Dylan here and Airbender has grossed $10 million so far from 4 overseas markets including Russia where it made $8 million. It opens in Japan next week.

Dylan here and in its second weekend of release, The Last Airbender has made $17.5 million, giving it a total of $100.6 million made domestically so far.

Dylan here, and in an article on MTV, Shyamalan talks about the possible sequel: "I've written a draft that I'm really happy with and is darker and richer, and it has a wonderful antagonist in it in Azula, who's kind of like our only real, pure antagonist in the series, so I'm excited about that."

Dylan here and The Last Airbender has opened to a higher than expected $70.5 million over its first 5 days in release.

Dylan here and having made $70+ million after Monday, it looks extremely likely that we'll be seeing Book 2 as a movie. Why do I say that? Well even if bad word of mouth hurts the movie in the 2nd week, it's bound to take in $150 million domestically which would cover the production costs. Then who knows how much it'll make internationally (Paramount expects a lot). The international grossing should easily cover the marketing costs and beyond. Paramount will make money on this movie, and really that's all that matters. Even with terrible reviews, we should see a sequel. At this point, I really hope Paramount green lights the sequel soon and brings on a new writer to rework Shyamalan's supposedly already done script for the sequel. With a new writer, the effects studio already in place, and at the very least a decent director at the helm, you'd have to think things would look good for the sequel. Now if only Shyamalan would listen to everyone and let someone else write the script...
