I'm expecting something very special.

hey... give me witcher 3 over any comic book movie. Think that's kinda a low blow on Grey Ghost there Goffe, video games are another creative medium the comparison is fine.

Don't get me started on post Disney buyout toy wars featuring beeb8 and prog.

Don't worry I know who it is... luckily Jim is infamous for not listening to studio producers or we could have ourselves another Last Jedi situation where the director gets bossed about by a Disney exec.

lol one guy that's the best you can do? I've skipped a nights sleep before.

Think the recs are because people's eyes light up when they see a purple name, they go into automatic. That mixed in with the fact people love to hate Jimbo... Thankfully recs are anything but an indication of who is right.

you already are, big DAJK

BP isn't a threat... tracking for <0.5A. I really don't see where the insecurity could be.

tomorrows drop could be huge

Word of advice fabio, don't say things like that on here they'll group you will the so called crazies like me.

Imagine knowing full well that the biggest meteor of all time is about to smash into the planet at a 100kmph, you can see it coming but everyone else is sleeping with their eyes open. A2 will turn cinema upside down.

No need to be so rude as usual Empire, as you know these films all would have made double without the business plan film-making in the way, without the Last Jedi in the way feeding of the nostalgia of masses like money hungry dementors (shout out to the potter gang) Jumanji would have been the one to make $600m. Imagine a world where Disney instead works with big name directors to help them get their vision onto the screens, instead we have what I call backwards film-making, the studio (heartlness) chooses the film then finds a right pieces to complete it. Big' Jimmy (6ft2 btw) is the only man who can save us.. big budget films with big heart, class meets success, vision meets creativity, talent meets genius, the Avatar saga will revolutionise cinema just as Camerons films before it did. I know how much it frustrates you all that Star Wars isn't number 1 or 2 so remember this post when Avatar 2 makes $3 billion, and Empire City I want you to be the one to give the latest scoop on the best box office run of all time, it would make me a very happy Jimbo.

What worries me about Black Panthers run isn't the fact people have flocked to see it in America, as far I know it's a great superhero movie. It's how well Infinity War will do that worries me... the better IW does.. the more superhero movies there will be. I'll do what I can to support original films by film-makers but I fear that business plan film-making is becoming more and more prolific. I'm envisioning a dark world, a horrible place, where cinema only shows superhero movies and everything else is straight to netflix... please will someone save us? There's only one person who can save us... he will and can, god bless his soul.

$72.04M

Which is odd to me as Avatar had much sounder sci fi than Star Wars which revolves around jedi's, the force is magic. The Avatar hate crew seems to love starwars and superheroes... pretty odd.

Here's Jim's take on the Dances with Wolves comparisons, 6m 50s. @vc2002

Avatar had 6 competitors that grossed more than $7m in it's second weekend. 2 N Sherlock Holmes WB $62,304,277 - 3,626 - $17,183 $62,304,277 $90 1 3 N Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Fox $48,875,415 - 3,700 - $13,210 $75,589,048 $75 1 4 N It's Complicated Uni. $22,100,820 - 2,887 - $7,655 $22,100,820 $85 1 5 3 The Blind Side WB $11,519,345 +14.9% 2,766 -641 $4,165 $184,195,981 $29 6 6 8 Up in the Air Par. $11,270,248 +251.1% 1,895 +1,720 $5,947 $24,031,968 $25 4 7 2 The Princess and the Frog BV $9,004,610 -26.1% 3,475 - $2,591 $63,679,289 $105 5

Yeah it's doing amazing in America and even here in the UK I'm not trying to deny that Lexa, just pointing out the competition is super weak. I can't remember something as jarring as second week BP $47.8m, first week GN and Ann $7m and $4.2m respectively.

Don't worry when you're at the midnight release for A2 it will jog your memory.

I just looked and there's going to be no competition next week either. 02 March 2018 Red Sparrow (2018) Death Wish (2018) Oh Lucy! (2017) The Vanishing of Sidney Hall (2017) I suppose the lack of competition will just be ignored by history though.

well think harder, if you can't remember a single scene from a movie you've seen I'll start to be worried.

Well The Force Awakens did ruin his buddies creation, poor locust. Thankfully the rest of the world exists and Titanic and Avatar are the two highest grossing films of all time in the known universe. Remember first and foremost I'm an international poster, so remember when you guys are hyping this film... I'm sitting here thinking.. it ain't even gonna make 0.5A.

ah apologies, thought I had missed the weekend total for a moment. It's normally around this time we get a weekend estimate.

wait.. we don't have numbers yet. What am I missing.
