“I saw the first one when it was out, and that’s going back some time. And the second Avatar, the one that’s coming out, I shot I think four years ago,” she said on the ABC talk show. “And then I’ve been busy doing stuff and somebody mentioned Avatar and I thought, ‘Oh, I guess it came out and didn’t do very well.’ Because I hadn’t heard anything. I thought, ‘Oh, well it happens!'”

Falco continued, “And then someone recently said, ‘Oh, Avatar is coming out!’ I said, ‘It hasn’t come out yet?!'”

LMAO

Gonna be a boring run if this movie pretty much follows Rogue One’s daily grosses. But it’s early. Still time to develop strong legs. 

Yep. Time for some patience, especially when its drop this weekend will be impacted by a subdued Saturday (movie theaters are starting their last shows for everything by 7:30 at the latest due to Christmas Eve).

ROGUE ONE is the best among the recent SW movies.

7:30 seems way too late considering the whole avatar package might take 4 hours 

would guess 6 at the latest

Idk while the second weekend'll be subdued we'll be able to tell the general projection of things by then. We can only hold off for so long.

Plenty of theaters are starting it and Babylon (which is just as long as Avatar) at around 7 Saturday around me. Gotta get in those Saturday evening shows since the night will be nonexistent.

Rogue One is a pretty good comparison point. Exact same release date and similar daily grosses from Saturday to Monday. If it continues tracking pretty similar to Rogue One by end of 2nd weekend, I think we at least know it’s not going to pull a Titanic or Avatar 2009 and break the domestic record.
 

With this being a Cameron movie, I don’t bet against him pulling off the unthinkable. But we’ll have a decent idea after the 2nd Sunday of where it’s going.

Yeah I agree that 2nd Sunday'll be the defining day.

On the bright side, Paramount must be feeling pretty vindicated pitting Sonic 3 against Avatar 3.

 

I do hope the scripts for the fourth and fifth movies eventually leak out in a few years. Because they're sure as hell not getting made now.

FWIW I'm close to securing tickets to see I Wanna Dance with Somebody on Christmas Day and the Avatar shows for the afternoon are already filling up like crazy. Whatever the weekdays for the rest of this week look like that's destined to be a really massive day for it.

All screens or just the premium/3D?

[GipJo]

Looking at the detailed box office of China, now I'm not sure how covid is the definitive reason why Avatar 2 is doing poorly.

People are gathering around in the premium screens, they're packed, this is the opposite of avoiding a crowd because of covid. Just look at the IMAX screen and the normal 3D screen that comes just before or after it, if people really are afraid of covid that much, they could easily pick those 3D screens where there is basically no one in them.

I'm not dismissing the impact of covid has, but I think there is more nuance as to why Avatar 2 is doing bad there.

So mon is 16 or deadline calculated with the wrong atp and it can come out with higher result?

The ATP thing was purely on my end with the data I have been tracking. Has nothing to do with what Deadline reported.

If Deadline comes in wrong, it's because it's Deadline. No further explanation needed.

The folks going to a movie theater are probably less concerned about COVID in general. If someone is truly worried about it, they won’t show up to a movie theater at all.
