Curious How much will Avatar 3 doing?

Any chance for breaking record with ticket price increase?

 

Only if it features Peter Parker or Woody the Cowboy! 🙃 Never say never but it would be very hard to reach 1.5B even with the ticket price increase. A2's admissions will end up 40% higher than the original, but half of the all-time champion, TS4. I can't see ATP going over 100 lc unless there is a never-seen before technology implemented for A3, so another 1B+ lc total should be a win.

Will hope james cameron introduce the VR to the movie

Yeah we should a Jurassic World-type consistency when it comes to Avatar. They seem pretty similar to me in terms they're beloved just enough to not to lose audience and maintain interest.

They just threw IWDWS out there with barely any promo, in fact they announced the release date only 2 weeks ago.  A big shame.

Yeah, it was a pretty messy release. I still don't think a larger campaign would've made a difference; people know about Whitney's songs but not about her unlike Elvis or Freddie Mercury who are arguably much recognizable figures.

Wednesday welcomes a new BTS concert which should assure No. 1 this weekend with a $70M+ splash.

 

 

 

Well a great marketing campaign is what makes a big difference for any movie.  I don't remember one trip to Mexico (been there 5 times) where I didn't hear Whitney songs blasting in some store or club, while Elvis or Queen I don't remember hearing.  Anyways this release has been a big mess even in the USA where she is clearly a very recognizable figure which shows that it's all about how Sony handled promotion in many countries.  Thankfully it's doing well in some international markets especially the UK. I bet the people in Mexico who saw the movie randomly stumbled upon the words "Whitney Houston" when they were checking their local movie listings.

I've been thinking about this year's slate and I think MCU won't be the king this time either. Neither the Furious saga I'm afraid. Hopefully there's a breakout a la Coco/Avatar

MxTaquilla is claiming that Wakanda Forever reached 700M lc. How do you say "fudge" in Spanish?

Disney really squeezed it until the end. It had several locations still running it until past weekend

May be another weekend of Puss in Boots breaking Way of Water's previous weekend record. Former at $380M and latter at $1.04B.

 

Seems like o/u $1.1B for Avatar in the end. It should hold softly from now until Quantumania releases and takes a dive in screens. 

 

 

This coming weekend is a long weekend right? Should be another record-making weekend for both PIB2 and A2.

[Sophia Jane]

PIB2 performance in Mexico is really,really impressive
