Avatar was a widely enjoyed movie that used it's new format to its advantage. It's blue ray sales proved that it wasn't just the 3D that brought in the crowds, Pandora itself was the biggest selling point Imo. That's no more a gimmick than being a sequel to a hugely successful franchise fueled by nostalgia. If it tops avatar worldwide then we can talk but as of now you've only claimed passing 1b in the US is more impressive even if it fails to reach Avatars worldwide tally, I'm disagreeing with that.

 

2 can play this game

No England, no America full stop

It was called America before england. w/o  england, youre right, it would be different. It wouldn't have the scar of a slave history.

If it does end up opening MD weekend, you're probably right.

 

I totally forgot it was opening 5/26/17. I should have said a year and a half. 

 

This is awesome, kind of like having a nightmare that Christmas is still six months away then waking up and remembering it's September.

They were already going to have to move either Star Wars or Guardians. You can't just open two Benicio del Toro movies in the same month like that

Ummm funny. For me Avatar had a bad story, a weak villain, and forgettable characters. Everyone has a different opinion 

 

I think one of the most interesting things about the Avatar run is how little it actually entered the cultural lexicon.  Basically every other all time monster hit (Jaws, Star Wars, ET, Titanic, etc.) has had lasting impact but Avatar just isn't a movie that gets talked about outside of its box office run and it really didn't develop a particularly fervorous fanbase.

Friday was off at times but last three days he's been crushing it. His adjustments have been incredible, guy should work for the studios or media. Could make some nice coin I bet.

 

James Earl Jones in Coming to America: WORK???!!!!  RTH is a box office god, he does not need to work.

A $40m Monday, are you kidding me!? This is beyond stunning. There will be stories about what happened. It's true - all of it.

It's pretty simple - ignore all of them

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

I remember when the first Spider-Man broke the 40m in one day barrier. Hell, I remember when Batman broke the 40m in one weekend barrier.

 

 

Damn, I'm old.

The franchise is honestly a mess right now for how valuable it should be & where it's been.

Actuals coming...

Spider-Man really fell down in the ditch from the mid-2000's movie popularity. He still destroys all competitors in merchandise though.
