It took 25 years from the first 1bil movie, to today where we have 52 bil movies.
We currently have 5 2bil movies since 2009. I bet its going to take waaay longer than 25 years to get to 50 2bil movies.
China growth is probably the main reason for all those 1b+ movies.

With that said, putting my chips down and making this prediction: whether or not Rogue One is above A2 on Monday, it will never be above it again
Hope you are right.

So, if Avatar 2 is to reach 600m DOM it needs to first make up about $24m to catch up to Rogue One and then outgross it by another $67m, that's over $90m all in all, no chump change. Personally, at this point, i have some doubts that it is going to do that. So far, it is losing some days and winning other days, showing no signs of clear legs advantage. And the longer it takes the more difficult it gets because grosses get smaller and smaller. The next few days will be crucial...

I feel like the UK is waking up, the bad press led to a muted opening and now people have actually watched it and told their mates we're picking up the pace.
UK might make #3 yet by the end of the run
Similar thing happened during the original's run. I remember people being rather disappointed by the UK opening. In the end it finished with a record gross, behind Germany and France (and China of course).

Should have waited to release it until glasses-free 3D was a thing smh
Cameron can't wait another 20 years. He's getting a bit long in the tooth.

Everywhere needs to take lessons from Korea and be more like them.
I concur. I'm obsessed with kdramas.

The question is whether he can keep selling Avatar movies on the basis of visuals. What else is there to offer visually? At some point the story will have to sell itself more than visuals. Is there a story to tell where people truly want to see what happens next? Are people tied to the characters enough to anticipate the next and the one after that and the one after that?
You could ask that for many blockbusters. I feel like Avatar gets singled out because the visuals are such a leap forward compared to the rest and thus such a talking point.

My theory is that the bad script is much less noticeable in dubbed/subbed versions.
So people had a crystal ball and predicted a noticebly bad script so they didn't show up on OW...

Eh, I think the final shopping day/Xmas Eve/Xmas Day (weaker post-pandemic) plus massive winter storm weekend has a chance to be deceptively low and not necessarily indicative of future potential
Should have a much better idea after seeing the boost for the post-Christmas weekdays, narrow the range a good deal
I feel like too much of a big deal is getting made of the winter storm, the same way i believe the storm when original Avatar opened didn't affect gross that much.
If it doesn't drop much better than Rogue One on its 2nd weekend (like around -45%) i feel like it is getting pretty ordinary legs.

Why the 7m discrepancy? When will Disney incorporate those 7m?

So you’re going to doubt Charlie’s numbers? Come on.
If you are calling +/- 0.5m doubting then yes.

Nice try, many of us have been saying its the 4th weekend that will be the first true idea of where this is going.
Christams and New Year weekends can be all over the place for various reasons.
We will have a pretty good idea where this is heading after upcoming Sunday.

Not even close? It’s in four days and people are already pre-emptively spinning it.
We don't even have actuals for the first day after OW.

So if the third weekend also doesn’t suddenly become an insane legs masterpiece will people accept it or just say “THE FOURTH WEEKEND GOT THIS”?
Why are you asking this when we are not even close to the 2nd weekend?
