I think I'm going to give it another $25 or so and take my kids to see Thursday afternoon

It makes sense. The one with more coherent story should win out.

Avatar's story, acting and effects were superior IMO.

Then you need to factor in that the US population in 1939 was about 130 million versus 326 million now.

You also need to factor in that it was re-released multiple times throughout the years. There was no home video
