Did you think that the film had the potential to become big before it was released when you saw the trailer or read the first reviews? I was reading some old posts from a film critic (who ended up loving the movie) were he made some box office predictions at the beginning of 2009 and one of them was that Avatar had the potential to make 300 plus million at the domestic box office since James Cameron's had been a very successful filmmaker before that. I'm asking this partly because I know that there were a lot of people within the entertainment industry who thought it was gonna be a huge box office failure. Did you personally have faith in the movie even before you saw it and became a fan?
