I heard of one woman that saw it 25 times ! ! No kidding. > It's pretty obvious that Avatar is shaping up as the same sort of phenomenon with the following difference: the "repeat" demographic is probably, for the first time in cinematic history, going to be ACROSS THE BOARD. That is, EVERYONE regardless of age and gender is going to go see this thing more than once.>> So is there a hot new chic or dude in it? If not, why do you think people will watch it 10 times or more? (I haven't seen it, its not my cup of tea, seems more targeted at the lowest common denominator in society ;-) A socialist equality for Ja Ja Binks et al, it sounds like - not usually your kind of politics Shemp? > PREDICTION: Avatar will not only gross $3 billion in worldwide box office it will do it faster than the previous box office winner in real dollars -- Titanic -- did it getting to $2 billion and faster than the all-time winner in "adjusted for inflation" dollars -- Gone with the wind -- did it getting to its total.> How much is 2 billion dollars in todays money 10-12 years later?
