DL: Avatar: The Way of Water set to conquer all business next weekend with a potential $200M domestic start Peter453 Dec 10, 11:28

Seems like a bit of a throwaway comment by Deadline but who knows {nm} Peter453 Dec 10, 11:29

Best of 2022 DRST2 Day 3 ~188m Day 24 ~411m, even with 200m D3 & a better hold + Christmas/NY, 517m D24 looks unlikely Tallwonder Dec 10, 11:40

Your comparing DS2 hold with Avatar 2? I really dont think its comparable at all {nm} Peter453 Dec 10, 11:48

Superhero movies are very very frontloaded these days. Avatar 2 will not play out that way. {nm} Peter453 Dec 10, 11:49

Luiz Fernando: Avatar 2 15M pre sales in China, 2x F9 (which did 136M OW in China) Peter453 Dec 10, 12:09

Only because of the holidays... but I also think that will keep it from opening over $200 million. The Weekend Warrior Dec 10, 12:43

Do read the entire mesg. If I was plotting its nos in line with DSTR2 I wouldn't put the nos I did, no other blockbuster collapsed likeDSTR2 Tallwonder Dec 10, 12:08

People want to avoid spoilers with superhero movies thats why so frontloaded. I think Avatar 2 will be more like TGM. (IMO) {nm} Peter453 Dec 10, 12:12

What are you thinking for OW and 24 day total? I think 180/650 at this stage for me {nm} Peter453 Dec 10, 12:16

This is how I estimate D24 BO - for Peter453 (in case your Q was for me) Tallwonder Dec 11, 08:12

Of course what happens in the game (like stock markets) often isnt related to how the movie will do Tallwonder Dec 11, 08:24

517/200= 2.58 which is very doable for the holiday season. {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 13:38

Is that meant for me? I don't think it wiill open near $200m... Black Panther missed that mark and that was a sequel to a similar-sized hit. {nm} The Weekend Warrior Dec 10, 19:59
