People think World Cup final will effect usa box office of avatar? 
 

a Houston Texans vs denver broncos game would generate 3x more viewership in America lol

 

if anything gonna affect avatar tomorrow it’s nfl in USA 

 

As others pointed out WC ratings have been strong in the US. 2018 WC final averaged 17.8 million and 2022 should do much better because of Messi. NFL as of a month ago was averaging 16 million.

Decent sat I guess.

Miss for new projection method (understandable given this is first weekend using it), but keeps my contest hopes slightly alive, ok enough for the movie I suppose.

Messi's in the final. My brother who usually says, "F it", is getting up at 7am to watch it.

One thing seems sure , A2 is not becoming HGOAT 

[Madhuvan]

Not sure about World Cup affecting US but EU and LatAm will definitely be affected.

I just glanced at my IMAX screen for now until Christmas. They are seats all the way booked to Christmas. The 2:30 and 6:30pm are the most popular. It’s sold out for tomorrow (10:30am, 2:30pm, 6:30pm) and the 6:30pm on Tuesday is sold out. 
 

The 2D showings are still lacking. Tomorrow it looked like some people were showing up for the 2D showings around the 3 to 6 window, but the showings before, and after was still really bare. So it looks like the PLFs in my area, at least, are supporting the long legs theory.

Very few people are wanting to watch an Avatar movie in 2D, that’s entirely unsurprising. Although the HFR 2D show is 70% sold in the evenings for the next week near me.

You also called people of today overly sensitive for actually having an issue with sexism.

so i take it the problem for this weekend at least is poor walk-up's due to people not wanting to see in standard format?

 

Probably. I am waiting till tomorrow to see it, so I can watch it in IMAX 3D. which I bought my ticket for about a week ago and was already selling out. I imagine many people are doing the same. 

 

Still a disappointing opening. we are looking at $135m opening weekend. give or take $10m I would say. 

 

It's going to be pretty leggy I am sure. but weather it has original avatar legs we will have to wait and see.

How did the people in the avatar showing react

I’m the lobby guy, I’m the one letting folks in…

 

…in fact, Disney isn’t allowing Regal employees to use their monthly free tickets to see Avatar for the first week or two. Disney did the same thing with Black Panther. 😑

Realistically we're probably looking at $42-44M for Saturday. I'd say it's 95% likely to fall in that range.
