Imagine the reaction if this films final ends up being between 700-717m DOM lol

 

I'd be content with that, over $700M is a great threshold to pass (I genuinely did not believe in this anymore after that first Monday number). But if TGM does manage to keep that hard earned domestic yearly crown? Sounds alright with me.

Its 3 times this weekend.

You have to take the weekend numbers into consideration too. Before the weekend, A2 needed 181M to beat JW. 181/45 = 4x. Just like OW, for instance,  a movie making 100M total from a 50M OW has 100/50 = 2x. It's (total - pre weekend gross)/weekend number for legs, atleast that's the metric I use.

In all seriousness, they will 100% re-release/expand later this year to get it over if that happens lol. They already did that with A1 anyways around that Labor Day I think.

moviegoing has returned. Just because boring movies like The Fabelmans are flopping doesn't mean there is any "hesitancy"

This was greatly helped by China. AVATAR's 6th overseas weekend was just its 3rd in China.

I'm sure some would be happy, but it would be weak happiness when WW A2 will be upwards of a billion ahead.

[kayumanggi]

Deadline:

 

The international session delivered $132.6M in 52 markets for an estimated overseas running total of $1,191.3M. The weekend haul repped a 30% drop from last frame, but a significant number of markets saw increases including Brazil (+83%), Spain (+53%) and Germany (+4%).

I feel like one can be happy about both films doing well at the box office lol, it's just good for the industry (and our entertainment)

I suspect it's because people save up their dough to see big movies in theaters, rather than small ones.

Ummm, I take it you haven't followed box office much...

 

Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle had its 4th weekend (which happened to be this exact one) outgross its 1st one...

 

(Yes, they did declare their opening early sneaks as their own weekend:)...

 

I guess I just haven't followed box office much...

There's no need for this fanboy nonsense of trying to diminish the achievements of other movies to prop up Avatar 2. Top Gun's domestic success is no less impressive or relevant than Avatar 2's international success, and there'll be a good argument to be made that Maverick's overall run was more impressive than Avatar 2's given the context behind the two runs (higher ticket prices for Avatar 2, holiday vs. summer release, no competition vs. heavy competition, Avatar 2 having far higher pre-ordained levels of likely success as the sequel to the highest-grossing movie of all time, etc.)

So A Man Called Otto gonna do 30m? More than Babylon and Fablemans combined potentially?

I'm not diminishing anything, in fact i was replying to someone else who started it.

 

And yes i think if TGM and A2 grossed the same in the US, TGM would be more impressive due to the lack of 3D premium.

I'm just saying the US is one market, the world is the world.

Agreed, but I’d still like to see some depth though. 

I think we all would like to see that (I hope lol).

Avatar is up to 3.85 multi, already. 5 multi is happening! We can finally put to bed that WOM isn't great, nonsense. 

WOM is/is not helping the film so much as an absolute lack of competition. Only two films released during its first month will finish above $50M. That’s a pathetic lack of competition during the holidays so the main film is able to maintain screens and suck up all sorts of business as there are no other options.

I could see it becoming a mini-The Upside and legging it out to $50-60M when it goes wide next weekend tbh.
