Watched it with my Dad yesterday when he came around. I had AI converted the film to 48fps beforehand, and he couldnt believe what he was watching ha.

Like... in a good way?

Yeah he was like 'its so smooth, it looks like you're actuially in the cockpit' and stuff like that lol.

He's a massive fan of the film, he's seen his dvd about 10 times already.

I can never get used to high frame rate, except maybe for sports. If it’s a movie or TV show, my eyes and mind need it to be 24-30 frames per second.

RTH is the GOAT. Sad that he’s not with us these days.

Yeah but its personal choice isnt it. I actually like it, although ironically i wasnt keen on it in A2 as the switching between framerates was a bit jaring.

 

I will be converting the film though when thre home version comes he he.

Would this range affect your recent estimates for DOM total at all, or negligible enough to discount?

Negligible as I expected it. My current base is still in the upper 500's.

I mean do whatever you prefer, I just found it funny to be doing it given Tom Cruise's personal insistence that he happened to a film a PSA for while filming the movie you just watched with motion smoothing haha

That is cool to see these guys speaking out on the subject. Movies and TV shows just look weird as hell to me when the TV or movie projector is running way above 30 frames per second.

A decrease from Sunday is in the cards?? Oh well. Sad. Hoping for 32.1M to beat R1's 2nd Monday.

I wouldn’t bet on a drop but yes it’s still feasible. I’d probably go with like a 5% increase if I had to be firm.

Could Puss in Boots increase by 10% since it's family animated?

That is a heartbreaking number for Mon considering Sun.

Not heartbreaking. The movie is still piling up a ton of money. And it’s hard to have sympathy for Disney or James Cameron after their insane success in the past.
 

Avatar 2 is another success. Maybe not on the same level as Titanic or Avatar 1 or Force Awakens or Avengers Endgame. But still a very successful box office performance for both Cameron & Disney. They also have potential to grow with future movies.
