The trailer confirm this round the movie will go epic.

Shazam would have almost zero access to PLF if the movie sticks to the December spot.

Aquaman pushed back to Dec this year and Shazam took the spot but flee after all. After somewhat meh OW, people start talking about Shazam shouldn't have move since A2 isn't as big as people want. But now turns out A2 is becoming bigger and bigger now.

Speaking of Shazam, do people still think shouldn't have flee from Avatar 2?

It is very funny people claim A2 has no cultural impact but expect the movie to leg out like a typical sequel.

The Saturday jump prove 3 hours run time pushed the business to weekend more than usual, just like Batman also jumped higher than usual considering the movie isn't really a family friendly content. Can't wait to see how A2 would do next weekend cause there are 2 "Saturday".

European is a big powerhouse for A2. Not gonna be surprised if this is the only franchise that will thrive in the continent decade ahead.

PIB2 is showing more and more interesting leg. Can the movie get another $10m 3 days and $13m 4 days on MLK weekend?

Among regular films in release, 20th Century Studios/Lightstorm/Disney’s Avatar: The Way of Water lead Thursday with $6.7M at 4,202 theaters, -10% from Wednesday with a running total of $471.7M. The sequel made $113.5M for the week. Uni/DreamWorks Animation’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish at 4,121 sites did $2M yesterday, -11% from Wednesday for a $30M second week and running total of $74.6M. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at 2,310 ends its eighth week with an estimated $8.8M, a $490K Thursday and a running total of $441.9M. Tri-Star/Compelling Pictures/Black Label Media’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody at 3,625 saw a second Thursday of $444K, a second week of $6.7M and a running total of $17.3M.

It is easier to catch a 1 hour 40min movie than a 3 hours on Thursday night if one is interested in both.

If Avatar stay largely flat from Wednesday, that is a big leg sign especially when M3GAN is coming out as preview night. And M3GAN is PG-13 too, not like your typical R-rated.

Omg, again back to below $600m final total.

We should start seeing headline spreading across declaring Avatar 2 beating TGM?

I am emotionally confused reading through the thread as I am not sure if I should cheer up or meltdown.

I know is hard to beat Endgame but at least Avatar 2 can try to challenge EG's IMAX 2nd place and that allow both A1 and A2 to take the IMAX record side-by-side.

Avatar made $397m after 3rd weekend, if A2 follows suit that would give rise to $822m!! I can only hope for everything $718m above.

$67,4m / $88.8m are very close to my wishful thought! Great to see an weekend increase! I mean , who is JC if he can't deliver a single weekend increase across the run?

Actually the 3D% are kind of lower than what I expected. I thought this could come near to 70% since this could be the least headache inducing 3D movies since....anything else?

There are large part of school still out on Tuesday and Tuesday can be quite beneficiary to A2. I don't think anything above 10m is impossible.

61% of the OW was from 3D. No more report on 3D share since OW.

Ya, it was so good until 3 different posters posted this movie Monday's gross.

I think SK is another one, sub-50% drop from last week, when last week was basically flat from OW
