  1. 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.

    Quite the achievement.  It is also an interesting discussion point regarding legs.  This movie made more money after opening weekend than all but 3 films, yet it is criticized for having mediocre legs because legs are typically judged by the multiplier of the opening weekend.  I'm not saying that this measure is bad, but it doesn't tell the whole story.

     

    In cases where there is a huge must see factor or spoiler concern, maybe it is good to look at the post opening weekend gross just as much as the multiplier.  If we were to take this to an absurd conclusion, a movie that grossed 500 million in its first weekend and then 950 million afterwards (more than any movie ever) would be considered to have poor legs despite making more money than any movie ever after opening weekend.

    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.

  3. 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.

    257.7 counts, and 357.99 would as well. Fingers crossed.      

     

    2nd weekend 207 because of capacity/spillover, 3rd weekend 107, 4th weekend 57. Then the work is done :ph34r:

    And it will always be...  :p
