Apathetic mostly.
Not adjusted-for-inflation though which makes the statistic meaningless except to how shall we say? Intellectual light-weights.
Good.

Even if Avatar made its money via 3D (just like TFA), you have to give the guy credit for Titanic's $600 million box office run in 1997 when ticket prices were around $4-5 in most places and muh 3D gimmicks weren't around.
Money was never a good measure of quality

This meme needs to die.
So was Piranha 2!
That man went from driving trucks to being box office god. How did he do it?
this. credit where its fucking due, Titanic was really goddamn great on top of making a shitzillion dollars worldwide.
Go back
And the theaters were EMPTY the weekend Titanic came out. Word of mouth women-to-women drove people into the theaters after that. Many seeing it more than two times.
It's how the world should be. He's the best director ever to have been born. He's also a perfect fit for this era. It's crazy how good he is at capturing mainstream appeal without it being schlock. He never gets pretentious like Nolan, idiotic like Snyder, indulgent like Malick or quippu like Whedon. He has all their best aspects combined, distilled and mixed to make perfect mainstream film.
Cameron is the best.
You sure? I was young but I remember there being hype about its realism and huge special effects budget/achievements.
Titanic had a good opening weekend.
It went straight to #1 and beat fucking Tomorrow Never Dies.
$28 million opening weekend
TFA made more money than Titanic. Its number two now.
Nah.
Based Jimbo
Hard work. Also helps that he could draw to show people his concepts.
Please die
Box office for the first weekend was mediocre but it went up because of good word of mouth. Same thing happened with Avatar which only opened with a 70 million dollar opening weekend and then went up.
Awe and wonder.
Since he's one of my fans, pretty good.
Why does Capeshit always go down the second weekend but his stuff always goes up? How does he manage it?
Women.
please return to that one site
Capeshit is generated by social media and normie hype, all of whom eat it up and then spit it back out, forgetting about it the following week. But when it comes to Based Jim, he's movies are the opposite. Many are unsure the first week, will give it a try, only to fucking love it the following week.
Awe inspired.

For matinées, maybe. My recollection is that evening shows were already around $7-9 in most places by then.
