This movie has the potential to ruin the movie industry.... mark my words.
It has set the bar so high that people's expectations will rise to meet it which means unless a movie costs $200m+, it won't get audiences.
And once you start pushing those numbers, a $100m revenue movie will no longer be a blockbuster, it'll be a bomb... having lost a lot of money.
It'll quickly go the way of the gaming industry where you get 3 or 4 great ones in a year but then a bunch of trash the rest of the way as only the very top of the top can even afford much less be able to pull off something that the audience will tolerate.
And we all know that the best movies are the inspirational, moving and/or touching movies but those movies make more in awards than they do dollars.
Money making in Hollywood may never be the same once movie makers and audiences start expecting more Avatar's in the future.
