Christmas Weekend Thread | Avatar 95.6m, PiB 20.05m, Babylon 4.85m 4 days

[TwoMisfits]

Friends got sick, so had to cancel our game day and murder mystery party.

 

So, I gave in to the kids - I'll be taking all 4 to Puss tomorrow with my subscriber credits.  Spouse wants to enjoy peace and quiet, and didn't even think the movie was worth the credit cost, so it will be 5, not 6, at the movie.

 

I am excited to see it, and I'm kinda floored that for the 1pm showing, I'm only the 5-9th seats bought out of 200+...which is good for me, and bad for the movie...

How come after every cold front Avatar movies get a boost at the box office?

Because Pandora is much warmer and acts like a placebo

Not really but it's going to be similar to yesterday. Maybe 6-6.5.

Yeah, I’m far less certain about what it could do post holidays than this week. Even if this week is insane. For now I will go with 37 today, but still hoping something like 40 happens. 

39-42m for Kal

Damn Obviously not bad numbers but the $100m dream is looking very dead

[AnDr3s]

staying flat is kinda bad isn't?

[Alex SciChannel]

It should be kept in mind the Southeast at the moment is experiencing the remnants of the cold air mass that was storm Elliot. All should be clear by Tuesday

Not really. Yesterday over-indexed to pick up the slack from Friday/Saturday and today will be normal number it would have been without that happening.

THIS.

 

Not to put on my Multiplier Skeptic Hat (as it's only tangentially related), but this is the danger in just blindly plugging in numbers into a preset formula/expectations without taking context/extenuating circumstances into account.

Which shows SUN is just inflated for everyone, last year boxing day was kinda weak as well iirc 

 

I don't think it matters that much in the long term

Yep. As usual, the Tuesday and Wednesday numbers will tell the tale as we get back to a presumably normal pattern.

[ThomasNicole]

Hoping for the high end today, 96M 4-day isn't something to be sad about especially considering all the insecures in the past days about the storms

 

It's the same R1 did despite opening 20M lower, which bodes well for the long term 

 

550-600M finish still the reasonable range

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.
