Jurassic World is the biggest blockbuster event of all time. Tickets could have been 50$ and people would have still shown up back in 2015. It can't be compared to anything else except Endgame and The Force Awakens. Jurassic World would have opened with 300M+ in todays market and I honestly think it would have topped Endgame.

Is this gonna be weekend thread as well? Or we’re throwing the weekend out of the window because of the storm?

Yes, but it doesn't have 14-17 days left, it has about 11 including today and two of those days are Christmas Eve/New Years Eve.  

 

Do you think it will miss 500?

Avatar 2 might be slightly less of a crowd pleaser than a top 2-3 most crowd-pleasing and hyped CBM ever but it still might likely make ~1.6b without China as well . And without Russia/Ukraine and in worse exchange rates while outgrossing NWH in most countries. ATP plays a factor as well but in general i doupt there is a significant gap in "crowdpleasing-ness" between the 2 among the GA

 

If A2 makes 1.5 billion without China that's not slightly less than Endgame or NWH.

 

That's half a billion of a difference

I definitely believe in 300m+ OW given that it was supposed to be a July release pre-pandemic. Not sure if it’d have the legs to top Endgame.

 

350m+ and it could’ve challenged TFA, though.

Why did No Way Home make 1.9 billion without China and during omnicron if theaters are doomed?

 

Maybe Avatar 2 isn't as much of a crowd pleaser.

But it is pleasing overseas crowd like no other movies

For Saturday to Wednesday, it grossed about 97% of Rogue One's total. The Wednesday number itself was 96.2% of Rogue One's Wednesday. They had identical release dates, so it's a fair comparison. If the movie continues making 96-97% of Rogue One's daily gross the rest of the way, it will finish right at $500M.

I didn't say that lol.

 

It's just that it's trialling R1 by $22m and likely going to lose more ground this weekend before heading into the final holiday stretch.  It should easily have better post-holiday legs, we just have to see how it does next week.

I said 1.6b . NWH without Russia/Ukraine made 1.85b . Thats not an enormous difference and if you start balancing and counterbalancing ER, inflation, ATP the gap may shrink even more . So based on that i said that those numbers wouldnt indicate that A2 's reception by the GA is noticably weaker, especially since it will outgross/outadmit NWH in most markets
