Exactly.. just like comparing Avatar to Titanic isn't fair...

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Jan 16, 10:56 in response to grengrad's post You cannot compare Gone With The Wind to a modern movie

but comparing Avatar to Dark Knight is perfectly fair cause the latter had IMAX showings as well and ticket prices weren't *THAT* far apart.

Nikki: Eli with $12M Fri., Avatar $10.5M, Bones with $6.2M islander Jan 16, 06:17

Avatar will still win the weekend, probably with $44-45 million. {nm} secretstalker Jan 16, 06:30

50+ easily. The im's for family films past MLK wknds have been redunkulous (5.9 for Kangaroo Jack, 5.2 for nmus) {nm} islander Jan 16, 06:34

I don't think Avatar has been doing normal family film internal mults in past weeks so probably more like 4.5 for the weekend {nm} secretstalker Jan 16, 06:35

Its all good. Everyhting it makes now is just extremley yummy gravy on that Hoilday warrant islander Jan 16, 06:38

So it will most likely beat tiatnic for biggest 5th weekend, beat the bat for fastest to 500mm, if next weekend holds up sneak Jan 16, 06:38

The crazy thing is that it not only will beat the Bat for fastest to 500 mil... but it's only the third movie to hit that amount domestic {nm} secretstalker Jan 16, 06:39

when I look at inflation adjusted numbers I can't fathom gone with the wind; wonder how ticket prices compared sneak Jan 16, 06:52

There are some that question the inflation-adjusted number based on the number of re-releases and how they all fit together. Jelly Jan 16, 07:41

Also, Gone With the Wind was re-released at least half a dozen times over the years. {nm} Salieri Jan 16, 08:55

True there are more options now, but ticket Prices during GWTW were like 25 cents, you can't deny the staying that movie.. {nm} JRAVENTERPRISE Jan 16, 12:50

If AVATR has the same increase as last saturday and same decrease as last sunday (see inside) tonyj1 Jan 16, 07:06
