Not surprising. That annual December release is going to make them tons of money, literally...unless people get tired of them.
Hell of a good strategy. December belongs to the force. Disney is trying to take over Christ. Holy crap, could this be a new revelation? Will all this come true?
What a flash in the pan that movie was. Without the novelty of 3D it won't do anywhere near the business. Hoping it fails incredibly hard.

Maybe Rey should have a laser fight with her father (who she does not quite know is her father) and have her hand chopped off? Probably should have put the above in a spoiler.
Disney actually has a huge amount of money sunk in Avatar related theme park development. They're constructing a Pandora at their Animal Kingdom park in Orlando...huge project. I've never seen Avatar. It's one of the highest grossing movies of all time...never seen a second of it. I should probably check it out.
Why would you hope it fails? It was a very well made movie, and obviously the vast majority of viewers loved it.
