  1. maybe you though it was mediocre but it received mostly positive reviews, has an A cinemascore and made decent money
  2. Using your own algorithm which is tailored to your own preferences is one of the worst things you can do to get a general sense of what is going on online (and considering almost every time I see you show up in this thread it's to say something negative, I take it you're no big Avatar fan, so why should your very own algorithm favor this kind of content?) Avatar has a presence online, I see it come up randomly all the time and in places that are not tailored to my preferences For example, there is a subreddit called r/moviescirclejerk that makes jokes or memes about online movie culture 4 of the top 6 posts from last month are Avatar related https://www.reddit.com/r/moviescirclejerk/top/?t=month Linked some of them here (you'll like #2)
  3. The forecasts for each movie are kind of irrelevant, it's the DOM/OS distribution that is in question. And just looking at the content in each movie, I don't think it's that mysterious as to why one might perform stronger in the US relative to OS numbers.
  4. Americans have pride in their military, other countries do not (whether they are allies or not). If you want to talk about other countries such as Japan or the UK, other factors are at play there and that's not what I'm here to talk about. But it shouldn't take a genius to understand why an old fashioned pro-military/American movie featuring Tom Cruise might do better domestically relative to the rest of the world than a movie with an anti-imperialist message depicting the bad guys mainly as Americans
  5. one movie is stroking American pride the other is doing the opposite
  6. Admission numbers aren't reported for DOM, doesn't stop people from bringing them up and making their own estimates I think it's fair to mention Avatar was #1 for 41 straight days if you stick to the notion that a day is 24 hours
  7. Glad you came back, we've missed you. Just in time to celebrate Avatar 2 passing the 2 billion mark!
  8. Through Monday isn't 93M if you use: http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/eng/news/boxOffice_Daily.jsp?mode=BOXOFFICE_DAILY&startYMD=20230111&endYMD=20230116&searchFrom=Jan-11-2023&searchTo=Jan-16-2023&category=ALL&country=ALL It didn't make 4.5M in 2 weekdays that's for sure, not this late in the run Through Monday is now at $95,954,386 (it was adjusted from last time I checked)
  9. it's hard to imagine what could do it If you look at the past decades, you need either a franchise movie or a big budget production by a proven hit maker. Avatar, Titanic and Jurassic Park weren't really surprises in that sense. I think you have to go back almost half a century to see that kind of big surprise hit, and that would be Star Wars. And it was at a time when you could still wow audiences with just a bit of technical ingenuity and didn't necessarily need a massive budget. Another problem is we have yet to find the next Spielberg or Cameron. We have directors that can do big spectacle like Nolan or Villeneuve, but they don't have the same kind of pull with the GA. I believe it could happen, but still it's very unlikely that something will come out of left field and make 3 billion dollars
  10. yeah I know, through Monday is $96,366,022, still higher than the 93 reported it's an ER thing it seems
  11. that 93 from SK seems low? It's currently at $97,635,722M on http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/eng/news/boxOffice_Daily.jsp?mode=BOXOFFICE_DAILY
  12. This drop isn't surprising. MLK is not a holiday in Canada where it turns out Avatar is overperforming. Then Avatar is also weaker when the next day is a regular week day because the long running time is a tougher sell
