I don't think so.
Overall expectations was 66-68M, it should still get close or match 66M.
The only difference is that SAT drop was slightly bigger than expected (NYD celebrations + the games + long running time as the reasons) and SUN jump should be higher as well to compensate.
But the weekend itself it'll still match the expectations imo.
Overall general expectations few days ago was 50-55, mainly the fans claimed 60+.

Avatar is clearly going for 3rd weekend gain! The momentum is building and I am giving a wishful though of $70m 3 days. $1bn headline is helping!
I can see that the legs are slowing kicking in. WOM is great, and the voice of haters, naysayers and doubters are becoming more and more quieter.

Went for my 3rd view. Cinema was still totally packed. Our cinema uses the CINITY technology

Jake was a great dad. Under those circumstances he did his best, sure some decisions were not good, but overall he was great.

People think Jake's arc is just learned to protect his family. The real lesson - and Cameron's message to us - is that the world and creatures around us are part of our "family" as well and need to be protected. In a sense, Jake represents us humans here on Earth today. We've been running away and avoiding the problem for too long.
There is quote (its also in the trailer, so no spoiler).
"The way of water has no beginning and no end. The sea (water) is around you and in you (we are mainly made of water). The sea (water) is your home, before your birth (amniotic fluid) and after your death (groundwater)"
Water is the most important substance in the universe regarding life. Without water their is no life. When astrophysicist search for extraterristrial life on exoplanets in the habitable zone, they are looking primary for water. Some organisms called extremophiles can life in most extrem conditions, no sunlight, no oxygen, extreme heat, extreme cold and so. But even those organisms cant exist without water.
So i think the main message of this movie is "Water is life" protect water at all cost.

How the hell y'all even manage to get that much time, adding up to the time it takes to get to/from the theater I needed like 5 free hours for this one.
Cinema is 5min with car, bringing kids to bed, holidays, and voila, the rest of the evening is party time or avatar time 😁

Sorry but you remain incorrect, Meme copium and corridor digital really? Get Hugos desk or before and afters people truly in the VFX industry not amateurs. Avatar 2 is great but is delusion go say is above Thanos, heck even Davy Jones and that was on 2006-2007.
Talking about delusion. Sry mate, but unless you provide me with source that stats that thanos is above avatar 2 this is just fanboy blabla.

Strange, BOM says 485mio$

So $485mio$ seems fine regarding all the bad mouthing. Sure, not what the fans hoped but most importantly not what the haters hoped for.

Haven't seen the movie yet. But from the reactions i am reading, i am getting a feeling that Jim may have made a few crucial decisions script wise that have negatively affected the box office.
1. Splitting the plot of the initial second movie into 2 movies. Thus giving us 4 sequels, instead of 3. That may have resulted in Way of water not having as satisfying ending as possible.
2. Desire to put his personal interests as centerpieces of the movie. One being family dynamics and kids, the other being the underwater setting. While neither is inherently bad, i am getting a feeling too much of the film is dedicated to those, without actually pushing the plot forward. Possibly to the point where the average audience might prefer the movie to have 20-30 minutes less worth of those scenes.
3. Too much focus on Navi. Or not enough focus on humans. That might result in plot not feeling epic enough, if the audience is always watching the same characters. Water setting may also be contributing to that, as water offers inherently fewer details, compared to jungle and especially floating mountains, for epic vistas.
Anyway, as i said, havent yet seen the movie so ill be interested in seeing just how far i'll be from actual issues and potential issues of the movie.
It would be sad if part 2 ends up being the weakest of all avatar movies. Especially if it ends up hurting the 3rd movie and even possibly causing 4th and 5th one being cancelled.
1. The ending was perfect
2. ? These are topics who affect nearly everyone.
3. Not really, the humans play also a crucial roll.
Most of the people say its better than the first one, storywise and visually their is no doubt. The first one has the advantage of being something new and never seen before.
Watch the movie for yourself and dont listen to others.

Had my second viewing yesterday. It was more intense than the first time, cuz i could fully concentrate on the movie. First time i was just in awe and was diverted by the impressions. And oh boy those emotional scenes still hit hard, but this time i could watch the reactions of the others, and nearly everyone had tears in their eyes.

I don't there is anything particularly wrong with him, I think he does the job. For me he's like what Keanu Reeves was to The Matrix
I cant imagine someone als for the roll of jake sully. He is perfect for that roll.

Anyone else noticed this? Very nice detail. CAUTION HEAVY SPOILERS
The birth of neteyam at the beginning ( nearly 2min after start) and the connection with the spirit tree (jake sully and neytiri) after his funeral (nearly 2mins before end, without credits).
