Yeah, an 80-90 4-day when Saturday & Sunday are Christmas Eve & Day still has me in an “I’m not sure where this movie is headed” mindset. -
Yeah, I won't pretend to forecast. Things can turn on a dime. Just feels grim(ish) right now. But the BO has had very slow years in the past. But as a related aside: I guess what I like about JC & therefore Avatar is that he's pushing the technical aspects of film in ways that can't be replicated at home. And I have to wonder if that won't be critical for the future of cinema.
-
It's funny, coming out of the pandemic we had NWH & TGM do such huge business I was really optimistic about what the BO would look like going forward. But the rest of the year has been discouraging. I ascribed some of that to the MCU tentpoles not landing with audiences (especially Thor), but A2 is a litmus test. That said, weather is a huge confounder here.

Montréal is a world unto itself when it comes to this kind of thing. I remember going out on sub-zero (Fahrenheit) Saturdays and girls would be waiting in line in mini skirts & high heels at the club. IOW, I suspect your opinion is very skewed based on where you live. But, also, I love where you live. My second home, and my wife’s hometown!
-
So, that being said, I retract my original statement about today's number being as unreliable as yesterday's. 😄
-
That's all fine but a bit tangential. I guess the thing I needed to know, that wasn't clear until now, is that all the early numbers yesterday (besides 17M) were based on nothing, & today's early number is based on Charlie.

Yous guys is killin' me.

Is Wed 14.5 also a joke?
-
22 was obviously a joke, I agree. What I saw was a serious reaction to the first two numbers in this thread & a lot of strife over those numbers. So, I guess the joke fooled a bunch of people!
-
Well, if we're off 1.3M from the 14.5 we're talking about now, it could be 13.2 or 15.8...which will generate very different emotional responses in here, I suspect. 😜
-
Narrator: Everyone freaked out.
-
Were 13.5, 14, 15, & 17 all jokes?
-
I'm going to go ahead & place my bets on: Early Wednesday number on this thread is roughly as reliable as yesterday's early Tuesday numbers were.
-
Cool your jets, comrade. My personal count of hearing that explanation has only been 2, not 8 mill, and only today. But thanks anyway for setting the record straight. 👍
-
Hm...I'm not sure that's really ever entered my head, though I do admit it's possible with streaming in a way it isn't with the theater. Though, again, sample size is n=1 here. But, also, theater never sees you go on 4+ hour binges, which also have definitely happened while streaming to this sample size of n=1.

Didn't Cameron himself point to this having to clear $2B to be profitable?
-
*whispers* (Yes, I know, just trying to be a bit charitable with the quoted post.) 😉
-
Eh...that's certainly possible, they *can* do it, but I'm not sure they actually avail themselves of those options during content that's engaging them--other than bathroom breaks or kitchen runs. Certainly, I don't. Though that's admittedly a sample size of one. Still, this line of doubt doesn't feel particularly compelling to me.
-
Do we have a Tuesday estimate already?
-
Same here. I just sort of glaze my eyes over for the Army of the Dead & re-engage when we get to the Houses of Healing (extended edition is the only way).
-
Also my only complaint. So OP that it almost cheapens the battle that came before it.
-
I'm waiting for this upcoming holiday weekend to end, but I agree I don't think this Monday number points to really exceptional legs. Gotta agree with you here.
-
With weekdays like this, it will need to have a pretty stellar second weekend (with allowances made for Christmas) to establish itself as a leggy run.
-
Yes, agree wholeheartedly. Looking forward to a larger sampling of audience reviews/impressions as time wears on. I may be a noob at this, but looking at RT audience scores (93 for this one), it seems to be doing much better than the first flick (82) but considerably worse than TGM (99!).
