“There’s rainforest, there’s arctic, there’s desert, there’s oceans, all those different biomes and all the creatures and cultures. Not only did we have to do creature design, but we had to do cultural design and imagining what these different Na’vi adaptations to these different biomes might look like. Desert people, the Windtraders that travel around, that sort of thing.”

It’s nice that Pandora isn’t like Star Wars, where there’s only a single biome for each planet, but it’s still weird if all the Na’vi speak the same language.

When will this coming on Disney+ or other home media? I hope the movie can get at least 90 days window. 

Curious about this, too, if anyone knows. I saw the first hour of this on a Disney cruise, but didn't stay for the rest. I would like to eventually see it from home, though.

Cameron should make it 4K UHD exclusive.

I think pushing that it’s your last chance to see it the way it’s intended to be seen is their best bet. Shorter version would be quite strange and likely not possible, and yeah in this case an extended edition might turn most people off. 

 

Extended edition will take time to render VFX. I would prefer we save the time for VFX artist to work on A3, rather than working on a A2 extended scenes. Shorter version is strange but worth trying.

No, we need a 4 hour special edition!

Unlikely theater has a desire to play this when March will be full of new releases.

11 Weeks now in the books, still an outside chance it could hit $680 million Domestic assuming an average drawdown of 30% per week, optimistic I know.

I don't think it's an outside chance. It's at least 50:50.

[Mr Roark]

TFA made $20M after President’s Day wknd.

A2 is currently ~15% ahead of TFA from President’s Day til yesterday.

This weekend looking strong too.

A2 had $659M after President’s Day wknd.
I’d say $680M are happening.

Unless it suffers some sudden and severe screen drops another $13m off a $6m+weekend seems likely for this beast.

We will have it... :D--And with a re-release might Just get Part 2 into the 700M DOmestic Club :)- Still with 2.3B+ WW.... Avatar 2 shows even in pandemic times... Its still  another Cameron Powerhouse that is the top Law Dog of them all

IIRC Avatar's 9.73 domestic multiplier (from opening weekend) was the best ever for any $30m+ opener. I hadn't checked to see whether that record still stands, but skimming through BOM's OW rankings, looks like it does (I didn't double-check so someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, with $36.2m OW & $351.7m post-OW, came extremely close and was constrained by opening on a Wednesday. 

 

@MikeQhas already posted a list showing Avatar: The Way of Water ranks 3rd all-time among $70+m openers. Once it exceeds 5.02, it will pass The Phantom Menace (though it also opened on a Wednesday) and rank 4th among $50+m openers. Astonishing given it is way harder to have a 5x multiplier now, especially for a $134m opener even in December.

Wow another incredible milestone that may never be beat Brother Danzier. Thanks for that post.  77+M OW and nearly a 10x Multiplier. Thats just the power of this franchise and What JC brings out of fans from old to new generations like no one else can :(domestically and especially internationally)  3 times in a row now!!

 

To Have the Success of Avatar Movies.... " YOU HAVE TO RIDE!!!!""

 

YEEEEHAWW!!!

 

680M ---2.35B-2.4B WW

And with Titanic (21x for its original release) I think Cameron has the best multiplier for any $12+m opener. E.T. ($11.8m OW) had a 30x multiplier but its theater count increased 60% after opening weekend and the home video market was only in its infancy, so Titanic's multiplier is more impressive and the greatest of all time imo.

ET was uber impressive considering budget was just 10.5 million and main cast were all kids. Titanic had by far the biggest budget at that time and is still a technical marvel. 

 

Titanic is still greatest movie success of all time WW. It more than doubled the previous biggest OS gross(jurassic park)

[eridani]

I was using 25% weekly drop offs and got a 682 total. But is 25% unrealistic in the long run?

Beating IW i think is enough for a movie that almost opened half of this.

Of course it is. Titanic opened more than double than ET and even though made a 20 x, no movie has a close multipler with this kind of opening. 15 weeks number 1, 9th weekend more than first, more than 100 with 1M+, this records are for eternity..

If it drops 25% from here on it is going to make more than 685 in the end. Even with considerably worse drops it will pass IW.

Being in the run for Oscar give theater more reason to retain its showtime until the ceremony night. Also, disney didn't have anything in release in March and April. Keeping Avatar run is good for them.

28.03 will be the digital home release date.
