Not good news.....more like a kick in the pills..... Hollywood Reporter - June 13/2023 Disney’s film empire has reimagined its theatrical release calendar in a major way. The studio announced a slew of changes on Tuesday, led by the news that it is setting two Star Wars movies for 2026 and pushing back Avatar 3 by a year, from December 2024 to December 2025. Additionally, Avatar 4 will now hit theaters in December 2029, followed by Avatar 5 in December 2031 — meaning 4 and 5will now open three years later than previously announced. -

11 Weeks now in the books, still an outside chance it could hit $680 million Domestic assuming an average drawdown of 30% per week, optimistic I know.

Very good trailer imo, I'm expecting the movie to be a lot darker and more sombre being that this is the end of the road for GOTG as an ensemble.

This doesn't look any better than Black Adam, "DC" deserves far better movie making than this. The Flash trailer looked like more of the same rote material that's been worked over far too many times. The blatant Batman fan service might help it at the box office but will it be offset by Ezra Miller? I can't stand his version of The Flash and now there's two of them? I need to see more before rendering a final will I see this in theatres or not.

I can hear Tom Cruise right now, "nope, I can't hear a thing". A2 is not going to catch TGM in the domestic market.

I agree with most of this, TGM along with Avatar pushed sales for the premium screens HARD. The only difference between the two is 3D whether on premium screens or regular (Avatar). Both movies benefitted tremendously from the premium formats esp. IMAX.

Laziness - you have to drill down in the MPAA Annual Reports to find the numbers. Going by the CNBC article regarding Avatar's box office breakdown, the numbers were..... Premium (IMAX/Dolby/Screen X 2D/3D) : 14% of ticket sales : $15.76/ticket avg. 3D: 3.7% of ticket sales : $16.30/ticket avg. 2D: 82.3% of ticket sales: $12.12/ticket avg. One can work out the math and see that the avg. ticket price for 2022 is far above $9.17 used by The Numbers. from the CNBC article. When people go to the movies they have several choices for how to watch a movie. Film formats include traditional 2D viewing, 3D shows and 70 millimeter movies, said Steve Buck of movie data firm EntTelligence. Auditorium formats are digital, often called standard, and then premium, which includes screens like IMAX, Dolby Cinema and ScreenX. Throughout its run, “The Way of Water” has generated nearly 30% of its domestic ticket sales from premium format showings, averaging $17.80 per ticket, according to data from EntTelligence. For comparison, all other movies released in 2022 — not including “The Way of Water” — saw less than 14% of ticket sales from premium showings, averaging $15.76 a ticket. Bolstering box office numbers for the film is the push from Disney and Cameron for 3D showings. This format, which can be found at standard theaters and in premium auditoriums, also carries a higher price tag. Since its release, the “Avatar” sequel has seen more than 56% of its tickets sold for 3D showings. These tickets averaged $16.30 a piece, while traditional 2D tickets sold for around $12.12 each. In 2022, 3D showings accounted for 7.7% of all ticket sales. Removing “The Way of Water,” these tickets were only 3.7% of total sales.

In my area the only screens that ever come close to 65-95% capacity are IMAX and that's for huge movies like Avatar/Top Gun/Marvel/DC, that's it.

WoW daily domestic gross dips below $1 million for the first time on DAY #53 - Top Gun Maverick was day #76 and Avatar 2009 was day #81.

Pretty much, it's symptomatic of an industry wide problem, theatre attendance across the board in the domestic market is WAY down. The latest move by AMC to jack premium seats by $2 will drive even more people to stay home and enjoy content at their leisure. Given the quality of the home experience that can be achieved these days (65-77" OLED screens, 4K/Blu + decent sound) why would anyone even bother to go to theatre except in very rare cases where the huge screen makes it worthwhile? The industry has changed substantially since 2009 and the big chains are circling the drain with this policy of constantly increasing prices to make up for lost revenue. Punish loyal customers by asking them to pay more? The avg. price of a 2009 movie ticket according to the MPAA was $7.50, even if you stick a 25% premium for 3D, Avatar 2009 sold about 80 million tickets. I firmly believe the next two years will determine the fate of this industry in North America.
