Its PG-13 in the US.

surprising the movie has a lot of blood but at the same time it feels  limited on what it can show

If A2 is such a good film and has an excellent WoM, it would be embarrassing for it not to beat TGM or in fact hit 800m with such a lead amassed already lol

So its gone from creaming over the 'low' opening weekend and celebrating, to 'its a flop if it doesnt hit 800mil lolz'.

I thought you said you wouldnt do A2 vs TGM domestic race because it would be embarrasing for A2?. Is reality finally dawning on you?.

 

Try harder Alfred.

 

Besides there is more to the world than just the US, A2 will blow past TGM worldwide by 600-800mil.

I have a feeling it will beat TGM by 900m-1B+ and still beat it domestically as well Brother Stewart.

 

Brother Alfred is finding it difficult to accept Cameron wont be defeated by his movies yet again lol!

WELL BROTHER PORTHOS.... YOUR NO DAISY AT ALL"

Man I still see crowds in my city... So Im hoping actuals are much much higher.

 

Anyone feeling  67-68M :)?

 

. Estimates right with my predict of 63M @ 63-64M Weekend 3. Wow No drop at all and chances of an actual increase over the 2nd weekend. Imagine if 4th weekend is 50+M..

4th weekend being in that range feels next to impossible after the New Years and Christmas rush has subsided. Even the high end of current estimates, $40m, would be great. Let's see what happens.

 

Feels like we're in need of an update on Sunday estimates any minute now...

This is not the Top Gun Maverick thread, but I will just leave my 2 cents since its being talked about. In my personal opinion, I don't think TGM is a forgetable movie at all. In the same way as Avatar, it's a simple movie plot wise, but is an unforgettable theater experience with out of this world effects and visuals, thrills, good characters and hits all the emotional strings.
Many times a simple story told masterfully is more impactant than something complex, which is exactly what most James Cameron movies are and the results in the box office showcases that.

[Jiffy]

$35m+ next weekend would be a win.

To be honest i'd take a 40mil 4th weekend if offered.

The fist AVATAR did do 50mil, but off a higher 68mil 3rd weekend. It also had a pretty ridiculous 26% drop.

 

Of course A2 COULD hit 50mil, but i think 40mil will be closer to reality i would think.

A2 also curently has a 70mil lead on the first film, so it can afford some steeper drops.

Sounds good, but lets hope crowds in the Apple still for this film and sellouts means that is the way folks are flocking all over in the premium theaters. So 40-35M is real good, but 45-50+M is juggernaut  hold status. 

Correct Brother Stewart and Brother Dragon? 

 

Im trying to keep my expectations in check, but man this hold this weekend is astounding!!

Yeah i said the other day that it will probably be in the 35-40mil range.

I wouldnt be surprised if id DID do over 40mil though as both Christmas and New Year weekends have been close to the first film, and thats with having Christmas and New Year Eve's in them, somethign the first film did NOT have to deal with.

So yeah could go over 40mil, but i'm going to try and play it safe.

Maybe Alex . Lots of spillover should happen.  I do have a feeling Megan may steal some legs from everyone but Im hoping  Avatar 2 and Puss fend it off.. Whats Megans tracking for this weekend.

Some of my friends liked it.. And said its not too bad. Almost as good as Chucky 1.. So thats some fairly high praise.

I feel like M3GAN is meant as counterprogramming against the 4-quadrant Avatar 2 and family aimed Puss in Boots. So successful or not I doubt M3GAN is affecting the the grosses of the two films all that much.
