I don’t think TWOW will end up beating TGM, but I’m sure as heck hoping it does

In fact, I would loooooooove for it to beat TFA just so Avatar holds #1 and #2 on the all-time chart

More than NWH last year.

Disappointing for Puss in Boots, making about half what Sing 2 was doing last year.

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.

Well if we use Rogue One as a comp like the DOM market, then we’re in for a sizeable 30% bump. Wishful thinking though. That was also after a 70% 2nd WE drop. 
 

Nothing else I can compare to with what I have access to.

 

I’m thinking it’ll be relatively flat, around 6.5-7m.

Why is A2 performing really well (could be highest grosser) in NZ and "just" good in Australia (maybe not in top 5 highest grosser) although they are somewhat "similar" markets ?

A lot of it was filmed and produced in NZ. Many actors in it are from NZ. Things like that.

Pretty much this plus the new tribe in The Way of Water takes heavy inspiration from indigenous culture with Moko (face tattoos) and naming drawing heavily from Maori traditions and language whilst involving Maori actors. 

 

If you want to compare over indexing probably have to look at the LotR trilogy (for a locally filmed big name Hollywood series) and Moana (also heavily related to Maori and other Polynesian culture) vs. Straya and other markets to get a sense of what Way of Water and the other 3 sequels might perform in NZ.

Any updates on how TWOW is tracking here for its third weekend?

That’s what the 34.3m USD total converts to.

 

Did we actually just see a 9 or 10m 3rd weekend!?

[WorkingonaName]

This would have beat Top Gun if we had IMAX.

[JJ-8]

puss in boots - 5.1m

lyle Lyle croc - 3.7m

Whitney Houston - 2.2m
