    The construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza has long been a mystery to historians and archaeologists. How were these massive structures, built with such precision and engineering prowess, created thousands of years ago with the primitive tools and technologies of the time?

    Many theories have been proposed over the years, ranging from the use of sophisticated machinery to the employment of massive slave labor. But none of these theories seemed to fully explain the sheer scale and complexity of the pyramids.

    It wasn't until a team of researchers stumbled upon a long-forgotten ancient text that the truth was finally revealed. The text, written in a language that had not been spoken in millennia, told the story of a group of powerful giants who had been hired by the Pharaoh to construct the pyramids as a testament to their greatness.

    The giants, with their superior strength and advanced knowledge of engineering, were able to complete the construction of the pyramids in a fraction of the time it would have taken with human labor. And so, the Great Pyramids of Giza were born, a testament to the power and might of the ancient giants.

    The researchers were stunned by the revelation, and they knew that they had made a discovery that would change the way the world understood the history of the pyramids. And so, they carefully translated the ancient text and shared their findings with the world

    You're full of wisdom brother Jimbo

    I'd like to point out that the INT total number is all over the place.

    BoxOfficeReport has it at $1.052B after a $26.4M WED, yet

     

    BOM has an est. total of $1.025B as of TUE and The Numbers has a total of only $1.02B as of TUE, after previously reporting $1.024B for something like 3-4 hours.

     

    The math doesn't add up in any scenario.

    France doesn’t report box office, it reports admissions. People have been using expected ER to translate that to box office but Disney reported a lower than expected number a few days ago (I believe about $5-6M lower than Charlie expected) so that’s the issue there.

    I know, Charlie has explained this to me too.

     

    I hate the number nevertheless:sparta:

    If? This is 100% locked. After this weekend A2 will be at around $1.7b, beating TFA ww is a done deal.

    I agree that it is possible, perhaps even likely, but to say that it is "100% locked" is false. In order to beat IW and TFA, the movie still has to get its grip on almost $600M. That is not an easy task for any movie during and after its fourth week since the release.

    @IronJimbo if A:TWOW will in the end outgross A:IW worldwide (not yet saying that it will, I still have some doubts on $2B and beyond), know that imo it's completely deserved.

     

    A:TWOW captured all that I want to see in a big, event-like blockbuster. A movie with a big budget well-spent on cutting edge action scenes, world building and heart, with a real message for everyone - things that the post-A:EG MCU is lacking A LOT, and because of that phases 5 and 6 will sadly continue to spiral down without a huge course correction.

     

    James Cameron on the other hand truly did it again.

    I'll say that for now A3 is my most anticipated movie (or perhaps the second most anticipated movie, after Oppenheimer).

    As of SUN, Avatar: The Way of Water has reached 21M RON ($4.53M) in Romania, on its way to becoming at least the second highest grossing movie of all time (behind only Avatar 1).

     

    On its 3rd week in Romania, the movie has grossed $2.03M (+78% vs week 2. It made $1.14M during its 2nd week here).

     

    This week should also see a pretty decent hold, since schools are still closed.

    Its almost hit 1bil International off a 181mil weekend (it will hit 1bil international with Mondays take).

    To miss 1.4bil International would mean pretty terrible legs to be honest.

    1.6bil International is probably the floor.

     

    EDIT. Its International take is 961mil as of Sunday, not 803mil.

     

    EDIT. 2. Oh you're not including China's gross for some reason. I dont see what getting to 1.4bil wihtout China has to do with anything. Does China not count or something?

    Please go back to your initial response. I've said that $1.4B is locked thanks to China. You've responded with 'you mean regardless of China' -> that means believing that this movie can get to $1.4B without China.

    I think you mean 'regardless' of China right?. If China wasnt covid ravaged we would be looking at 1.8-1.9bil International take.

     

    As for domestic, A2 will be around the 500mil range off a 30-40mil 4th weekend. The legs would have to be awful to miss 600mil.

    No, I mean 'thanks' to China. The OS-C gross as of Sunday is $803M and the Holiday Season is over. This movie's chances of getting to $1.4B OS-C are minimal.

    It seems you really want to downplay the results for some reason.

    Downplaying the result? As in a WW total under $2B would be something disappointing? Any movie that makes this kind of money is a success story, and your deduction based on what I've said is illogical.

    Yep. There’s a bunch of people inhere that desperately wants to go back to 10 days ago when ~$1.7B seemed the final number. The reason? Unknown.

    I'd say there's a bigger bunch of people in here that desperately want to go back to 20+ days ago when numbers like $3B and even $4B were thrown around. There's nothing to suggest that this movie will go above $650M DOM, and there are comps to suggest that $600M DOM are not locked yet.

     

    My prediction was and remained $2B WW.
