Avatar: The Way of Water | 16 DEC 2022 | Don't worry guys, critics like it

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

Whereas A1 had great OS tailwinds, A2 will have terrible headwinds. The pound could be down to parity with the dollar and the euro could be 0.9-0.85x USD by then. Many other markets are down 20-40% in the last 2 years.
 

With that being said though, if A2 has a full release schedule (not including Russia) it should still do $2B+ WW. Id put the “disappointment” line at TLK 2019.

Watch it do that much Domestically.

I had no idea that Tsu’tey was played by the actor who plays Mothers Milk on The Boys!

[Napoleon]

I don't know why people are making predictions for this as if it was an ordinary movie sequel. It is first and foremost a James Cameron film.

I don't know why some people think this isn't possible. The number was trotted re: Endgame and it wasn't a crazy thought then either. TFA came very close to 1B which means it's a matter of time that something will cross that treshold. Not if but when. So stay tuned. Whteher it's going to be Way of the Water or Kang Dinasty/Secret Wars or something out of the left field, it's going to happen. Inflation will make sure of it.

Whale scene. Also, yeah, I'm not sure what that critic was talking about re object based frame rate changes. 

That critic was responding to A2 footage and I think there just speculating on their part about it being object based. No one officially has said anything about the HFR beyond it being variable as far as I know.

Will Weaver and Winslet appear as themselves at all, or only blue people? Im assuming the latter..

Sigourney will appear as Grace in a flashback sequence and plays a new character "Kiri". Kate will play "Ronal".

Since Ronal's daughter Tsireya is "Neytiri of the Seas" my guess is that she and Spider (Jake and Neytiri's adopted human son) will fall in love like Jake and Neytiri.

It wouldn't be a Cameron movie without a love story!

The reason it's tough is that it requires it to come extremely close to the admissions of the first, which is a big ask for a sequel to a breakout.

Ah OK. Thanks.

Not bad for a movie that had no cultural impact. 😉

I listened to My Heart Will Go On the night before watching Avatar and I realized the themes for both movies sound the similar lol.

 

Like 1;50-1:53 of this:

 

The first two notes of the main motif are literally the same as My Heart Will Go On and then it varies a little bit.

Yes not surprise. Some notes about RDA are very similar to Horner's previous work in Enemy at the Gates.

Folks here asked for ER adjusted grosses. Here you go.

Even though Admission tracking is best of the world when considering inflation and ER impact, but many asked about ER adjustment, so I thought of doing this.

 

For market having inflation and exchange rate moving on par, I have kept the original grosses like SEA, LATAM.

 

Thanks to Google Sheets, the forex adjustment will remain real-time.

Not sure i like how many people seem to be predicting $200mil+ ow for the sequel in the weekend thread. Its like poeple are setting this up to fail or something.

 

I'm certain this film will behave more like a orig film, rather than a mega hyped fanboy sequel, like a SW or Comic book film.

I fell a very solid $150mil opening weekend, but crazy good 5-6x legs, for around a $750mil - 900mil total.

 

Internationally it could be anything. I feel $1bil in China alone is possible, assuming nothing dodgy goes on.
