With new films, maybe. Sequels barely ever do as well, and Avatar only got that much because of 3D.Avatar sequel could do better as long as it's unique enough compared to the first.
The sequel would also be in 3D and ticket prices have gone up so that wouldn't matter. If he delivers with Avatar 2 it'd surely get most people to want to see it in 3D again.
Yeah but avatar 2 will have VR! /sYeah China is huge now and Avatar 2 could make an extra 300 million there compared to the first.
An article pointed that China has largely become a bigger market since Avatar 1 was released.
