This would end up at #2 AT LEAST without Covid ruining its run in China and no Russia release + Ukraine. 

 

The first Avatar :

Russia: $116M

Ukraine: 8.1M

 

China had projections close to $600M before the recent Covid outbreak. It will surpass $200M in the end...

 

That's at least around $530M on the table that the movie isn't doing from these 3 territories 

 

This is honestly insane...and the funniest part is, this movie is coming out after over a decade before the previous one and has a Cinemascore of A and the next sequels will take much less to be released since the 3rd one is filmed and part of the 4th one as well 

 

This could potentially be the least grossing Avatar movie of them all, lmao. Next time China won't be dealing with the same stuff it is right now, let's not forget that.

 

The way all the "forgotten!" "Pocahontas!" "no cultural impact!" people are completely MUTE now

3rd watch and the end made me cry

Didn't happen with the first or second time I watched it. Lol

Watch it 2 more times for healing

2billion before January ends? 

[Anomaly]

I knew this would smash lol. The people saying the world forgot about Avatar are the same people who said the world forgot about Adele before she released Hello.

[shookgrande]

I'm finally seeing it this week

probably subjective but is Dolby Cinema 3D the best way the watch this movie? or IMAX? and in 3D or non-3D?

Yes definitely. I think it is pacing for 2b around 20 - 25th.

The third movie will be pure profit only

$6.5M DOM possible Monday?

 

 

[BNF91]

Some updates to numbers. OS up to $1195M and domestic Sunday up to $13.5M for a $45.8M weekend. $1.712B total, +3M increase 

 

Holidays are over, so don't be surprised at big drops in markets. But Avatar should still continue to pull in big business. With MLK holiday wknd next week,I'm currently seeing a $33-36M 5th weekend and a $42-45M 4-day weekend. $570-580M domestic by next week Monday. 

 

OS was massive Fourth weekend thanks to some European holidays and big holds plus South American increases. Holidays done so there will be a drop but I think it will still hold well. Look for another $35-40M weekdays plus a $75-90M 5th weekend for $1.31-1.33B OS by Sunday. 

 

$1.9B by this coming Sunday/Monday.

Off a $13.5M Sunday, I'd expect a $4-5M Monday. Which would be great. Big Tuesday bumps would mean a potential $6M Tuesday. Right on track for a $33-35M 3-day and $40M+ 4-day 5th weekend. 

 

NFL games will affect Sunday/Monday number for a couple weeks until the Superbowl. But Avatar will be big enough regardless. Tuesdays and Saturdays will be huge for it every week.

Ah yes i'm sure 2022 and 2023 Ukraine's box office must be amazing. I can't even find the movie's BO from there...

[Konril]

Okay so I just finished watching this on IMAX. Lemme just say that my theater was PACKED, only the front seats were available.

 

I like this one better than Avatar 1. Story wise, nothing special but the visuals were so gorgeous especially the underwater scenes, it's such an immersive experience. Kudos to you JC.

I simply pointed out your mistake. I literally watched the movie yesterday. The movie is available in virtually every theater (although fewer people show up to the movies due to constant air alerts).

Titanic is such a beast for being the only 20th century film, back when ticket prices were much cheaper, to compete with modern day films. A cultural event!

I tried to go to one 4D theater yesterday to everything was sold out 

hope I can watch it again this weekend
