I hope this doesn't prevent it from passing IW for #7 DOM

Is there some kind of record for a super wide release movie (3,000+ theaters) making more money in weekends 2-4 than it made its opening weekend? Because Puss has done that and I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

Might be kinda early but I feel like the original Black Panther is emerging as a pretty decent comp for TWOW from here on out, MLK weekend notwithstanding.

I also found my first viewing in IMAX pretty overwhelming because of the HFR. Saw it for a second time in 2D at a constant 24fps and that helped me. Then seeing it a third time in Dolby 3D with HFR really brought it all together for me. I've liked it more every time I've seen it.

It's incredible how much better the 3D is in TWOW. I was getting a headache after watching two 3D trailers (Mario, Ant Man) and had to close my eyes. Then I spent 3 hours watching TWOW with no issues whatsoever.

It's kind of an unfair comparison for me to make because the first 9 days for A2 includes Christmas eve, and for A1 the last two days of the first 18 were not holidays. The snowstorm was obviously also a factor keeping those first 9 days down. I just found it insane that any modern movie with an opening weekend that big could actually equal itself over any later time interval.

TWOW made $232M domestic in its first 9 days of release. If you take out the Thursday previews, it made $215M in its first 9 full days. It has now also made $215M over the following 9 days (days 10-18)

There is a very real and very entertaining possibility of ATWOW overtaking Titanic - either domestic or worldwide - but by a slim enough margin that Titanic leapfrogs it upon its re-release next month. Cameron taking #3 worldwide from himself twice in a matter of weeks would be incredible.

Roughly how many admits are we looking at for A2 in India?

After seeing HFR in action for both the Avatar re-release and TWOW, I'm going to specifically avoid seeing Titanic in HFR. I don't think the movie calls for that whatsoever. I'm still gonna see it though, just in 2D. I love that movie.

I'm not basing it on my friend group at all. RT Verified Audience, Letterboxd, IMDb. Cinemascore, etc. are all higher for TGM. I wish they weren't, but they are. If it turns out that TWOW has 300m+ domestic left in the tank after January 3rd I will *personally* buy you a beer, and I will be very happy to do so.

Oh, if that happens then I will absolutely chalk it up to WOM. But really, if A2 beats Maverick's domestic I'll be too happy to care that I was wrong, and I'll chalk it up to the will of Eywa.

Yes, and TGM had insane WOM on the level of the first Avatar. I *love* TWOW but its overall audience reception, while strong, is not as universally positive as Maverick was and there's no way to spin that. My path to success going into the film's release was a 2x OW relative to A1 with 1/2 the legs (5x) We're gonna end up with 1.75x A1's OW and probably legs in the 4.25x-4.5x range. Really not bad! I'd love to be wrong and have the thing shoot past 700m, but I can't see it. Hell, it's taking me a lot to even see 600m, though I could see it based on NWH's January.
