Is Avatar1 the only movie that has done $20M+ on fourth Saturday ?

 

As far as i know, yes. TFA had a 19,2M 4th Saturday, that came closest i think.

[GOGODanca]

on the other hand a2 has had consistently better sunday holds than rogue one so maybe its able to pull off a 30% drop and get to 45m for the 2nd highest 4th weekend ever

how confident are you in that 20?

I cant speak for Charlie but I am confident as well. I wont have final number for another 2 hours or so but based on 5PM PST data, I am feeling good about it. 

 

Since this is dependent on PLF/3D, sunday hold will be good. I am definitely seeing 45m+ weekend.

So possibly taking down TGMs 4th holiday weekend with a 50m lead over it? Yeah, not seeing much reason how A2 wouldn’t win at this point. Setting my sights on A1 first run personally (749).

top gun did 44.65

 

rogue one dropped 33% on sunday, that gets avatar to 44.8

 

TGM had Fathers day advantage that weekend...without that, it probably would have been around $40M.

If this really pulls off a $45m weekend, $700m is becoming a topic worth being discussed I guess. 

[oenri]

Are you guys betting on Avatar weekend surpassing Top Gun(44M)? Cause I never doubted that.

Personally I'm more excited about that M3GAN number! 

 

Honestly, Universal is really the only studio pulling its weight in terms of product output. It's all well and fine for Disney to have their blockbusters but Universal is actually putting in effort on the theatrical front outside of their tentpoles.

It’s been worth discussing since Christmas Day (actually even since OW since this is a Cameron film like I mentioned all along), but I digress.

So a 45-46mil weekend then for A2 because i really cant see it dropping under 14mil on Sunday from a 20mil Saturday

In fact i bet it hits 15mil Sunday.

[MovieMan89]

Considering the film held better in its first week post holiday weekdays than A1 and might be within 5% of the weekend drop, overall it’s essentially matching A1s first post holiday week holds. That is nuts and I honestly did not expect it. Super eager to see if it actually keeps up with no competition. 

[oenri]

Is there any possibility that this reaches 48-49? Or is it already out of reach?

[YM!]

Honestly curious if it keeps in tangent with Avatar’s holds, could it top the original?

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Fucking hell, Avatar 2's Saturday nearly doubling its Friday this weekend?! It's so surreal seeing a Fox leftover absorbed by Disney doing this well.

And to add to all of that A2 is going to have a 87mil lead after this weekend, so i dont really get why so many on here feel 700mil is out of reach.

Best possible is probably ~$47M. Today may move upwards some but it's already 11PM EST so it's not gonna go up that much. Maybe $21M if the West Coast over-performs. A great Sunday hold might pull in $15M.

Disney already had a major stake in this doing well before there were even whispers that the property would be fully theirs cause of, you know, Pandora at Animal Kingdom.
