Some people are out of their minds with thinking Star Wars is going to beat Avatar. No way in hell I agree. There's no way. I think it's mostly wishful thinking from most. They really want Star Wars to be the biggest, greatest thing ever.

I don't get why some want Avatar to be dethroned so badly.
It's not the greatest thing ever but it's not the crapfest people claim it is either. It's an okayish sci-fi story that just happened to have groundbreaking visuals.

It's an okayish sci-fi story that just happened to have groundbreaking visuals. It was very meh with an extremely rushed story. Not crap, but not worth the crown. Some cool moments though.

Some people are out of their minds with thinking Star Wars is going to beat Avatar. No way in hell But nobody ever predicted Avatar was going to be the highest grossing movie ever. I don't think James Cameron even knew. Hell I think more people thought it was going to bomb than succeed. Hell who the f*** predicted Jurassic World was going to break box office records and make more money than The Avengers? The popular opinion was Avengers 2 would be even bigger. So really who knows? Yeah I know what I just stated is the surprising choices makes the record breaking money and not the obvious choices but maybe the non obvious is the new obvious. Plus releasing a hyped up film around Christmas Time or early January is the best time to do it considering January-March is usually studios dumping ground season and that's your competition. Like it worked for American Sniper and Avatar and Titanic, etc

I'm hoping Paper Towns might surprise everyone like FioS. Not really feeling it, but I wasn't really feeling that either. Paper Towns, Pixels and Southpaw, this weekend is sort of crowded.
GET LOST! FIND YOURSELF! PAPER TOWNS!

FIND YOURSELF! PAPER TOWNS! I thought Fault was good, but if I do check out Paper Towns it'd mainly be based on my love of Green's vlogs.

It got people who regularly didn't go to the theaters to go. Episode 7 most definitely will not pull that off.

Poor Arnie ain't a draw anymore Yeah seriously. I remember being shocked when Last Stand bombed. I guess nobody really wants old man action heroes.
