@Porthos can I kindly ask for your analysis here? I can't find a reliable source for it and you're probably the most knowledgeable on the forum regarding this matter.

Outside of my wheelhouse, sorry.  @Potiki is probably better regarding something like this.  Obviously good no matter how its sliced, but I would be curious to know how physical sales went for it, since that historically was the money maker before VOD came into the picture.

Avatar’s global interest is undeniable. I really hope parts 3 and 4 deliver to set up part five as the first $4B worldwide film.

hope the delay allows them to sneak in a special edition, an imax somewhat close to me opened back in april

Even though I knew it was gonna do well on digital, it's actually quite incredible how well it has done. Avatar truly seems unstoppable.

[Mr Roark]

Sweet!

Rooting for A3 to at least crush $2.5B!

seems a bit doubtful when it's free on disney+

 

unless it's somehow counting disney+ subscribtions into its gross count.

Wonder if he took the Iger comment about it being on-track to be their biggest electronic home video release ever (which maybe doesn't factor in revenue from physical releases?) and came up with a speculative number for it.

$1.2b in home video numbers is not feasible for any movie

 I found some discussions on reddit from a year or two ago (4k blu ray subreddit) accusing this guy of basically making up stuff in the past and harassing people for calling him out on it.

it's probably bogus, the part about being on track to be their biggest digital release was said by Iger though so probably true.

Bare minimum, A2 did become biggest Disney's biggest digital release. That is confirmed by Disney itself.

Fraction of what physical sales used to be at their peak, deadline projected $350m for a2 lifetime from home video + tv/streaming rights, a1 did over 400m in DVD sales domestically alone

2022 "home entertainment spending" - 36.5M (up from 32M in 2021). However NON-SVOD HE revenue = 6.3M up from 2.8M

2014 - 17.8M in HE spending of which 4M was (non bundled with other services) SVOD

Funny to see this thread get bumped right as the movie is being rereleased into theaters in my country with a discount ticket price. Unfortunately there's no 3D and it's in the smaller screens, so I'm passing on it.
