DL: AVATAR 2 looking at 55 million Friday, some still see 150 million possible, some see as low as $120 million. Dec 16, 13:52
120 million = rivers of blood (7.1x Thursday multiplier, still better than Wakanda Forever) {nm} Dec 16, 13:56
120 is probably very close to the admissions of 2009's $77m. Dec 16, 13:58
140 makes sense {nm} Dec 16, 14:00
Jatinder; From early looks of it, ~$36M FRI for #AvatarTheWayOfWater in US/CAN. Now projected to reach $130-140M weekend. Dec 16, 17:36

Oops, sorry NotFabio. {nm} Dec 16, 13:02
saves his StarBond. {nm} Dec 16, 13:07
Well maybe, if both Kraven & El Muerto are Morbius level bombs at some point you would think they would stop trying. {nm} Dec 16, 13:10
Didn't Donald Glover already appear in a Spider-Man movie... as the Prowler? {nm} Dec 16, 13:13
Yeah but that was flash in the pan MCU! Not the guaranteed goldmine that is Sony's Marvel Universe. {nm} Dec 16, 13:24

Mary Stuart Masterson joins Five Nights at Freddy's [5NAFD] Jan 30, 12:22
V: AVAT2 $17 million in previews Dec 16, 08:35
Disney down about 1.5% (Netflix up about 0.75%), Cinemark down about 4% AMC down about 8%, Marcus only down about 1.5% {nm} Dec 16, 08:59
There really should be a "Theater Chain Derivative" on HSX that goes up and down based on the real stock market. {nm} Dec 16, 09:00
The thing is that $17m is not bad at all... this was never gonna be a $200m opener. {nm} Dec 16, 08:59
Scream did it on a 4-day holiday weekend. {nm} Dec 16, 09:11

Can they get a tax write-off for the deleted scene? {nm} Dec 16, 08:16
They should be able to, but not the full amount they would if they didn't release THE FLASH at all. Dec 16, 09:35
Yeah it was about that. They filmed him separately. {nm} Dec 16, 09:37
So like the BLAD2 of ESCNY. Are they hoping to bring back KRUSS? {nm} Dec 16, 07:45
He actually said like their Scream. {nm} Dec 16, 07:49
It's a requel!!! Will Radio Silence get a bond? {nm} Dec 16, 07:51
They better name the villain Mongoose this time {nm} Dec 16, 08:12
