Posted by Cap,

I know I’m going to get shit for this, but eh, LFG.   We are a box office forum. We talk about Avatar excessively because it’s the biggest box office film of all time.  Most of the other places on The Internet TM do not. For the General Audience, this is a sequel to that cool movie from 12 years ago. To Nerd Culture, it’s the sequel to the movie they love to mock and meme. And James Cameron did most of his best work in the 1980’s, which is like asking Gen Z to marathon TCM. There isn’t

I know we're in the middle of Oscar Talk, but since I just caught up with the thread, I want to swing back to something that was discussed about an hour ago.       As a not quite charter member of Wait For Boxing Day To Really Say, but a strong subscriber to the newsletter, I understand this comment.   I really do.   At the same the world is a *LOT* different now than it was in 2009.   We've all listed the reasons, but one major thing that isn'

I'll disagree with this on the basis that the extra run time means they're getting 1 fewer showing per theater per day compared to The batman

 

Batman was 2h.56m. Not a huge difference. They will have almost the same amount of showings.

Sorry. I'm just seeing some pretty big predictions so I wasn't really sure. Thank you.

You have to remember this is opening double what the first film did. If it had the same 10x legs as the first film we would be talking 1.4-1.5bil US total!.

Another funny typo from the Deadline article. BPWF had a long ass opening weekend! 

Avatar 2 won’t be frontloaded like Marvel pics (Note Black Panther: Wakanda Forever posted a $28M Thursday night, an $84.2M Friday and $181.3M 30-day)

Whoa, it really is a flop!

Batman was only 16 minutes shorter, not much difference in showtime spread, and theaters are just opening earlier to compensate (also had similar issues with weaker than usual later shows)

Very reasonable projection

Honestly looks like it could be close to Box Office Pros prediction

 

Not impossible but this would be very surprising. I'm thinking like....

 

17 - 39 - 44 - 36 = 136

Those FSS are all quite optimistic, it probably won’t even be within 20M of that

94% RT verified score, on par with BPWF

 

has RT changed it verified rating process?

its always seemed to me that RT verified scores alwats peak out of the gate before slowly coming down, but ever since nope pretty much every movie has started with meh verified scores on thursday only to have a pretty decent score by friday night

I’m about ready to start Terminator. I don’t think I’ve seen it in like 15 years. Should I live blog it? Asks for the page counts. 

100 pages is too low of a goal, we're already 23, or ~$750K/page, should be $1M/page (so 132 give or take 😜)
