Should be fine as A2 friday jump will probably be close to twice as big compared to last week.

The pace might slow down a little bit. Last weekend was still inflated due to a holiday, especially in Europe where A2 does best.

What, you gave up on it beating NWH DOM? Disappointed...

I can already see it, M3gan vs Chucky.

Which is a shame. Some people don't like subs but i like being able to read them when i miss some spoken words. Imagine listening to OV Bane in DKR...

Number of shows for OV versions are small but OV with subtitles is almost non existant.

Well, agree to disagree. I'd rather have picture instead of black bars. Btw, 1.33:1 would have black bars on the sides. I would not like that, at all.

1.78:1 is better because you get more picture. That's like saying "i prefer cinemascope to IMAX".

He's thrown in the towel.

Guys, we have learned 14.5 is a fake number that gets thrown around a lot.

But there are no real numbers yet just early trending based on preliminary data. I'm sure when they are comfortable putting out a number they will and post it in the title like they have always done. EDIT: Of course right when i write this, numbers get posted...

This is normal because some of that THU gross counts towards the weekend. In some countries the weekend goes from THU to SUN, so 4-day.

Who opened that can of worms, anyway? Sure, EG might be bigger in terms of admissions because it sold a lot of cheap(-er) tickets in some big developing markets with billions of people. I'm sure there are also some obscure Chinese movies that sold hundreds of millions of tickets. But to come here and argue that EG's run was at least as impressive as A1's? Sorry, you would be absolutely wrong. I mean, just look at what the top-lifetime-grosses list looked like in 2009 and compare that to 2019 or today. The only films on that list in the top 30 that were released prior to 2010 are Avatar and ROTK. Yes, it is absolutely easer to make big bucks today than 13 years ago because the market expanded. As for A2, without Covid (mainly China) and the war (Russia / Ukrain), it would have grossed about the same as EG.

So you are saying Avatar was responsible for the downward trend.

IMAX is PLF with a brand name.

I'm not even that hung up on whether it beats TGM tbh, i just wan't it to cross 700m. It has a nice ring to it.

As usual, we should get first numbers on sunday evening.

2nd 168m 3rd 190m

I'm officially apologizing for telling others what A2 can and can't do when in fact they have been closer to real numbers than myself on multiple occasions. Even though i got the gist right in that FRI bump is gonna be muted and FRI-to-WKND multiplier will be higher i still underestimated its ability to hold on to its audience, again. I'm eating humble pie. Screw it, i'm jumping on the "this-might-actually-take-down-TGM" bandwagon! @IronJimbo @stuart360

That would require a big bump. I doubt it.

nwm

Why sad face (not you, someone reacted to your post)? That would be a good number for A2. Hopefully, it doesn't go down...

Dunno if the comparison is that interesting anymore now that R1 is in its rear mirror. I guess i like seeing R1 getting pummeled.... body { color: black; } red { color: red; } blue { color: blue; } grey { color: grey; } Day / Date Rogue One Avatar Way of Water 0 / Dec 15 Thu $29,000,000 total $29,000,000 $17,000,000 total $17,000,000 1 / Dec 16 Fri $71,094,394 (theaters 4,157) (YD - / LW -) total $71,094,394 $53,200,270 (theaters 4,202) (YD - / LW -) total $53,200,270 2 / Dec 17 Sat $46,308,115 (theaters 4,157) (YD -35% / LW -) total $117,402,509 $44,327,887 (theaters 4,202) (YD -17% / LW -) total $97,528,157 3 / Dec 18 Sun $37,679,172 (theaters 4,157) (YD -19% / LW -) total $155,081,681 WE 1 $155,081,681 (-) $36,572,069 (theaters 4,202) (YD -17% / LW -) total $134,100,226 WE 1 $134,100,226 (-) 4 / Dec 19 Mon $17,596,150 (theaters 4,157) (YD -53% / LW -) total $172,677,831 $16,257,078 (theaters 4,202) (YD -56% / LW -) total $150,357,304 5 / Dec 20 Tue $17,582,978 (theaters 4,157) (YD - / LW -) total $190,260,809 $18,288,904 (theaters 4,202) (YD +12% / LW -) total $168,646,208 6 / Dec 21 Wed $14,965,790 (theaters 4,157) (YD -15% / LW -) total $205,226,599 $14,403,438 (theaters 4,202) (YD -21% / LW -) total $183,049,646 7 / Dec 22 Thu $16,773,075 (theaters 4,157) (YD +12% / LW -) total $221,999,674 $14,632,040 (theaters 4,202) (YD +2% / LW -) total $197,681,686 8 / Dec 23 Fri $22,860,256 (theaters 4,157) (YD +36% / LW -68%) total $244,859,930 $19,289,141 (theaters 4,202) (YD +32% / LW -64%) total $216,970,827 9 / Dec 24 Sat $15,308,508 (theaters 4,157) (YD -33% / LW -67%) total $260,168,438 $14,869,288 (theaters 4,202) (YD -23% / LW -66%) total $231,840,115 10 / Dec 25 Sun $25,865,004 (theaters 4,157) (YD +69% / LW -31%) total $286,033,442 WE 2 $64,033,768 (-59%) $29,179,791 (theaters 4,202) (YD +96% / LW -20%) total $261,019,906 WE 2 $63,338,220 (-53%) 11 / Dec 26 Mon $32,085,637 (theaters 4,157) (YD +24% / LW +82%) total $318,119,079 $32,270,430 (theaters 4,202) (YD +11% / LW +99%) total $293,290,336 12 / Dec 27 Tue $22,515,612 (theaters 4,157) (YD -30% / LW +28%) total $340,634,691 $24,128,503 (theaters 4,202) (YD -25% / LW +32%) total $317,418,839 13 / Dec 28 Wed $18,021,482 (theaters 4,157) (YD -20% / LW +20%) total $358,656,173 $20,582,014 (theaters 4,202) (YD -15% / LW +43%) total $338,000,853 14 / Dec 29 Thu $16,722,532 (theaters 4,157) (YD -7% / LW n/c) total $375,378,705 $20,117,061 (theaters 4,202) (YD -2% / LW +37%) total $358,117,914 15 / Dec 30 Fri $18,224,317 (theaters 4,157) (YD +9% / LW -20%) total $393,603,022 $24,836,835 (theaters 4,202) (YD +23% / LW +29%) total $382,954,749 16 / Dec 31 Sat $14,632,828 (theaters 4,157) (YD -20% / LW -4%) total $408,235,850 $18,053,159 (theaters 4,202) (YD -27% / LW +21%) total $401,007,908 17 / Jan 1 Sun $16,751,857 (theaters 4,157) (YD +14% / LW -35%) total $424,987,707 WE 3 $49,609,002 (-23%) $24,519,161 (theaters 4,202) (YD +36% / LW -16%) total $425,527,069 WE 3 $67,409,155 (+6%) 18 / Jan 2 Mon $15,913,674 (theaters 4,157) (YD -5% / LW -50%) total $440,901,381 $21,411,622 (theaters 4,202) (YD -13% / LW -34%) total $446,938,691 19 / Jan 3 Tue $6,268,921 (theaters 4,157) (YD -61% / LW -72%) total $447,170,302 $10,544,729 (theaters 4,202) (YD -51% / LW -56%) total $457,483,420 20 / Jan 4 Wed $4,237,535 (theaters 4,157) (YD -32% / LW -76%) total $451,407,837 $7,475,308 (theaters 4,202) (YD -29% / LW -64%) total $464,958,728 21 / Jan 5 Thu $3,893,517 (theaters 4,157) (YD -8% / LW -77%) total $455,301,354 $6,830,651 (theaters 4,202) (YD -9% / LW -66%) total $471,789,379
