Highly doubt it's going to bomb, ticket presales already have it tracking for a $175M+ domestic opening and China just approved the movie for release over there.

No matter how good or bad the movie ends up being, I would never bet against James Cameron. We've already learned this lesson twice when people thought both Titanic and Avatar were going to be box office bombs.

I think the CGI (the big selling point of the first one) isn't gonna blow anyone away. We were playing modern warfare 2 on Xbox 360/PS3 when the first one came out. I can't see the visuals being anything out of the ordinary so its gonna have to fall back on its story...

I dont think its gonna bomb financially. I just think its gonna kinda suck.

The second one actually looks like it took another leap graphics wise, but if the story isn’t good that’s when number 3 has a lot to make up for as they were produced simultaneously
