It grossed $32.9m ($66m adj) in its 9th weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I’m glad they’re re-releasing Titanic. Booked IMAX tickets this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borobudur Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Avatar 2 continue to narrow the week-to-week drop as compared to last week and the past weekend, is it a sign of Oscar bump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Eric Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 1 hour ago, GOGODanca said: yes but is a 3d release of titanic that comes out same time as magic mike gonna really get some valentines benefit that would make it considerably more than say a september release and is it worth taking away your own 3d screens from your latest movie? Do you really think Cameron cares about that stuff this much? This movie has already made more than $2 billion. Everybody who wanted to see the movie in 3D has likely already seen it in 3D. Probably several times in fact. And I'm sure it'll still play in front of some 3D screens anyways. I know Cameron's an egotist and greedy, but I doubt he's crying himself to sleep over losing 3D screens to a movie where he's already made gobs of money from. Besides, even if Way of Water follows the same trajectory the first movie did at the same point in time (which it won't, because its legs aren't as strong as Avatar's), it would be at around 13.5M or so. And it's not gonna be anywhere close to that, especially with no President's Day that weekend. It's extremely unlikely it'll be at double digits that weekend. So is Cameron really losing that much money because of that pesky boat movie? No. So this ain't a big deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the impact should be manageable since even Avatar's IMAX gross is winding down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems reasonable enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upriser7 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 @M37 what do you make of A2's drops so far in weekdays this week ? They look much better than drops we saw in weekdays of previous weeks. Do you think this could be sign of softer drops going forward or just due to some Oscar buzz bump ?

M37 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I know Titanic is being promoted as a Valentine's release, but IMO its as much Super Bowl weekend counter-programming, in a basically empty spot in the calendar. Going earlier would have been cannibalizing Avatwo, so dropping a week before AMWQ was going to suck up all those PLF screens anyway doesn't really do much harm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My big picture impression (for everything): MLK weekend was inflated by more free time & lack of competition, last week was a bit of a correction, and now titles are settling into the grove they’ll most follow for a few weeks until Ant-Man. Expecting good (better than last weekend) holds across the board for next 2-3 weeks, adjusting for outside factors like NFL and competition like Cabin knocking down M3G and Titanic & Avatar - so pretty boring and predictable 🥱 Don’t think a Best Pic and few effects noms are going to move needle much at this point in the run 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about saint but in interviews he usually comes off as the opposite of an egotist, pointing out the team aspect of moviemaking. As for greedy, again, can't think of anything that would point towards him deviating from the norm. What CAN be said is that he used to be a little hot tempered on sets.

The Dark Alfred Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The dude made three films crossing 2 billion, he has every right to be egoistic. Wish he would hire a screenwriter, though. He clearly loves TITANIC, probably the closest project to his heart and it's perfect for VD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
