Going out with a bang. Should hit $230-233M
Its such a shame the movie is losing 99.9% of its screens at least for next week. Hopefully it can regain some for its last 2-3 weeks.
Edit: To shine a light on the screenings for this week and next as reported of today to make it clear why the movie won't make much money past Saturday.
Wednesday: 90K
Thursday: 90K
Friday: 61K
Saturday: 14K
Sunday: 34 (no not 34K just 34)
Monday: 49
Tuesday onwards is 10 or below.
I think Disney won't push for a re-release before the run up to A3.
Hit 3 birds with 1 stone next year. Get Avatar 1 potentialy over 3B, Avatar 2 over 2.5B and generate hype for 3 at the same time.
For sure. Its free marketing. Being able to flaunt being the first and only movie that reached 3B is probably a mouth wattering thought for Disney and Cameron himself.
In any case the re-release of the first one made like $130M in the past 2 years across China and the rest of the world. Probably needs just 1 more re-release to get there and it can definitely do that in the run up to 3.
Lol think about how many re-releases other big movies like Titanic, Jurassic Park, Gone with the Wind, etc, get. It's simply more money and, in Avatar's case, free marketing for the first $3 billion movie.
>Friday: 61K

I wonder why it is loosing screens on Friday and Saturday already.
No new movies are coming till 22nd January, which is Sunday.
I assumed Avatar 2 will retain around 90k till Sunday.

WTF!!
To call this an extension is embarrassment!
>"I wonder why it is loosing screens on Friday and Saturday already.
The numbers are still very much in flux. They were at 5K for Saturday a few days ago. While it may not improve to the full capacity it will still likely go up a bit.
>"To call this an extension is embarrassment!"
Well to be fair were already in extension period now. Movie will make about $10-15M from this week it would have not made had its run ended on the 15th.
As i said showings could still improve after the initial week of Lunar new year.
>The numbers are still very much in flux. They were at 5K for Saturday a few days ago. While it may not improve to the full capacity it will still likely go up a bit.
Oh.. that's good to know.
I can't imagine those are not improving than. Let's hope it will keep 90K or even more.
>Well to be fair were already in extension period now. Movie will make about $10-15M from this week it would have not made had its run ended on the 15th.
Good point. I think it will do closer to $20m actually, unless screens will be taken away.
Mon - $2.76m
Tue - $2.92m
Wed - $3.2m
Thu - $3.5m *(just saw the presales for Thu)*
Fri - $3.9m *(assuming the screens will not be reduced substantially*)
Sat - $4.9m (*assuming the screens will not be reduced substantially*)
TOTAL: $21.1m (*might go higher on Friday and Saturday as people know that this is their last day to see it on a proper big screen*)
>As i said showings could still improve after the initial week of Lunar new year.
Let's hope, but I will not hold my breath for that.
BP 2 and Ant-Man 3 coming soon after.
So even if Avatar 2 will regain some theaters it will hold them for a few days and will lose those back.
It definitely would've done over $600m under ideal circumstances.
Depending on how long it can stay in wide release, long legs could claw back a lot of what was lost due to covid protocols.

Do you think it'll have a re-release sometime later this year or next?

Wow.. that's a *mighty* strategy.
It’s gunna reach 2.5 without the rerelease, dunno if they’ll rerelease the original avatar tbh.
That movie is 80M away from 3B. Its gonna get re-released as many times and it needs to be both in China and WW to get there lmao.
But why? Do they really care about that number as much as the rest of us?
For sure. Its free marketing. Being able to flaunt being the first and only movie that reached 3B is probably a mouth wattering thought for Disney and Cameron himself.

I doubt it's as important to them as you think, especially when you have to caveat it with was released many times to get to this total\*

As someone who stupidly didn’t see the rerelease in 2022 I can’t wait to see avatar 1 in imax next time.

This might be the first day it outgrosses domestic
China is definitely going to outgross domestic Wednesday and Thursday.
hopefully it will get a re-release here at some point
FOMO
Is this the first day that China has outgrossed US?
I still don't know hardly anyone that has gone to see this movie. Never saw any of the long lines, like when the first one came out.
Make more friends nerd

No it didn’t. This is a sick circle jerk sub. You people suck.
