  1. Barbie vs Top Films

     

    Updated.

    As already noted, Barbie has put up the 4th highest 4th weekend behind the 2 Avatar films and Top Gun Maverick from last year.  This is after putting up the highest 3rd weekend however so is a small drop off. It should be noted Barbie is the 3rd fastest to 70m in Australia only behind Star Wars TFA and AEG which were both closer to 80m at this point but falling away much faster.  Sadly this was Barbies biggest weekend drop to date (40%).  From here on out the trajectory takes anywhere between 80m and 95m with 80m being average 50% drops from here on out and 95m being average 25% drops from here on out.  I still think Barbie can leg it out to 90m from here but it's going to be a close call if the drops continue above 35%.

  2. Showdown Barbie vs Avatar etc

     

    Barbie is the 3rd fastest film to 60m as it continues to put up the highest weekends (Top 2nd, 3rd so far).  Continuing to play as a mostly weekend film (probably due to school being in)  it's well on it's way to a 85m+ finish here (for reference that is like it earning 850m Stateside).    Currently it trails only SWTFA and AEG at the same points in their runs and those films had Christmas holidays to support their runs to this point.    I do suspect that Barbie may still fall short of 90m as while it leads Avatar TWOW, TWOW is continuing to catch Barbie thanks to it's weekly total (even though weekends are stronger to Barbie) and that film only made it to 93m.  Still an amazing run whichever way you look at it and unexpected.

    3. Top Films Showdown

       

      I've removed No Way Home as it's now been surpassed by Avatar TWOW.  Avatar TWOW will surpasse AEG sometime over the weekend (probably already has by this post) moving it up to 4th all time only behind TGM, SW: TFA and Avatar itself.  Avatar TWOW continues to lead TGM by around 9m and while it lost a little ground over the past weekend is still in a good place to pass TGM before the end of it's run (93m).  TWOW is catching up with the run total of TFA at a very fast rate as that film had fallen off a cliff by this point.  I'm thinking that the 94m total is well within reach now.  The real question is, can TWOW make it to 100m. Avatar had reached 92m after the coming weekend, while TWOW will probably be between 85m and 87m after the weekend is done.  Which means TWOW isn't going to reach the same heights of it's predeccessor. 115m is out of the question (actually don't forget Avatar only reached 114.6m when it first exited the top 20 and received a rerelease in August of 2010 where it bumped it up over the 115m mark - this is considered part of the original run as Avatar never left theatres during that time.)  (*** I'm also ignoring the > 3.2m or so Avatar has made in re-releases since then - especially in Sept/Oct of last year)

       

      My projection is for exactly 100m at the moment.  but I have a +/- 5m on that final right hence the range below.

      If Thursday was $2M weekend should easily be over Avatar 4th weekend then right? 100M is happening. 

      I wouldn't say easily.  8.3m is still up there but a 2m Thursday normally shoukd to a 8.5m-9.5m weekend. Yet another crazy hold if true. Which barring a crazy collapse locks 100m 🤷‍♂️ and frankly keeps A2 on the path to surpasse the what was thought impossible. Remember no film has come within 20m of avatar as yet.

      does anyone know which movie holds the record for highest 3rd week in Aus ?

       

      Avatar TWOW - 17.6m

      Avatar - 16.1m

      Star Wars TFA - 14m

       

      Not sure if there is anything in between but 

      Top Gun Maverick - 12.8m

      Spiderman NWH - 9.6m

       

      There just isn't anything else that grossed high enough to figure in the 3rd week highest grosses.

    6. and for shits and giggles here is a comparison against Rogue One :)  Given Rogue Ones total is already in the rear view mirror for Avatar TWOW.

    7. Top Films in AUD Comparison

      Avatar TWOW continues perform above all it's competitors.  Weekend and weekly totals since boxing day have continued to perform above the original Avatar run.  Avatar TWOW now leads Avatar by 4m at the same point (end of the 3rd week) which is an increase of 1m since sunday.  In more recent comperisons, Avatar TWOW is just shy of the running total of Spiderman NWH after starting some 10m behind after its first weekend (EDIT - thanks lab i had copied the total down before fixed with NWH over 61m).  The latest 3rd week, weekdays were nearly double what NWH made.  NWH of course went on to make nearly 82m in the same timeframe in 2021/2022.  hence i've lifted the basement for Avatar TWOW to 80m now.  Lastly, Avatar TWOW is now nearly 10m in front of Top Gun Maverick which had some magnificent legs through the middle of the year.  However the weekly and weekend totals for week 3 easily outperfermed maverick.  Hence i've made it a wide range - 80m to 110m right now.  I think a trajectory around 95m seems good for now but there are lots of indicators that this could go higher and even threaten OG Avatar's total (in AUD)

    8. ok so i've done some analysis of by comparing against Rogue One.

       

      Rogue 1 has already dropped off the pace.  

       

      Rogue One 

      WE 1 - 14.8m / 14.8m

      WE 2 - 4.5m (-69.5%) / 24.9m

      WE 3 - 5.9m (+30.8%) / 37.6m

      TOTAL = 51.5m

       

      Now in comparison Avatar TWOW

      WE 1 - 14.7m / 16.6m

      WE 2 - 7.2m / 30.8m

      WE 3 - 10.6m / 51.4m

       

      Reason for comparing here is because Rogue One was the last big film to open with Christmas and NYD both falling on the exact same time as Avatar TWOW's run.  (Xmas = 11th Day of run in both cases)

       

      For some simple comparisons, I used Rogue One's run as a comparison :

       

      starting with a 10m 3rd weekend.

      - using Rogue Ones weekend drops -> Avatar TWOW reaches 76m

      - Taking into account Avatar continues to outperform Rogue One drops / increases by approx 15% (which is what it has done each of the first 2 weeks (excluding week 1).) I reach around 95m - 100m.  

       

      This weekend will be telling against rogue One, Rogue dropped 49% on it's 4th weekend.  a drop sub 40% puts Avatar TWOW on track for a total > 90m and possibly higher.

    9. apologies everyone, i misread - the numbers i posted before were totals (full week including boxing day) not weekend numbers. :(

       

      Looks like Avatar TWOW did manage a 10m 3rd weekend

       

      all in AUD

      1 (1) Avatar: The Way of Water - 10.6m (+48%) / 51.4m

      2 (-) Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - 2.2m / 5.1m

      3 (-) Lyl, Lyle Crocodile - 1.6m / 3.7m

      4 (-) Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody - 1.2m / 2.2m

      5 (-) The Banshees of Inisherin - 659k / 1.6m

      6 (-) A Man Called Otto - 479k / 479k

      7 (3) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 238k (-7%) / 29.1m

      8 (-) The Lost King - 215k / 571k

      9 (-) Triangle of Sadness - 203k / 617k

      10 (-) Blueback - 171k / 288k

       

      Updated from the Numbers.

       

      Interesting that only 2 films survived from last weekend (A2 & BP2)

       

      After posting one the weakest 2nd weekends among the top 5 films of all time in Australia, Avatar The Way of Water appears to have posted the biggest 3rd weekend ever! (first film to top 10m on it's third weekend).  A2 is now 3m in front of Avatar at the same point its run with a stronger 3rd weekend by 1m.  only time will tell whether Avatar TWOT can hold the same trajectory as Avatar.  at this point, 70m is a lock, and i'm beginning to feel like 80m is a lock with this 3rd weekend.  the 4th weekend will give us a clue to whether 100m is on the cards here in australia for only the 2nd time ever!

    10. sorry it's a bit big - might cut out a few but thought i'd include all the films that have made that high ......  it will be interesting whether the weekend will see bump like avatar did (then all bets are off where it lands) or a small fall in line with Star Wars / Spiderman which probably means Avatar will land closer 75m.
