On Tuesday, “Avatar: The Way of Water” added a solid $18.3 million domestically and $40.5 million internationally. So far, it’s generated $168.6 million domestically and $387.3 million internationally to date, taking its global tally to $555.9 million.

That's...very good on both counts, right? International especially ticked up like $3m from Charlie's early estimates, nice. Let's see how hard this deflated Saturday and winter storm hits.

Ohhh $18.3M is a nice number. My goal for Wednesday is anything over $15.5M

Everything about Titanic is awesome. The more I think about, the more obsessed I get. 
 

• Young Leo
• KATE WITH AN AXE
• ”PLEASE SHES ALL I HAVE IN THE WORLD”
• Victor Garber!!!!
• Kathy Bates living her best life
• The Band 😭😭😭
• ALL the Historical Accuracy (except for locking the gate and third class. They unlocked the gates by 1230, and they didn’t start loading the lifeboats until 1240.)
• The fact we actually get to see whar the ship looked like since they basically rebuilt the ship down to the silverware!!
• The crazy production stories
• James Cameron trying to kill all his extras with practical effects 
• The story of them having to take pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio’s real bruises so they could match the make up for when they healed
• the pee tank
• SO OVER BUDGET Cameron offered to give up his salary 
• all Hollywood thinking he was nuts
• to make 2B dollars
• The SONG!! Celine being Celine
• The song/movie being so iconic it’s referenced in Oops I Did It Again
• Oscar Sweep!
• THE PCP COWDER MYSTERY THAT HAS YET TO BE SOLVED!!!!!!

I rate Avatar and Titanic 10/10 so it's not like I can be mad!

The apologies were because I haven't seen more Cameron movies (I plan to watch some on January though)

[Maggie]

Titanic FTW. Who else had posters of Leo on their walls?

Anything over $15.5m would be just gravy. High end 14m and low 15m would be awesome too.

[charlie Jatinder]

Good night

[Eric Prime]

@Cap Very shocked you didn't bring up the Real Party scene. This is probably the best scene Daddy Cameron's ever directed and I will take that to my grave. 

 

 

 

[Brainbug]

01. Aliens 10/10 perfect movie

02. Terminator 2 - 10/10 perfect action movie

03. Terminator 1 9/10 - a true classic

04. The Abyss - 9/10 - still too underrated!

05. Avatar - 7/10 - pretty movie!

06. True Lies - 7/10 - gets worse with every rewatch for me, but still solid 90s action

07. Titanic - 2/10 - Boring

 

I dont think i have to explain what my hottake here is and i hope i wont get murdered too fast for it.

[Krissykins]

Titanic is in my top five films of all time. I was *obsessed* as a kid. First film I ever went to see more than once in the cinema. I was 9. Preordered the VHS and got a poster, had posters on my walls etc the full lot lol. It’s incredible. Hoping it gets re-released in February here. 
 

 

Great Tuesday for Avatar, best Tuesday of the year. 

[IronJimbo]

Rogue 1:

Mon    $17,596,150
Tues    $17,582,978
Wed    $14,965,790

Thurs    $16,773,075

 

I think we can get 16.5 for Wed

Just want to say, now that we have a real number that looks good in comparison to the ones floated last night, it’s really just … fine. Typically, films that preform better on Sat & Sun tend to have better Tuesdays (see most recently BPWF) due to a similar audience composition 
 

I’m expecting a drop for Wed, though more schools getting out yesterday or today will soften it. RO’s -15% seems like as good a place as any to set the bar, won’t be surprised with -10%, and anything better than that is a good result 

Here are the Tue to Wed holds for the big tentpole since TFA (excluding those years directly impacted by X-Mas), and the Wednesday openings on that day

 

NWH (12/22/21) = -11.3% (Sing 2, Matrix, King's Man)

TLJ (12/20/17) = -16.6% (Jumanji WTJ, Greatest Showman)

RO (12/21/16) = -14.9% (Sing, Assassin's Creed, Passengers)

TFA (12/23/15) = +1.8% (no Wed openings)

So $15.5, maybe $16M is the baseline expectations bar

US number is great but damn OS is killing it 

 

I think 1.3B is possible with 2 months without competition ahead
