So, 2.2 to go?

I really don't see how it is even an argument. Titanic was the most outstanding BO run globally followed by Endgame. Avatar is a rather distant 3rd whose BO numbers were mainly a result of very good reception + premium format ticket prices + best ER situation in ages from an USD perspective. Almost all numbers proves that. Now if you wanna rake in the average movie going numbers overall year on year and then compare how much above others Titanic and Endgame were, you may actually find that Endgame edges closer given the surreal amount of entertainment choices we all have today, compared to 1999. So even if you dig into every factor that is not BO numbers and therefore more likely to be comparable, Charlie's lists based on admissions still act as a great indicator of how good the runs of those movies were.

Is 2.8 possible or a pipe dream?

Using percentages and ratios without context is always bad bad math, practically speaking. It applies for multipliers too. I mean the friggin word itself gives it away, its a multiplier of something and whether it is good or bad always depends more on the something rather than the multiplier itself.

In b4 Cameron tries Terminator 25: Time Heist.

@IronJimbo Still laughing at yourself? 😊

At yourself? :p

ASk yourself :)

I love Terminator 1 and 2 and True Lies and I am in awe of the BO achievement of Titanic and Avatar even though I find both movies pretty bland and stupid and soul-less, but God is he a grade A dick or what? I know the movie industry has a lot of self absorbed pricks but he must be of the top draw of the dicks that exist in Hollywood.

I am very new here and a total n00b when it comes to BO predictions (and I am 35+ as you can guess from my usage of the word n00b), but am I the only one who thinks Avatar 2 will not do any bonkers numbers? Now, if the movie is really good and it creates an absolute must watch experience in the cinemas, then sure, I can see Avatar 3 breaking all kinds of records. But given the time that has passed since Avatar 1, I feel 2 has to lay some of the foundation again for its successors to reap the rewards. The same with the MCU and whatever the next Avengers movie is. I feel Avengers 5 has to act as a set up and be so good that Avengers 6 can then look at toppling BO records. And for all we know, some new movie can come in and totally crush it as well but I still feel we are now heading into the "sequels set all the records" territory given how front-loaded and competitive the entertainment market has been getting.

I like the symmetry of MCU having the WW crown, Avatar the OS crown and SW the domestic crown. It just feels right.

So, MCU will have WW record, SW will have Domestic record and Avatar will have OS record. Perfectly balanced... :p Though, the Avatar one is ridiculous and only due to the ER of 2009.

People are acting stupid on the internet. That's new..........................

You, of course........... of course............. of course...........
