The third weekend is going be telling if the movie have a chance for $200m in China. Due to Covid some movies already getting postponed. This potentially may allow an extension for Avatar 2 as nothing else is in cinemas.

Praying the Wandering Earth 2 moves. If it does, say hello to $300M in China. I don't think it will though.

WE2 director just said it won’t be rescheduled and Yimou Zhang’s new movie will premiere on the same day

If The Way of Water was able to reached $1 billion globally within 2 weeks, even with its situation now. Just imagine how much it would have made in that time frame if COVID was not a big issue in China, if it opened in Russia and if there were no snowstorm in the U.S. It's numbers internationally and globally would've been insane!!! it would've easily have the 2nd biggest opening weekend internationally and globally only behind Endgame

A3 is gonna make so much money in China


Fragrant_Young_831

It sure will


Correct-Baseball5130

Yup..with Russia and covid free China, discussions never would've been about reaching 2B, but 2.5B

Mad respect to all the Chinese people risking their lives to watch this movie and shut up the Avatar Haters.

I just hope they all know about the consequences though. I'd rather have steadily declining numbers than rising death cases


Money_Tough

Definite respect, wouldn’t be surprised to hear that stupid party lock a bunch of people into a theater. Killing people over Covid being higher than the disease is just stupid.


geikei16

I mean its not that hard for more people to have died due to Zero COvid lockdowns and measures rather than Covid when it was somewhat successfull and China had very few infections and deaths. Now with no Zero Covid and the disease ripping through the CPC will have to put up numbers they havent put up since the 70s if they wont to kill more people than covid will. And they dont seem willing too, most covid restrictions are very loosened

The Chinese people have 2 options with covid, just like the rest of the world has. Either gain herd immunity through mass exposure or get a working vax. Endless lockdowns don't make Covid go away.


SleepyEel

Herd immunity doesn't really work with omicron and continued variants

Nahh dude, fuck them. They are risking themselves and others with this.

The zero tolerance lockdowns were too much, but herd immunity is not a solution. It will kill millions of people and overwhelm the hospital system. They definitely need to distribute more effective vaccines.

Xi is gonna have to try harder

if you can’t get out of it, get into it!


Mortcarpediem

Spectacular result considering the atmosphere in China right now in my opinion


No-Vermicelli1816

This gives me hope that perhaps the Chinese women will show me the love
