They're lowballing. Any multi compared to NWH or Aquaman takes it *only* there but should be higher.

Data says "No." 

 

If it follow's gross of NWH's day by day now - it will reach 950m~ It's Weekdays were stronger this week but in weekend it fell a lot. Though, the above numbers are still only estimates. So, Wait for Actuals - if Actuals remain same - MXN 970-1000 would be best bet.

 

Till 2nd Jan, NWH was 1353m & Avatar would be roughly 750m. Add rest of NWH's total to it - we reach  (750m+233.5m) = 990m LC ~ $50m

Deadline reports that A2's 3rd weekend went up 1% compared to 2nd one, similar to Brazil.

 Disney is overestimating either Sat or Sun, their numbers had this weekend up 1% from last. Hope it can have a strong Monday.

Canacine's

1st Weekend Cume-  266.2  //  269.9m

After 2nd Weekend, Weekly Cume -  233.4m  //  542.9m

After 3rd Weekend, Weekly Cume - 216.7m  //  718.6m

 

269.9 + 233.4 + 216.7 = 720m not even equal to 718.6m

 

Anyway, Something to note there - Avatar 2 has crossed Wakanda Forever in gross even though It's behind it by a million Visitors. It's not like they were released few year or even months apart, they are running simultaneously and that's huge ATP gap there. It's something similar to what we saw with NWH, Coco or EG but they were released years apart.

In lc, ATP for Avatar 2 is 14% higher than Wakanda Forever. It is also 17.25% higher than the ATP in 2022, as per the preliminary yearly report.
