movie Avatar: The Way of Water | Billions: 2 | Oscar Noms: 4 | Best Picture Noms: 1

[Zerocoke]

$24M Sunday, so $66.4M 3rd Weekend DOM (+4/5% compared to last week).

 

While last weekend was definitely impacted by the storm, this is still an incredible result and the third biggest 3rd weekend ever. Hopefully it manages to stay afloat next weekend and pull off +$40M.

not people being surprised when there are no other big movies out, the promo is extreme and it has like 70% of the screens

It’s not Avatar’s fault the competition fled to different release dates.

Sunday delivered!

How's this doing inflation wise? 

[vale9001]

with inflation and 3d prices it's not gonna sell so many more tickets than Iron Man3. It's not that great for the sequel of the biggest movie of all time. I would say it's gonna lose 40-50% of tickets from the first movie. 

They're good films to watch with the family on the holiday but still a so-so non very relevant saga. Everything about is so trite.

I hate MCU but that's is a relly relevant saga who is changing the face of movie entertainemnt for the contents, narrativem the fruition of movies and everything. 

 

This year alone top gun felt a way bigger event.

The amount of reaching and fuming needed to try and come for a movie that will cross 2b.

The mental gymnastics. The fuming. Ticket sales are not tracked WW and they’re difficult to estimate considering 3D, inflation, and different exchange rates across the board

 

Jatinder estimates around 250M tickets for TWOW (vs. 313M for Avatar) if it reaches 2B, surpassing No Way Home. Would rank 4th in tickets sold (of the 2000s) only behind Endgame, Avatar and Infinity War.

 

Considering the current macroeconomic conditions, Covid in China, no Russia, the streaming wars and the fact that this is not a nostalgia driven or +20 movie build up finale to a huge cinematic saga, this is absolutely incredible.

 

(Also, Top Gun would be at around 150M tickets sold so, yeah)

maybe in the US...

 

Not WW... no way.

 

Let's start thinking the US is not the centre of the world

[Dialamba]

Either way Disney is winning. However I remember people were saying avatars had no impact and would tank.

Watched this for third time last night with my friends. 

Yes, I still cried at the ending. The second installment really has soul compared to the first one.

The worst possible scenario for this movie is to become the 4th top grossing movie ever...at over 2b. That's enough to pay for this movie AND the 3rd entry already, which will be profits only. 

 

There's also no way of telling which movie is a bigger event for now...this one or Top Gun. What we can state as a FACT is that Top Gun will be surpassed over the next few days...and by a movie that was on cinemas for like 3 weeks only. 

[manwhore]

Won't break even!

 

still not at 2 billion? ouch! Titanic 2: multiverse storyline now to save face Cammy.

The fumes lmaooo. B-but inflation, b-but too much promo! B-but no competition! Didn't feel like an event!

ikr...as if this movie isn't surpassing every MCU entry which usually also "don't have competition" 

[BNF91]

Anyways... 

 

OS weekend increasing to $190M! Bonkers 3rd weekend, next weekend should still be huge (another $100-120M+). At $960M+ with holiday Monday still to record, which should bring it past $1B OS today. $1.5B OS is looking good right now.

 

Domestic rises, leaps past Black Panther's 3rd weekend. Sunday ended up being the best 3rd Sunday of all-time domestically! Monday will be nice again as it is holiday, another $20M+. So 4-day of $87-88M, and $445M+ domestic after today. $630-650M domestic looking good right now. 

 

$2-2.25B is the new game! Leaving NWH and TFA in the rear view mirror. 

 

And like sis @Zerocokesaid, this will be the 4th biggest admissions of the 21st century with 250M+ tickets sold. Most certainly, an event.

Some people just live under a rock or on another planet or something lmao. Avatar is the most global franchise, possibly ever. Every continent gets in on the action. 

[BNF91]

Avatar 2 will F-35 zoom by Top Gun Maverick's lifetime gross (including re-releases) after just 20 days in release. While still making $35-50M daily and a $150M+ 4th weekend globally on the way. They are not in the same realm, same level, same league, nothing. 

[BNF91]

@Bloodflowers.China 3rd Monday bigger than debut Monday.. $9.2M. It's cruising now, almost like it was re-released this past weekend. $163M total so far there.

Such a bad takes.

Imagine calling a 2 billions grossing movie a non event. Go outside or talk with some real people. Some people i know literally never went to theater was seated for this release and everyone was like "Have you seen the new Avatar movie?" to start off conversation in the past 3 weeks lol.

And where are they now?

 

And what happened to the DCEU who best represented the MCU's "impact"? 

 

Avatar doesn't need a 20 movie build up or a reunion of decades old characters/actors like Harrison Ford or Tobey Maguire

They literally grossed $3 billion last year.
