Because Avatar wasn't actually a bad movie, just generic, while Spirits Within was actually bad. Also, Avatar was American. That meant that a lot more of their budget was centered on the American and Chinese markets, which pretty much is the universally understood (nowadays) way to make money. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
