AOC's movie "To The End" was released the same weekend Avatar 2 was released and only got $80 per theater for a total of $15,801.

I've wondered if Putin's flagrant aggression in Ukraine was too much for her. I always sensed she didn't sit 100% comfortably in the Trump-Putin-neo-fascist axis.
Or was she an anti-vaxxer...?

Sure. If you want to believe that Avatar made 3 Million more than projected on a generational cold snow dump weekend, and then you further want to believe that it grossed 32 Million on Monday.
Dec 23, 2022 1 $19,289,141 +32% -64% 4,202 $4,590 $216,970,827 8

I wasn't admitting that I was wrong about Avatar. I was just saying that I AOC's movie came out the same day and that we already knew for a fact that was a bomb.
Disney's stock price is already down over 55% from its high last year. I'm calling shenanigans. Top Gun: Maverick was a slow burn that didn't have an exceptional opening weekend compared to Marvel crap, but it outpaced all of those in the long run. Maverick is still 15 Million above Avatar domestically, but if Disney is going to lie to you and tell you it's making 30 Million every day this week, it will be 100 Million past Maverick by the end of next weekend.

P.S. How come you never put any of my good predictions in here?
Is it because you're a little bitch, or because you're lazy and that would be a full time job for you?

Jaynztown: Glad you're keeping this thread alive - I wish you'd stick to actual predictions though.

He's not keeping up with shit. He never puts anybody's good predictions in here.
All he does is post when anybody other than himself is wrong about something.
Notice above where it looks like Alex Jones isn't going to pay a Billion $. I told you that since day one. But J doesn't attribute that to me. He uses it to push it in Ted's dumb little face for saying that Jones would be paying it all.
How's that student loan forgiveness going for you, BTW?

What articles. What sources?
Wiki doesn't count. Wiki is fanfic.
James has said that only Avatar 3 has been filmed. Not 4 and 5. And he didn't even mention whether or not the expensive CGI that will be half or more of the budget per film has even started on Avatar 3 yet. He's also stated that if Avatar 2 doesn't make 2 BILLION worldwide than it's going to lose money.
Disney and FOX are hiding those numbers. They wouldn't be hiding them if they felt their shareholders would be pleased right now.

The West complains about box office takings, the East of Europe complains about blood, carnage, bombings, shelling and trying to stay alive
as for the movie profits
James Cameron has this ability
the movie might be somewhat stupid or dumb like Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars sequels and prequels, Batman vs Superman justice league stuff, Shrek, Twister, but it looks like it has made money

THE HILL: Trump tax returns raise alarms about fairness of US tax code

A preliminary review of the thousands of pages of Donald Trump’s tax returns released by a key congressional committee on Friday confirms that the former president was using business losses in the tens of millions of dollars to reduce his annual tax liability, in some cases all the way down to zero.
While one of Trump’s main businesses was found guilty of criminal tax fraud earlier this month, Trump himself has so far not been accused of doing anything illegal with his taxes and personal accounting.
But that’s raising more urgent questions about the fairness of the U.S. tax code and tax regulations, which number in the millions of words and in the case of Trump proved effectively unenforceable.

Quote:
The committee report recommends ways to fix the structural failures at the IRS, going forward. That seems valuable. And that strikes me as a sufficient reason to obtain and examine Trump’s returns. For instance, the committee could not know how difficult it might be for the IRS to audit Trump’s returns if it did not know how complex they were, in the first place.
But publication of his returns is different. How does publication advance the otherwise valuable findings of the committee? Couldn’t the committee highlight the IRS’ failures in a report and keep Trump’s returns private? I believe so. Stated another way, what is the connection between the valid concerns raised by the committee — the deficiencies in the mandatory audit program they identified at the IRS — and the committee’s decision to make public Trump’s returns? None, that I see.
I am not, to put it mildly, a Trump fan so my next words may seem odd, but here goes: The committee’s decision to publish the returns was unfair to Trump. So why do I worry about being unfair to Trump? Because principles of fairness should matter to all of us, all the time, and apply to all of us, all the time, even if they do not matter to Trump.
Trump strikes me as a bad person. In many ways, he is not very different than many of the people I encountered as a federal prosecutor. He is greedy, dishonest, self-centered, narcissistic and reckless. But all the people we prosecuted deserved to be treated fairly for legal, ethical and moral reasons, and they deserved to be treated fairly all the time, whether or not we liked them. We cannot reserve fair treatment for people we like and unfair treatment for people we dislike. That would be a death spiral for our judicial system and for our democracy.
WALL STREET JOURNAL: Trump’s taxes are Exhibit A in the case for why the IRS needs a big upgrade

At the start of my career, I helped draft tax rules for Congress. For 20 years, I advised wealthy business owners and big corporations on how to apply tax rules and defend challenges from the IRS. The tax rules are not black and white; they are gray, with lots of room for argument. And plenty of opportunity to stretch the rules beyond their intent. That’s where Trump plays.
So there's the pivot.
They know that Trump just played by the rules of the game that rich people play. It's the same thing that every one of our politicians play. Some do it right out of the gates because they were already corrupt, and others like AOC get a taste and do it themselves while wearing $10,000 "Tax the Rich" dresses at $50,000 a plate eve
