This has probably already been mentioned somewhere but is there a reason Friday increases for all movies on January 6 2017 were a lot softer than January 6 2012? Using Sherlock Holmes 2 for weekend drops actually seems like a good comparison even though numbers are a lot different, but it jumped 125% on Friday where Rogue One jumped only 56%.

Well, A2 isn't really doing anything new to be honest, many films have done the same with that calendar setup, just not any film of this size (small sample size, though).

 

Had it opened to $200m as some pundits expected it would have probably performed much closer to R1 legs wise. I guess Cameron is a better marathon runner than he is a sprinter (duh!).

Yet all this data couldn't predict an increase in the 3rd weekend and a possible increase today lol We dont know how much it will do yet, but it clearly will not drop similar to Rogue One

Well actually the data is potentially predicting an increase today and that’s why you’re aware of it to make your snarky comments

I am talking about the data of predicting Avatar gross based on other movies and similar calendars. This data that you are doing to predict sales during the day is math and counting, totally different than what I am saying. Still pretty cool of course!

You do understand this is how everyone analyzes every movie. They are doing the same with Puss In Boots to project it’s weekend.  It’s not some sinister plot to constantly underestimate Our Heavenly Father James Francis Cameron  I promise.

And I am not saying they shouldnt do it, I am just saying they aren't being accurate and are underestimating James Cameron and Avatar.

So what your saying is that your opinion differs from someone else and therefore they are wrong.

 

Thank god you joined the forum to rectify the situation. What do you think there penalty should be? Have to read your posts constantly on loop? That sounds like a fate worse than death honestly.

lol I just said under 45M predictions for the Avatar weekend are off and are underestimating the movie. You are the one overreacting.

They clearly need to invent a time machine at some point in the future after TWOW’s run is over and come back to the past to give us accurate figures for upcoming days.

Nah maybe it is better this way, predictions underestimate Avatar then the movies surprises and looks even more powerful. I literally just said that predictions for the Avatar weekend are underestimating the movie, what is the big deal

we gonna doom our way to 800 million domestic?

[GOGODanca]

a 3% drop from YD gets us to 7.25m and a 6.5x multipler for the weekend which is around the midpoint of Rogue 1 and NWH gets us to a 47m weekend a floor of around $41m

Edited January 6, 2023 by GOGODanca

[eXtacy]

Above 7m Thursday leads into a likely 45m. Definitely some potential here to crack Avatar's 4th weekend record. Lets see how it plays out.
