BREAKING NEWS

Avengers: Endgame has finally gone and done it, fellas! The MCU superhero film is now the highest grossing film of all-time! Avatar has lost it's long-held title at last!


I lost a bet too. Never thought it will happen, not gonna lie.





History Of Highest Grossing Films

- Birth of a Nation
- Gone with the Wind
- The Sound of Music
- The Godfather
- Jaws
- Star Wars: A New Hope
- E.T.
- Jurassic Park
- Titanic
- Avatar
- Avengers: Endgame

I can authoritatively attest to the fact that it's a hell of a line-up, for i've seen all... with the exception of Birth of a Nation.

At least, I know what I'll be seeing next. cheesy

Birth of a nation 1915. Definitely not the one of recent. Silent film too. I'll pass until you review it.

Mahershala Ali, the 2 time Oscar winner, to star as Blade. WOW! that's a welcome development. Just hope its R-rated because a pg-13 would basically seem of for the movie.

I've been researching Avatar and this is what I came up with:


The release dates of four Avatar sequels

- December 17, 2021, for Avatar 2
- December 22, 2023, for Avatar 3
- December 19, 2025, for Avatar 4
- December 17, 2027, for Avatar 5.

No news of Avatar re-release, but it is suggested that James Cameron could request the re-release of Avatar so as to retake the top spot. We will see. grin

Provided it's funny, and have great fight scenes, it will make bank. I'll watch the hell out of it.

Series, not anthology. The same but evolving plot lines spread across 5 chapters. Cameron has always intended it to be a series since it first wowed the fans 10 years ago.

Bro to be frank, am kinda skeptic of the individual success of each of the aforementioned movies. What sort of story are the planning on telling on all four movies. See, my theory is that its gonna be one good storyline split 4 ways so as to ensure continuity, so basically they'll use their ground breaking CGI & special effects to compensate for the lack of story in each individual movie. Movie goers might like it at first, but eventually, when they realise its all special effects &little or no substance that's might spell the end for James Cameron clean slate as regards the franchise. The franchise literally becomes Michael Bay's Transformers franchise. IMO, Avatar should be nothing more than a trilogy.

Don't waste your time bro.
This one is a pg-13 film.
Those folks don't have the cojones to go ahead with the over 18 rating.
Come to think of it, how many R-rated film films from Disney.
Can't remember any for now..though I might be wrong.
Trust me, this one will only have pg-13 action and forgettable one-liners like the others
Don't bother, it's the Marvel Confused Universe.

Have just finished seeing this, and I gotta say I much prefer Donnie Yen's IP Man trilogy (esp the first two). They're better edited, with better fight scenes, and more compelling characters. Grandmaster is a snoozefest in comparison. I probably would have viewed it more favorably if it had preceded Donnie Yen's IP Man.


Cant blame the lead character, after watching this clip, it was disheartening to learn the lead character started learning martial arts at the age of 47, his performance can never match that of Donnie, Donnie Yen was already a master of even before IP Man (those Chun Li kicks in Iron Monkey shocked shocked shocked). So I feel they have to make the fight scene less complex for someone that has only started learning Kung Fu for only 2 years prior to shooting this movie. So I will agree with your take on this being a watered down version of Ip Man.

I guess Keanu Reeves is a fan of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon opera kind of fight scenes.

Whats The Name of The Shanghai _ staring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson were Donnie Yen played the bad guy?

Stop hating MCU for the tomfoolery of DCEU they are tons of good materials in DC catalogs that can rival and hold MCU in a kung fu grip, but the ret@rds at DCEU went to sleep and woke up with amnesia, making a whole Superman a laughing stock, The Justice League a gang of misfits that only come out in the dark.
Am a DC fan first but am no fool, MCU are streets ahead of DCEU - I guess they are lucky Stan Lee was around for so long.

The Marvel-Dc feud aside, you very on point as regards the movie been nothing more than pg-13. From the business/Economics POV and applying the theory of comparative cost advantage in relation to recouping of gains from investment, it would be so unwise of the universe to peg that movie at anything asides pg-13, going for R-rated is definitely going to spell doom for the flick at the box office.
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by losprince(m): 11:25am On Jul 21, 2019
The good the bad and the ugly 10/10!!!

One of the movies I would outrightly name the best! A classic spaghetti western that doesn't suffer from any form of romanticizing and stays focused on telling a story centered on character, with strong prevailing themes and satirical takes on affairs at the time.

The film doesn't set out with a defined protagonist, as a matter of fact the main characters are as gray as time, committing all manner of perversions and yet you'll get fond of them and grow to like them.

The final scene has got to be one of the best directed final scenes I've ever seen, the build up, the tension, the resolution and the score, all exceptional.

A movie with a soundtrack that sounds like it's mocking the situation has got to be taken seriously. grin

How does comparative advantage factor in here?

Bear in mind that the Comparative cost boarders on opportunity cost. So R-rated & pg-13(Taking these 2 options as constants) are the two options, the economics/financial manager of every big movie studio considers before/during movie production, in relation to recouping of gains from investment in the box office. So basically, i'll exclude the cost parameters for production of R-rated & pg-13 movies as they may be equal, my emphasis is on breaking even & recouping of gains from investments. For Marvel movies, pg-13 movies has a high comparative investment returns advantage at the box office in comparison to R-rated flicks that has the opposite, thus, the universe will go for production of Pg-13 movies over R-rated movies.
For a layman's overview, in the production of a movie, am presented with two options, the best option for me would be to opt for the option that'll guarantee massive returns to my investment.
