the other Prophets taught me how to do delists. I don't do the super detailed delist estimates as I find you don't really need to be that precise to play the game. This gentleman can explain much better then I ever could. Plus he types much faster then I do. You guys missed some awesome discussions while they patiently beat some sense of numbers into my head.

Back in the day too many years to actually think back on . Holy moly has it been that long I've known you, and back then what we called The Night Crew. Most of whom are over at ST still posting thankfully.

Seems like Monday's box office for Avatar is the real indicator for whether it has a shot at Dark Knight and even Titanic domestic. mcreilly62 Jan 05, 06:42

Take a look at the reports at the bottom of the board - this one's not trailing off anytime soon. Novice Jan 05, 07:14

Actually, all Avatar needs to do from here on in is dropoff proprtionately to what The Prince of Egypt did in 1999 to beat The Dark Knight. Inigo Jan 05, 07:17

interesting comparison - hadn't gone through all the numbers; pretty interesting inside mcreilly62 Jan 05, 07:49

IMHO, even if Avatr did $11M on Monday, it is unlikely it will surpass the Dark Knight. My schedule shows 7.5M for Monday. It will be grammar Jan 05, 07:21

You haven't done any real calculations if you believe Avatar won't pass Dark Knight with an $11 million Monday. {nm} Inigo Jan 05, 07:24

The both of youse is crazy nuts. PRNCE was a family flick, which is why it plunged 71%; If AVATR doesn't beat $7.5m, I'll eat my shirt. Novice Jan 05, 07:43

Let me explain it more clearly. Yes, yes. I know the genre differences between AVATAR and Prince of Egypt. Follow me here. Inigo Jan 05, 07:57

ha - had just posted identical analysis above; yeah, looking at prince of egypt, hard to see how it doesn't beat dark knight. {nm} mcreilly62 Jan 05, 07:59

This is a very good post, excellent info, thinking and analysis - big up! {nm} Toruk Facto Jan 05, 09:50

Excuse me? ? {nm} grammar Jan 05, 07:51

Show me a rational calculation where a $11 million Monday for Avatar leads to less than $533 million domestically. Inigo Jan 05, 08:05

Avatr Calcs Inside: (for what it's worth) :) grammar Jan 05, 08:19

I thought you had Monday at $7.5? And why the sharp dropoff on Wed/Thur? {nm} Novice Jan 05, 08:24

I have 2 different schedules .. one based on I am Legend and the other The Day After Tomorrow (which comes up to a delist of $415.69). grammar Jan 05, 08:28

You shouldn't be using schedules that don't fit. Avatar is a phenomenon that can't be compared to I am Legend or TDATomorrow Toruk Facto Jan 05, 09:14
