Excluding US, feels like Japan, UK &Saudi Arabia.. and may be Taiwan will be the markets where Avatar won't be able to defeat Top Gun Maverick.

 

I don't think it will in Australia either. Would need to go over 3x its current total. Feels like $50-55M is the max for it.

From Deadline Hollywood

 

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has banked an estimated $855.4M globally through Sunday. The sophomore session added $168.6M at the international box office in 52 markets for a $601.7M running cume.

 

Also overseas, 20th Century Studios/Disney’s highly-anticipated sequel passed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Minions: The Rise of Gru to become the No. 3 biggest Hollywood grosser of 2022. It is also now the No. 5 studio title of the pandemic era and will soon top No Time to Die’s $613M.

 

The offshore drop from opening weekend was 42% (-38% when excluding China), and that’s with Christmas Eve falling on a Saturday and today being Christmas Day. Business on the 24th is generally quiet with cinemas in many markets closing early while the UK is traditionally closed on the 25th.

 

Some markets increased from last session, or had just single-digit dips, notably Israel (+22%), Hong Kong (-4%), France (-7%), Korea (-7%), Indonesia (-8%) and Ukraine (-9%). 

 

Midweeks last week were very strong, rolling up to 69% of the opening Friday/Saturday/Sunday session last weekend (excluding China). The sci-fi epic is expected to continue that trend this week with vacations in full swing and a lot of holiday distractions in the rear-view. 

China, the top market to date, dropped by 55% this weekend to add $25.9M for a local cume of $100.5M. The film had strong Saturday/Sunday play compared to Friday and ticketing site Maoyan has hiked its lifetime projection to RMB 1.11B ($160M). Still below the original movie’s (unadjusted) run back in 2010, but better than what we’ve been seeing given Covid concerns in the market. 

 

Korea, Avatar: The Way of Water’s No. 2 market, also had strong Saturday/Sunday play and has grossed $53M so far. France ($52.3M), India ($37M) and Germany ($35.7M) round out the Top 5.

In IMAX, the Na’vi scored the format’s 3rd highest 2nd weekend ever with $27.6M globally. The offshore cume is $62.8M for $97M global. Individual market highlights include China where the IMAX total is $25.8M for 26.2% of the overall total. In France and Korea, IMAX sales were up on opening weekend; in France Way of Water is the biggest IMAX title ever while it’s No. 2 in such markets as India, Thailand and Vietnam. In 10-12 days of release, a total 40 markets have already seen Way of Water enter the Top 10 IMAX chart.

3% down in admits, near identical in local currency, sounds about right

I mean that's almost no drop. Pretty amazing no? I thought everything was frontloaded these days, especially sequels

Definitely having quite the backloaded run in SK yes (and also a bizarre ridicolously presales heavy, shitty walkups kind of run)

Have you seen TGM grosses in Latin America ?

 

Avatar 2 in Latam is nothing more than solid so far, though is doing well considering the terrible release date
