Avatar-Mini Cases Study
The Beginning
In 1994, director James Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for Avatar.In August 1996, he announced that after completing Titanic, he would film Avatar, which would make use of synthetic, or computer-generated, actors.The project would cost $100 million and involve at least six actors in leading roles "who appear to be real but do not exist in the physical world". Visual effects house Digital Domain, with whom Cameron has a partnership, joined the project, which was supposed to begin production in the summer of 1997 for a 1999 release.However, Cameron felt that the technology had not caught up with the story and vision that he intended to tell. He decided to concentrate on making documentaries and refining the technology for the next few years.
The first movie ever to earn more $2 billion worldwide.

Box office weekend
The film's British box office revenues in its first 12 weeks of release were £6.1 million, less than a quarter of its production cost.
The film was released in the United States with a different title and a radically-different marketing angle. However the film earned less than $3 million in its first weekend (in a large-scale release of 882 screens) and suffered a stiff 49.7% drop-off on its second weekend - earning only $1.46 million.
Reviews of The Boat that rocked
IMDB
Overview
The guardian gave the film 2 stars.-Peter Bradshaw
It's a great cast, and the aggregate wattage of their collective screen presence maintains a certain level of watchability. But they are almost never given any honest-to-goodness funny lines, just warm-hearted, decaffeinated dialogue and opportunities to laugh uproariously with and not at each other - not responding to jokes as such, but affirming to themselves and to us what great guys they all are. Their professional record-playing activities are presented in montage and we are regularly shown vignettes of ordinary Brits adoringly gathered round their radios - nurses, schoolgirls and couples in parks.has one or two funny moments: Rhys Darby gets some laughs as he daringly plays Seekers records back-to-back, and there is an engagingly oddball character called Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke). But please, Mr Curtis, enough with the warm-heartedness. We need some gags.The new film from Richard Curtis is a fond tribute to the heroes of his childhood: the 1960s radio pirates who exploited a legal loophole to broadcast rockandpoptastic sounds from a leaky boat in the North Sea while the BBC's stuffy monopolists were still cranking out Mantovani and Jess Conrad. The movie is boisterous, sentimental and worryingly deficient in laughs for a worryingly large amount of the time.
