Cameron, the sole filmmaker with three movies to gross $2 billion or more

you’d never know this the way his stans on twitter treat him like a downtrodden indie filmmaker with impossible odds stacked against him 💀

Oh, please.

People have spent years saying nobody cared Avatar and that the sequel would flop.

They're entitled to some gloating.

can’t wait for it to beat Endgame - a movie with 100 characters but not ONE of them is a depressed whale

[kawaiiasfuq]

also not ONE character in Endgame is a 12 year old girl played by 70 year old Sigourney Weaver. James Cameron the 🐐

I'd definitely be depressed if I were a whale.

This circle jerk over these box office numbers has been gross. And regular people being excited about this shit, like they're going to see some of that money 🤭🤭🤭

[sandstorm]

It's like rooting for a football team - doesn't affect us, but it is fun.

[doriiansz]

Is it though?

[totteringg]

Is it? A boring movie made a bunch of money. Groundbreaking stuff.

what about adjusted for inflation
i was thinking about seeing titanic in theaters this weekend but then i realized it was in 3d and felt so baffled i promptly changed my mind

[queenursula]

To be honest 90% of the 3D was not even noticeable except for the shot at the end with the perspective.

[drblind]

my main gripe with 3d is it oft feels pointless but also i wear glasses and it's awkward to put 3d glasses over them

do i love titanic enough to put in my contacts... no

[piratesswoop]

i think gone with the wind or wizard of oz is still #1 with inflation but i’m not sure.

This is the box office outcome this horrible timeline deserves.
