Multi billion dollar films are actually relatively new. The idea of a film breaking 1 billion was unheard of up until Titanic. By 2005 only a handful of films were in the 1 billion bracket, all franchise films like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. The 2 billion rush began in 2010 after Avatar and still only a few films have made it to that height.

If we go back down to films making less than 1 billion that will only restore a sense of normality to cinema. We can finally go back to weighing a movie based on its content, a film that makes $500,000,000 will not be considered a failure, etc.

Are you insane? Even if overall box-office goes down, there will be no “return” to anything worthwhile because of it. They will not suddenly make good movies, good movies are not made anymore. The concept of a “billion-dollar movie” is not new, we only think it’s new because kike inflation has pushed our figures into the billions. Beyond that, the only films that have pushed 2 billion since Avatar are: Star Wars 7 and Avengers 3-4. Both of those movies are the product of years of hyping, (Avengers more aggressively and openly compared to Star Wars) and they still could not top the numbers Avatar set. Remember that: two of the most hyped movies in the history of cinema couldn’t beat the record set by Cameron. The only thing they could do to beat it now is literally get a big-name actor and kill him before the movie is released like Ledger.

Cinema is dying more than ever before, we need to hammer those nails harder

Oh and one more thing. A new Harry Potter movie featuring the original cast might beat Avatar, but that unlikely now that Hermoine is black. That and it would suck like all the others. Just I personally don’t see how any movie could take the number 1 spot and thus cinema is on the decline. Even Avatar was pretty unoriginal.
