'Avatar: The Way of Water' Needs Minimum $2 Billion Worldwide Gross Collection For Break-Even

Los Angeles, November 23 - James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar: The Way of Water is getting hot as the release date gets closer. The sequel to Cameron's 2009 movie, "Avatar 2" is a rare film that is a sure shot to cross $1 billion gross at the worldwide box office but it will need more than just $1 billion. ## "Avatar: The Way of Water" is one of the most expensive films or maybe the most expensive movie ever made. The early reports have claimed the production budget of the movie alone was in the $250 million range, however, according to Cameron, the movie is so expensive that it will need to become the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history for just a break-even target.## There have been only five films in history to reach $2 billion at the worldwide box office. The top three movies are Cameron's original "Avatar" with $2.9 billion, followed by "Avengers: Endgame" with $2.7 billion, and Cameron's "Titanic" with $2.1 billion at number 2 and 3, respectively.## That means, according to Cameron, that if "Avatar: The Way of Water" wants to break even, it'll need to overtake either "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($2.07 billion) or "Avengers: Infinity War" ($2.05 billion) in the fourth or fifth slots, respectively. In other words, the sequel will need a minimum of $2 billion worldwide to turn into a profitable film. ## "Avatar: The Way of Water" opens in theaters on December 16 and in India, it will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages in multiple formats.## Stay tuned...

Avatar: The Way of Water Sets Release Date In China

Beijing, November 23 - James Cameron's mega movie Avatar: The Way of Water has been cleared to release in China, according to The Wall Street Journal. In what could be a blockbuster move from Disney, the movie will be hitting Chinese theaters on December 16, the same day it is slated to be released globally. ## China has been tough for Disney as the studio failed to get clearance to release its blockbuster movies in China from the censor board. The studio and Chinese movie theaters had been closely watching for a decision from Chinese censors on the movie, the sequel to Cameron's 2009 sci-fi epic. ## China carries a huge box office potential for blockbuster titles and this could hugely benefit Disney to generate big millions with "Avatar 2". The first "Avatar" movie grossed over $260 million in China and was the second-biggest market after North America.## As said earlier, the last seven superhero films produced by Marvel Studios, Disney's most-profitable film studio over the past decade, haven't received release dates in the crucial China market, denting the global box-office gross.## Meanwhile, James Cameron has already set huge standards for "Avatar 2" at the box office. The budget of the film is not known yet, but according to Cameron, "Avatar 2" will need to become the fourth or fifth highest-grossing movie of all time or at least $2 billion to clear the break-even target. The future of Avatar movie also depends on how the sequel performs.## Stay tuned...

Los Angeles, November 16 - In 2020, it was reported that Disney planning a spin-off movie of Pirates of the Caribbean with Margot Robbie was attached to the headline. However, even after two years, there is no confirmed development happened on the movie and now, Margot has sad news regarding the same.## During a recent interview with Vanity Fair magazine, the actress told that Disney has moved on from the proposed "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise spin-off movie and it is unlikely to happen. ## "We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led—not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story—which we thought would've been really cool, but I guess they don't want to do it", Robbie told the magazine. ## According to the The Hollywood Reporter, the latest sequel was never intended to have pirate Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow at its center, but rather to offer new characters under the Pirates banner that were inspired by the long-running attraction at Disneyland.## "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of the highest-grossing film franchises of all time. It has grossed over $4.5 billion globally across five feature films. ## Stay tuned...

Marvel's 'Black Panther 2' And DC's 'Black Adam' Will Not Release In China

Los Angeles, November 11 - Marvel Studios' latest blockbuster Black Panther: Wakanda Forever along with Warner Bros. DC superhero flick Black Adam are unlikely to release in China, the biggest movie market in the world, according to The Hollywood Reporter.## The Beijing regulators continue to crack down on American movies, particularly Marvel/Disney. The market of Hollywood movies in China has reduced drastically over the last few years but still, the snubbing of top-tier superhero titles is costing the studios tens of millions of lost potential revenue. ## While the official word on the ban on "Black Panther 2" is awaited, THR reports that the film's denial comes as little surprise given the recent track record of Marvel movies in the Middle Kingdom. The first "Black Panther", which was released in 2018, grossed $105 million in China.## China has been a big market for Marvel films, however, since the covid-19 pandemic, the scenario has changed for the studio to get permission to release the film there. Over the last year or so, China has banned Marvel titles - "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" (2021) and "Eternals" (2021) along with "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021) and others.## Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam", which was released a couple of weeks ago and has already crossed $320 million worldwide, has also reportedly been banned in China. Johnson's films have done good business in the country such as "Skyscraper" ($98 million in China) and Hobbs & Shaw ($201 million). ## Stay tuned...

James Cameron's Avatar 4 And 5 May Get Canceled If 'The Way Of Water' Sequel Underperforms

Los Angeles, November 8 - The long-awaited sequel to "Avatar", Avatar: The Way of Water is finally hitting theaters this December, and the upcoming movie could decide how far the "Avatar" franchise would go.## "The Way of Water" has been anticipated to go bonkers at the box office and its sequel, which arrives in 2024, may also get huge help from its predecessor's success. There are two more "Avatar" films slated to release in 2026 and 2028, however, the future of those two films depends on how "Avatar 2 and 3" perform at the box office. ## James Cameron, in a recent interview with Total Films, told that he may cancel "Avatar 4 and 5" if the sequel to "The Way of Water" underperforms at the box office. "The market could be telling us we're done in three months, or we might be semi-done, meaning: 'OK, let's complete the story within movie three, and not go on endlessly' if it's just not profitable", he said. ## The first "Avatar" movie was released in 2009 but Cameron said that a lot has changed ever since, especially in the post-covid-19 era where the audiences' taste has changed. "We're in a different world now than we were when I wrote this stuff", Cameron said.## "It's the one-two punch – the pandemic and streaming. Or, conversely, maybe we'll remind people what going to the theatre is all about. This film definitely does that. The question is: how many people give a shit now?", he added.## "Avatar: The Way of Water" is slated to hit theaters on December 16, and in India, it will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam languages in multiple formats.## Stay tuned...

Warner Bros. Discovery To Revive Harry Potter Film Series

Los Angeles, November 4 - Warner Bros. Discovery under the new CEO David Zaslav seems to be in action mode and is looking to find ways to revive its most loved film franchises, and one of them is Harry Potter film series. ## David Zaslav said during an investor's call Thursday that the company is going to focus more on the franchise and he is keen to exploit the possibility of reviving the "Harry Potter" franchise if something can be worked out with author J.K. Rowling along with "Superman" movie which is already in development with Henry Cavill returning to play this iconic DC role. ## "We haven't had a Superman movie in 13 years. We haven't done a Harry Potter in 15 years. The DC movies and the Harry Potter movies provided a lot of the profits for Warner Bros. ... over the past 25 years", Zaslav said according to The Hollywood Reporter.## He went on to note Warner Bros. still has the theatrical rights to "Lord of the Rings", and went back around to the idea of more Harry Potter, noting he'd like to see more. "If we can do something with J.K. on Harry Potter going forward", he added.## Warner Bros. has released 8 Harry Potter films from 2001-2011 and those movies grossed over $7.7 billion at the global box office, making it one of the highest-grossing film franchises. The studio partnered with Rowling on the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise and has released three films so far out of its planned 5-films in the franchise.## There is a lot of work yet to be done to revive the "Harry Potter" series but this is surely great news for the fans who have been loyal to the franchise. It is the Harry Potter franchise that made Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson popular stars along with Rupert Grint. ## Stay tuned...

Los Angeles, October 28 - Marvel Studios/Disney's most anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has had its world premiere in Hollywood on Wednesday and the first reactions are overwhelmingly positive and it seems the movie made everyone emotional as it is touted to be the best homage to actor Chadwick Boseman who played Black Panther in the first movie. ## "Black Panther", which was released in 2018, was one of the biggest hits in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, grossing $700 million at the domestic (North America) box office and $1.3 billion worldwide. It was also the first comic book movie nominated for best picture at the Oscars. ## The anticipation for the "Black Panther" sequel is already sky-high and after the kind of reception it is getting from its world premiere, it is certain to take one of the biggest openings in MCU history. It stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Dominique Thorne, Florence Kasumba, Michaela Coel, Tenoch Huerta, Martin Freeman, and Angela Bassett. "Black Panther 2" is slated to open on November 11. ## Have a look at some of the reactions on the movie - ## #BlackPanther #WakandaForever is epic, especially in scope.Namor is one of the better villains the MCU has had to offer. Tenoch Huerta just kills it!Emotions are heavy. Ryan Coogler ups his game on the action. It’s a lot to take in, balance so much, and is powerfully good. pic.twitter.com/NYxk1UvTYz— BD (@BrandonDavisBD) October 27, 2022 ## This is the first MCU film where I cried through the end credits. Everyone around me was a mess. Ryan Coogler & team crafted one of the GREAT sequels, hands down. A beautiful story about finding strength in grief & community to uplift. A film that brings its whole heart & soul pic.twitter.com/GFs2EweJ4y— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) October 27, 2022 ## Continues to be one of my favorite ensembles out there. M’Baku is still my #1, but Letitia Wright’s Shuri is quite the beating heart of this film. And Tenoch Huerta? They couldn’t have found a better Namor.— Perribite (@PNemiroff) October 27, 2022 ## #WakandaForever is fantastic! Coogler delivers a soulful, wondrous sequel that packs an emotional punch & effectively explores relevant world themes. A beautiful tribute to Boseman’s legacy. Letitia & Tenoch are great, & the mid-credits scene is really moving. #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/dqoSSfnTR9— Fico (@FicoCangiano) October 27, 2022 ## #BlackPantherWakandaForever is a beautiful tribute to Chadwick Boseman. Visual stunner, with Angela Bassett commanding every scene she inhabits. Rihanna's "Lift Me Up" will do that for many. Another great post credit scene that's genuinely a jaw-dropper. Don't know about Oscars. pic.twitter.com/55YSor1PrD— Clayton Davis - Stand with 🇺🇦 (@ByClaytonDavis) October 27, 2022 ## Ryan Coogler's #BlackPantherWakandaForever, above all else, is cathartic. An emotional movie about loss, legacy and healing. The story is intimate, but vast with global power struggles and palace intrigue. Tenoch Huerta's Namor is a FORCE, better than I hoped. So much to discuss. pic.twitter.com/cDFVcPYHRR— Sean O'Connell (@Sean_OConnell) October 27, 2022 ## #WakandaForever's bigger in scope and scale than #BlackPanther, but its story is also one of Marvel's most intimate and heartfelt. It's definitely a Comic Book Movie, but it’s one that centers grief and the grieving process rather than superheroics and spectacle. Full review soon pic.twitter.com/MzIjwVzjBd— Charles, Witch from Mercury (@CharlesPulliam) October 27, 2022 ## #WakandaForever REVIEW: MARVEL’S MAGNUM OPUS. Ryan Coogler does it again, delivering a very EMOTIONAL, EPIC & sexy, horny adventure. WOW. This isn’t just another superhero movie, it’s one of the BEST films ever! GREAT action too. A fitting end setting up what’s next #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/xZeh7YPtMu— watching as intended (@theatomchode) October 27, 2022 ## It's hard to shake the emotional weight #BlackPanther #WakandaForever carries throughout the entire film. More serious in tone, a wonderful conclusion to Phase Four. It celebrates women as the fiercest protectors of all. Angela Bassett. Tenoch Huerta. Michaela Coel. RIHANNA! pic.twitter.com/9V2gcmKJpA— espooky bloody marie 🎃🇵🇷 (@TheJosieMarie) October 27, 2022 ## Just saw #BlackPantherWakandaForever If you’re looking for that Marvel feel that has been missing, this is it. Emotional, maybe 10 minutes too long, but who cares? Overall, a throwback to what made Marvel special in the first place. A beautiful tribute to Chadwick Boseman.— Kristian Harloff (@KristianHarloff) October 27, 2022 ## I saw #WakandaForever and trying to hold space to really gather my thoughts. Will share more soon but for now I will say it is a beautiful depiction of how grief and love co-exist, and the healing in the depths of some of our greatest pain. #BlackPanther pic.twitter.com/FVNrNdiCJh— Kay-B (@TheLadyKayB) October 27, 2022 ## #BlackPanther #WakandaForever RIPS. An epic, poignant & accomplished sequel that deepens the original’s resonant thematic power & prowess, AND serves as a loving tribute to Chadwick Boseman. Tenoch Huerta give a strong performance. Rihanna’s ballad is tender & sweet. pic.twitter.com/9TqMDbeu7X— My Scary Name *is* Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) October 28, 2022 ## Finally had the honor of watching #BlackPantherWakandaForever. Marvel Studios was never as political as this film, that has action scenes, of course, but much more. For example, probably the MVP, Angela Bassett is assured of an Oscar nomination, if not winning. 👇 pic.twitter.com/OEX4Cz3rhZ— Gabriel Carvalho (@gabirucarvalho) October 27, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Los Angeles, October 22 - Dwayne Johnson's much-awaited superhero debut in DC's Black Adam met with nasty reception from critics on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes with overall critics' score stands at just 44% from 198 reviews while the same is just 30% by 53 top RT critics' reviews.## Meanwhile, "Black Adam's" audience score is more than double that of critics' with an overall 91% from 10K+ ratings while the same is 88% from 1K+ verified ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a massive gap between critics and audience's scores for "Black Adam", however, is not completely surprising knowing the fact that most Comic Book movies have been received in the same way in the past. ## Comic book superhero movies have always pulled large crowds to the theaters irrespective of the critics' reviews and "Black Adam" might be just another film on the list with the mighty support of Johnson's massive worldwide fan following. ## Both Johnson and Warner Bros. are betting big on The Man in Black, and the initial box office numbers are encouraging as well. The movie grossed a strong $7.6 million in Thursday previews at the domestic (North America) box office, likely for a $60+ million opening weekend debut. Overseas, the film grossed $13.8 million in the first two days, including $1 million in India on an opening day. ## The CinemaScore of "Black Adam" is B+, which is on par with CBMs such as "Venom", "Venom 2", "Joker", "The Suicide Squad", "Suicide Squad", "Wonder Woman 1984", and "Justice League", among others. It will be interesting to see how far it will go at the box office. ## Stay tuned...
