got any sevens posted:2. Part of me hopes its a Widowmaker story to start the Overwatch cinematic universe, just to see blizz fall on their face again like with warcraft An Overwatch movie right now would probably do pretty well since the game is still peaking, as opposed to a movie coming out 7-8 years after the peak of Warcraft's Popularity. I mean Blizzard is currently charging $20 million for a franchise tag to start up an Overwatch competitive league and they're getting snatched up fairly quickly by actual sports owners.

Did Cameron ever talk back then about what he personally would have done for a third Terminator movie before Rise of the Machines/Salvation/etc. were happening? I mean between Terminator 3/Salvation/Genisys and the Sarah Connor Chronicles what ground is even left to cover? I guess you could do an all future war movie and actually make it not one of the biggest gently caress-ups ever like Salvation was.

But the difference is Cameron has continued making films since T2, unlike Lucas who didn't direct anything between A New Hope and Phantom Menace. Also considering that Terminator is a time travel story, he can basically wipe out everything that came out post T2 with some hand wavey bullshit if he even bothers to acknowledge it.

If Avatar 2 actually keeps its release date it will be 11 years between feature films for Cameron and even then his last movie movie before that was Titanic and that was in 97. He hasn't exactly been prolific in the last 20 years.

Obviously it depends on how much of the total gross the opening weekend is, but animated movies tend to have slightly better legs than others, so this will probably make a small profit, especially if it plays internationally. So just hope that the tracking is aiming too high and that it has terrible word of mouth (like it should)

Doesn't a movie have to make back about double the budget for the studio to call it a success? I thought I read that in this thread, but maybe it's different for animated movies.

No one knows whether a movie is successful or not. Amazing Spider-Man 2 made three quarters of a billion dollars, probably had the movie paid for already through endorsements and was such a failure that Sony ran screaming to Disney/Marvel to be included in the MCU.

He hasn't exactly been prolific in the last 20 years. Also true, however Cameron is actually a good film maker and Lucas isn't. I'm not saying i"m jumping out of my chair for more Terminator movies because I haven't seen any of the sequels past T2 because I kinda just don't care about the franchise that much. If he actually makes a new Terminator movie and it's good I'll probably watch it, but I have no emotional investment in the franchise other than "Man, T2 was loving good and the everyone seems to hate everything else with Terminator on the box so I guess I can just skip those"

My understanding was that ASM2 made a pretty solid amount of money, but also burned off literally every remaining bit of goodwill the franchise had left under Sony, meaning their planned spinoffs went from "sure bet" to "Bad loving Idea"

What were all the spinoffs they were planning off of ASM2? The one I remember was an Aunt May which makes me wonder if they would've done old infirm widow Aunt May's Adventures or Aunt May as a Youngster With No Active Superheroes or Villains Aunt May
