Yes. It contributes to page count and that's how the mod team gets paid. 

You all are evil. Evil people. For symmetrical opposite reasons.

A lot lol. As @Porthosand a few others have been saying, the lack of PLF screens for a movie sold on "SEE IT IN THE BIGGEST BEST SCREEN POSSIBLE" might genuinely hurt this.

Then how come the original didn't suffer from this. At what point do we admit it's the movie that's the issue

PLF was barely a thing back then so it wasn't promoted as such. Back then it was just the 3D that got promoted a bunch.

NA only has 67 IMAX theaters, isn't that incredibly low? China has a whopping 800+ IMAX screens. If Avatar 2 needs premium screens for legs, how much impact the lack of screen have?

Canada and US has at least 500 IMAX screens, there's also a large number of other branded PLF screens that are not IMAX.

Yep, seems about right (comps to weekend are headed for 15.5-17 in the theaters I'm tracking). As I said in the weekend thread looks like length is winning out over PLF skew. 

So charitable

James Cameron spoke ill of Marvel and King Kevin sent dark energy right back. Scorsese’s still making straight to streaming movies. Spielberg is on consecutive flops. Hopefully JC apologises and A2 can be salvaged.

So, considering that the WE thread was actually rather chill all things considered, is this gonna be the meltdown thread?  Presuming Early Deadline Estimates are actually on target?

 

(what's the biggest weekday thread we've had recently, anyway?  One without EC related shenanigans, that is)

are we still on track for 3-5 billies?

For 1 & 2 combined, sure 

[Mulder]

I do think it's kinda funny how the Cameronites on here were let off the hook over their Alita overpredictions when they suddenly changed their tune. Probably was a sign of things to come.

Gave a bit of a cautious range in case ratio goes back closer to Fri/Sat level after big Sun overindex.

Oh damn...if this just has regular holiday legs it's gonna come in a lot lower than people have been guessing.

If you come for the king, you best not miss.

If they are wrong I'm holding them accountable
