the american calender people say that last week A2 had better weekdays because some people were still on holidays, no idea how many people were on holiday in 2009 though
Looking at the days so far it really does seem like A2 performs comparatively better to other films on days where people are not in school/work. Seems like weekends are going to carry this film.
I think 4.5m Monday would be great.
My current thought is that A2 will now perform like Avatar-lite, trending far closer to Avatar's drops than Star Wars/Marvel movies. I actually think it will land directly around the $750m the first movie made strangely.
Internationally though... skys the limit.
It's happening guys.
1. Avatar
2. Endgame
3. Avatar 2
4. Titanic
5. The Force Awakens
I'm looking forward to Avatar 3, when it removes TFA from the list and we can say: Four of the five top highest grossing films of all time belong to James Cameron
That depends on how you define bigger in terms of blockbusters, money or admissions.
Personally, I like to use money. Afterall you could sell 1 billion tickets at $0.01 but what would be the point in that?
If we're talking global and looking at just A2 we can look straight to $500m+ lost from russia and china.
Also I think the confusion is coming from the following:
2022 is meant to be stronger than 2019, not the same. It being the same shows cinema is not back to pre-pandemic strength. Money is worth less now, that's how inflation works.
I'm not really following, you're upset that I'm saying cinema isn't back to pre-covid strength? it isn't though. Could it be you're thinking only domestic? Perhaps it's that.
It's going to end #3 worldwide, and #5 domestic.
Also I wonder if the actuals will increase a little bit over $45m, these are the disney numbers right?
You're completely missing my point here! You said the averages between 2022 and 2019 were the same. I said, that inflation was super high, which means the 2022 values are inflated. Pointing to cinemas not being at full strength
