Taking the highest and lowest daily DOM changes out of the equation, Way of Water is remarkably stable so far even compared to the original Avatar. 

 

There are a lot of people who want to see this movie but unlike NWH and such there is not a 'rush to see it'

Pelé, the biggest football player of all time, has passed away.

 

REST IN POWER, KING.

[Jiffy]

Yeah idk what Disney can do to fix things for A3 in Japan.

Yep, exactly what I’ve said all along. This movie has almost no rush factor, yet also is a movie everyone knows needs to be seen in a theater. So that’s a pretty nifty combo not many blockbusters are afforded.

If TWOW had last year China it would’ve made $2.5B.

 

But didn't NWH have more covid restrictions in Western countries?

 

If you get a covid free Avatar release then you also need one for NWH.

Hopefully this stops people from making insane predictions ( looking  at you @IronJimbo ) for the 3rd film. Had the franchise not disappeared from the public for a decade and treated on the same level as star wars 3-3.5 billion would have been certain.

 

 

 

 

no

pretty clear that exchange rates are pretty trash these days, that could easily change by 2024, china could be losing like 500 million from covid, plus there still maybe 10% or so of the audience that hasnt returned yet because of covid, maybe the weak economy is hurting it more than we thought and russia

 

its of course too early too say anything, but if this ends with more than 2.2 billion and 3 is much more critically acclaimed and looking to release in a better environment, I see no reason for ironjimbo to change his predicting methods too much (as long as its not 4 billion talk)

not a bigger legend than Erwin Helmchen, sorry

 

but still rip

Starting to get excited to see just what it can do in January bc this is truly an absolute wasteland of a January for even the slightest possibility of a new release getting any box office traction. If the hold this weekend is great, then feeling like a January run not all that dissimilar to what A1s insane Jan holds were might not be that unlikely.

Right now I'm thinking 26-29 for A2's 4th WE and M3GAN at 20-23.

 

 

I think Megan can hit 30m.

 

I think it has captured the public's imagination with the funny/creepy trailers.

I don’t even know who the fuck this is and honestly I don’t care.

 

Respect the King. Everyone knows he is the king of football, this was never up to debate.

Add 15 minute concert scene with bunch of Na'vi singer singing multiple pop songs. Boom! $150m guaranteed!  I would say even South Korean would go crazier than already big gross now.

The would be best.

 

[Fanboy]

I wonder if the headlines coming out that Avatar 2 is a box office hit now is gonna have any (even if its minor) positive effect on the box office. I can see people who were on the fence deciding to check it out now they know it’s doing well. On every article I see about it on Facebook for example has tonnes of people commenting under it how much they loved it.

Not my country. Not just Brazil. The world. Fuck the troll.

Every single person that has ever played football knows that Pelé is the literal king of the sport. Messi might have surpassed Maradona, but both of them would  agree that Pelé is the king.

 

He fucking created football. He turned sport into art. The rest is history.
