written a novel before, but his first step of writing a script is often in a novella format," Landau said. "So this is just expanding that, and I think that he'll be very adept at it."

If the "Avatar" prequel novel is a success, Cameron and Landau could potentially follow in the footsteps of George Lucas, opening up their sci-fi universe to other authors for interpretation. "We certainly have stories that are set before the movie opens and after," he explained. "I think that what we want to do is find out what mediums those stories are best told in. There might be opportunities in publishing to tell some of the backstory, tell some of the Earth war stories, what went on in Jake's life before the movie. And we'd have that lead up to the sequel that might take place on Pandora several years after our movie closed."

As for when "Avatar" fans can look forward to experiencing Cameron's novel, Landau had some encouraging news: "I'm hoping by the end of this year."

Avatar... with Babies
James Cameron's epic tells the story a baby given a adult/baby hybrid body, which he must pilot to learn the ways of the grown-up world.

Aiyo.. 3D Blu-ray then need 3D-capable display or just the glasses? Probably gonna cost a lot more for the 3D version...

AVATAR should pass the unheard of pinnacle of $2.5 BILLION dollars worldwide on Friday night. It should pass $700 million domestically on Saturday too!

There is obviously some posturing going on to position the sides for the upcoming negotiations regarding the projects. Don't think for a second he will let anyone else water down this franchise like what happened to TERMINATOR.

So what have I heard about AVATAR 2? We are going to be seeing a great deal more future Earth in 2 and 3 - especially AVATAR 2. The extended edition for AVATAR will help set this up for us, but there are also key elements from the original movie that will do so as well of course

My source is in a hard place right now as the information he/she has is "very spoilery" and may even turn out to be inaccurate in some places when actual production starts down the road. What he does say is: "It is not what you may expect". It will be similar yet very different with the same main characters. Not everything is as it seems in that system (Polyphemus).

Of course keep in mind the elements of war that we posted exclusively a few weeks back! And of course that other moons will be involved, not just Pandora. Again, a MarketSaw exclusive - a full month before the LA Times ran their story.
