发帖数: 60932 | 1 Avatar, the highest grossing movie of all time, was re-released in theaters
on Aug. 27th, 2010, with over six minutes of additional footage added to
create a special edition. As of this posting, the re-release of the movie
made an extra $10 million plus to push its overall domestic gross to over $
760 million dollars and almost $2.8 BILLION dollars overall worldwide! The
re-release was to approximately 750 3D and IMAX 3D locations only, where it
made its extra cash. Director James Cameron has said that he has two sequels
planned to this movie, possibly shooting them back-to-back (a la Back to
the Future II and III) for release in 2014 and 2015: Link:

For those of you who saw my New Release Thread about the original release of
this movie on DVD and Blu-Ray back in April 2010 (http:// =410841&t=1983854 ) and wanted to wait for the Extended Collector's Edition and all the special features to be released, this three disc set will be well worth the wait. With three(!) versions of the movie now being released in this edition on Tuesday, Nov. 16th 2010, read on for more details:

Many of the deleted scenes that were placed back into the movie can be
directly referenced in the original screenplay. 20th Century Fox put up a
PDF of it for free back in Jan. 2010, and I did get to read it.
Unfortunately, they took it down for some reason: Link:

.
Its too bad its only available as a special feature on the Three-Disc
Extended Collector's Edition Blu-Ray now, and not available online. If you
would like to get an idea of some of what was added, including an all-new
opening, some added characterization for Michelle Rodriguezs character and
other cool deleted scenes that added more story to the one that appeared on
the screen in the original incarnation. Fortunately, the new extended
edition will have all of that on the screen and more. The screenplay PDF is
floating around the internet somewhere, Im sure, if you're interested in
reading it.

Best Prices:
I did a price comparison on both the internet and this weeks circulars with
Amazon.com, Best Buy, Bestbuy.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Borders.com, Buy.com,
Costco.com (no listings for some reason), DeepDiscountDVD.com, Frys.com,
FYE, FYE.com, Kmart.com/Sears.com, Newegg.com, Overstock.com, Target, Target
.com, Toys R Us, ToysRUs.com and Wal-mart.com. Unless otherwise noted or
known by me, the prices are the same in store and online at their respective
websites. I noted shipping in the price rankings because of the competition
between stores, but I will only be comparing base prices of the movie,
unless shipping costs cannot be avoided, like on Sears.com, where its $2.99
for EVERY movie order. Otherwise, I will not factor shipping costs into the
price rankings as a result.
Please note that with these price rankings, these prices are as current |
