WOW...these Friday numbers are...boring. Only number that I would say is good is MIB3. Everything else is blah.

I'm curious as to how many of the people that are rapturously celebrating that "OMG! TA IS THE THIRD BIGGEST GROSSING FILM OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!" tried to downplay AVATAR's intital dethroning of Titanic and all others with stuff like "Big Deal! With 3D and inflation, it's not that big of a deal!" or "Well, 3D, inflation, and a totally unoriginal, safe plot will do that! At the end of the day, it still can't compare to Titanic or GWTW." Funny how when a film we love succeeds, suddenly our definition of success manages to accomodate that film's particular circumstances unquestionably.

Solid opening for SWATH, looks like some of the Twilight crowd showed up after all. Interested to see how it holds. Not sure word of mouth is all that great.

Posting this in here since its the busiest thread today, heh...

Human nature? Just like when a film a person dislikes succeeds they try to play down it's success.

But in any case were there a lot of people playing down Avatar's incredible box office? It beat Titanic by so much and had such huge legs even before that, it was clearly a WOM movie 3D aside (As much as it can be put aside when talking Avatar.)

Hear, hear! They never brought up 3D inflation when TS3 made over $1 billion but when DH2 flew past Shriekapoo, tons of 3D, duh! comments which won`t be made once bunny-pulled sled with burping dwarves movies push Shriekapoo down too thanks to 3D + whatever extra shit they are going to charge for soap opera frames.

Beyond disappointing that it won't beat MIIB domestic.

[druv10]

aDIM, I think THG did 450K not 550K. BO.com is predicting 1.55M.

I think that is expected when you wait ten years to follow a shitty sequel.
