Ok, it's a really tough call, as the big openers normally open Boxing Day here ... Avatar is the best comparison for opening time at least. My predictions are all in AUD: This is my fan boy prediction ~ OD = 9m AUD (Record opening day) OW = 27m OW 2nd weekend = 19m Final Total = 102m more realistic version now:- OD = 7.5m (still record OD) OW = 21m OW (record also) 2nd Weekend = 12m Final Total = 75m Given presales and all.... the worst i'm seeing is: OD = 6.5m (i would be shocked if this happens) OW = 16m 2nd Weekend = 10m Final Total = 60m

We are getting ready to kick things off... so without much further ado..... (less than 3 days to kick off) I've created 2 threads in the Fantasy Box Office Sub Forum: January 2016 Investments & Monthly Thread FBO 2016 - Bank Accounts & Total Investments Made

I'd say there is a pretty high chance that it will remain in the top 10 by it's 30th birthday. I won't say hold 9th as I'm sure star wars will have something to say about that. Titanic for that matter continues to amaze that it's still the 2nd biggest film in Australia even with Inflation. Then again, I just don't see anything touching Avatar in the near future. I mean, the reality check here is, even with inflation we are still yet to match or beat titanic (accept for avatar). Been plenty of contenders but none have been able to leg it past 57m (titanic's original run). So I don't see Avatar being passed in along time unless we get another film that simply catches alight.

yeah i'm having suspicions on that one also.... I'm also wondering if "Families" which is still it's current working title will be ready in time also...

Jesus thats expensive. They scaring away customers with that. Ah. U think that's bad. In Australia the average is over 12. Tbh the major chains charge closer 20 to see a film here. With the worst cost wise (but the best experience outside of iMax or gold class) is vmax at 22 (23 if 3d). It's only recently it's begun to look better in Usd thanks to the slide in our exchange rate. (FYI - gold class is 40 and since we don't even have an iMax in brisbane.... ) Yes some chains are cheaper but so is the experience in many cases.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
