>zero awards >zero nominations What went wrong?

>>64755368

They can't just have it take literally all the awards so they have an agreement not to include it.

>>64755368

It will get some technical nominations for the Oscars (visual effects and things like that).

>>64755368
It wasn't THAT good, simple as that
>inb4 traitor

It premiered past the cut off date for oscar nominations. Disney didn't send them any screener because they were afraid they would leak

>>64755368
a like-able charming cast; the first since '83

>>64755809

It wasn't good at all

>>64755368
>What went wrong?
Everything?

>>64755368

Disney literally doesn't give a shit about The Oscars.

Closing off the possibility of leaks is better for their shekels.

STAR JUST.

But TFA won a bunch of Oscars in 1977.

At this point SW7 is easily going to beat Titanic. There's not question about that now. It will probably happen sometime in the next two weeks.

Now the only question is whether or not it will beat Avatar, which took a whole year to get it's record breaking BO.

The whole point of China was supposed to help it beat Avatar but that flopped.

China confirmed itself irrelevant.

So SW7 will cruise past Titanic in the next two weeks, and another shitty Cameron film will get BTFO.

SW7 is slated to say in theaters until April 1st, just 4 days away from the bluray release. There's also a theatrical re-release scheduled for mid summer.

I'm predicting that SW7 will beat Avatar by Valentines day. It's still averaging at least $150 million a week with no signs of slowing down.

Be afraid Cameron Cunts. Be very afraid.

Oscars haven't even announced the nominations

Star Wars shot it's wad. It's done. Box office dropped 33% then 50% off of that. This week the marketing push has boiled over and the weekend is looking like another 50% drop, likely more.

What went wrong? Why was Avatar so forgettable? Is everyone right? Was it only popular because of the 3D gimmick?

>>64758140
It's not because they like avatar, is probably just because they hate star wars.

>>64758161

It did over a $140 million this week. Keep crying Avatard autist.

Unobtainium LOLOLOL

>>64758168
Yeah, remember all of that memorable shit from SW7? Oh, yeah like...um...the mask guy that was shit...Darth motherfucking VADER, son!

Star Wars is only memorable for the other films. SW7 is the same vapid shit as Avatar.

>>64755368
It managed to beat The Revenant in the AFI awards for some fucking reason.

>>64758168
cameron is a hack

Avaturd is totally forgettable garbage that no one cares about and it had zero culture impact because it was complete fucking garbage.

So forgettable amiright??

Disney fell for the 'Lucas is a hack' RedditLetterMedia maymay and fucked it all up. This one would have been swimming in awards if they had followed Lucas's original stories and allowed him to helm it.

George Lucas is the most courageous artist alive. The soulless cowards criticizing his quest just don't realize the stakes.

To be honest, after watching Avatar i realized the story was really bland and terribly rehashed.

Not that SW7's is better. It was just more entertaining.

I hated the movie as soon as I saw it.

Much like TFA (which I also hated), it's technically a well shot movie, in that pacing and camera work is done well.

However the Characters are shit (the fucking villain had a cartoonish scar on his face and every line was stereotypical)

The story had too many problems. (Really? Post-Nuclear Humans can't beat unarmored, spear-chucking aliens on pterodactyls?)

It was too derivative.

Has any SW movie been nominated for an oscar?

>>64758168
You are comparing a franchise in the making against a 40 year old established brand.

>>64759804
That fan image has more emotion than the film though. Thats part of the problem.

wew, for some reason I didn't even know that. 7 oscars, pretty nice, and in all the categories it matters for a movie like that.

>>64758168
Everything you said about star wars is true, but you put a white male lead in there and it wouldn't be up for debate whether it was going to sell more or not

Scifi never wins Oscars. Even if they do, they have to make shit up just to justify it.
