Great Guys

China got extention

[Issac Newton]

Japan Box Office

 

¥3.1B ($23.5M) until Mon.

 

Disney's 1st ¥3B Film since re-opening of cinema.

 

No Drops% as Japan changed to 3-days WKend.

[JustLurking]

Definitely going to end on 4bish range, I don't see any way it can go for 5 considering this run will be largely dead when it loses IMAX (aka where most of its ticket sales are) in 3 weeks.

Avatar 2 cross €12m in Belgium in 4 weeks,score one of the best 4th weekend of all time with 4th weekend only 1.3% drop,It’s already 4th highest grossing film of all time

1 Titanic €18.9m

2 Avatar €15.1m

3 The Lion King 2019 €14m

4 Avatar:The Way of the Water €12m

5 The Lord of the Ring:ROTK €10.9m

With this great hold Avatar 2 may have a chance to overtake Titanic here,which the record is already hold for 25 years

Belgium is the really rare market that Titanic still hold the all-time box office record for now(Only 4 markets in the entire world that Titanic still hold the all-time B.O record:Germany,Greece,Switzerland and Belgium ),Seems this time Avatar 2 can challenge Titanic’s record is 3 of them,which means Greece probably the only market in the entire global that Titanic hold the record after Avatar 2’s attack…..

 

Where did you see the all time box office of Greece and Belgium?
I can´t find them anywhere..

Thanks for the info super interesting!!

what's the ATP in Poland for Avatar2 ?

Idk unfortunately.

 

[Simionski]

The Way of Water is about to become the biggest grosser in Bulgaria of all time so I just wanted to post some stats on this in case anyone is interested.

 

It just had the biggest 4th weekend in gross and second biggest in attendance (only the original is above it). It actually increased by 13% this weekend and even though this is mostly because last weekend was depressed due to New Year's holiday it's still pretty amazing given the total attendace the movie gets.

 

The original Avatar practically obliterated the previous record in gross since it doubled the previous holder - Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. In addition to this, with the exception of Titanic, it also doubled the next most attended movie which at that point in time was Troy.

 

After 2009 there was a surge in moviegoing so most of the movies in the stats below are from the last 10 years or so. However, since the pandemic the attendance as a whole dropped quite a lot and ticket prices spiked. The ATP for the original was 11.3BGN, for Avengers: Endgame it was 11.6 BGN while it's around 14 BGN for The Way of Water. At the same time, the most attended movie in the last 2 years is Minions 2 with 240k which The Way of Water has a chance to double in the end.

 

At the moment The Way of Water is tracking closely to the original and since there isn't much competition in the next month it should be able to get the gross record with a margin. If it follows the orginal's run from now it'll end up around 7.5M BGN (4.1M USD) which in theory is possible since we often have movies with quite leggy runs. This would also mean that it would get the attendace record as well with 535k or so.

 

However, a more reasonable prediction would be for it to land somewhere around 6.5M BGN (3.6M USD) and with attendance around 465k.

 

Anyway, it's certain that the gross record will fall by the end of this weekend or the next one at the latest. Everything that The Way of Water is currently doing is simply amazing. Despite the high ticket prices and changed moviegoing habits it has a chance to top the original's attendance which on its own was a monster here.

 

Here are some stats with top 10s in attendance and gross:

If you only got $1500 salary per month  you’ll think it’s nonsense for people who use money buy the box office data

If you got $1,000,000 income per month,then spend $500 is same feeling for spend $5

My friend is so rich,so buying the data is just like buying a coca cola for him

China got extention

That's amazing! Do we have a source?

Apparently with very limited showtimes so don't expect too much.

 

Somebody in the China thread posted it but no source.

[Borobudur]

China extension is exciting but do remember the number of showtimes will be very few so don't expect big swing in numbers. 

[teard1972]

the news is all over Chinese online outlets, Avatartwo til 2/14 and PiB:TLW til 2/22. But as mentioned in the China BO thread, the showtimes are extremely limited.

May add $3-5m at most.
