So...it has finally happened. After 22 years of a long record-streak, a non-James Cameron movie eventually outgrossed a legendary & historical movie directed by the legend himself, in worldwide grosses.

 

Hope James doesn’t take it negatively that Titanic was finally outgrossed by a blockbuster directed by someone else.

He isn't known to be negative.
He is a quite humble individual.....

Most of the time, especially when it only just passes a milestone with the estimate (Titanic being the milestone here). Endgame was estimated at 350 opening ended up being 357, Infinity War at 250, actuals at 257 and Avengers at 200, actuals at 207.

Yes. Last weekend it was 7 million lower than the actual.

So Endgame is definitely beating Avatar Internationally and WW. Nice

Avengers has definitely made a lot of money but that weekend number is definitely on a disappointing side. I didn't think it would be this front-loaded

James Cameron is many things, humble is not one of them. Not that he should be - he is the God of the box office.

Curious to see how The Hustle fares next weekend. On paper it should at least be opening to similar numbers as Snatched two years ago on Mother's Day weekend but the marketing does feel really quiet despite the presence of Hathaway and Wilson (who enjoyed a mid-level performer on her own earlier this year).

Snatched had a mother/daughter relationship.  This one is just a raunchy comedy starring women.

You didn't think the finale of a two-part film, the ending to a huge series, which opened to 350M, would be front loaded ?

22 years ago before the release, Titanic had nothing, no 11 years of build up or nostalgic feeling, no fan base from any previous source material. 

What it got was all the negative press due to its historical budget and risk-taking production set.    

 

Against  all doubt and odd, titanic went on to become to biggest commercial success in modern cinematic history plus another record breaking 11 oscar win . No one can pull off such a standalone success like Titanic.

 

Thanks to its unprecedented word of mouth, movie itself aged so well despite the backlash from all the emotionless rube cyborg. 

 

Titanic will be remembered as the better film than EG and avatar. Period.

Yes, underestimating Sundays is their thing.

First rate egomaniac is more apt. 🤔🤔🤔

So, here, dom 145 and ww 2188, we can expect 145 + 7 or 2188 + 7 when the actual is revealed?

$145,804,000

Is it common for the sunday gross to be less than saturday or is Disney just low-balling?

[Avatree]

if I made original films that crushed every brand and franchise out there, I wouldn't be humble about it.
