The hype and clear slate should give them a pretty good run over the 2 week Xmax break, but I don't see it having anywhere near the legs of the first movie unless it's a great story or he's figured out a way to get us to care about the characters.

Well, Cameron himself has said that it has to break 2 BILLION to MAKE money...which would generally be considered a success. So...the bar's at 2 billion...

When the much-anticipated James Cameron sci-fi epic is released on December 16, it will need to make more than $2 billion at the global box office, just to break even. That’s according to Cameron himself, who told GQ for a story published this week that the movie is “very f–king” expensive and possibly represented “the worst business case in movie history.”
