DL: ‘Avatar: The Way Of Water’ Thursday Box Office Around $17M In First Look Dec 15, 18:25
If that holds I can't see that reaching a 150 OW. Dec 15, 18:26
Why 8.5? Why not 10 and 170M. JURA4 was 11.5x {nm} Dec 15, 18:34
"Alexa, what was the run time on Jurassic Park 4?" 'The run time of Jurassic World is 124 minutes.' Dec 15, 18:47
runtime shouldn't be an issue. AVNG4 was over 3 hrs. {nm} Dec 15, 20:09
Endgame was playing 24 hours a day at numerous theaters. 4AM shows were sold out. Is that happening with Avatar? Dec 15, 21:19
BPNT2 is also nearly 3 hrs. Runtime is not a limiting factor. If demand is there, showtime will be added. {nm} Dec 15, 23:00
If it doesn't do 170+, it's not because of runtime. {nm} Dec 15, 23:05
DL is wrong, first shows were 3pm today, not 7pm. JP:D was 4pm (but in Summer so probably balances out) Dec 15, 18:48
JURA4 was 7 years ago when previews were a much smaller thing. Last 1 was 18/145 (8x) {nm} Dec 15, 18:48
STAR7 did $57M in previews 7 years ago, the second bigggest ever. {nm} Dec 15, 19:35
JUR4 previews started at 7pm. No comparison to A2 starting at 3pm (or 4pm is it?) {nm} Dec 15, 19:41
DL says adv ticket sales are not frontloaded. Sat and Sun will be strong. Dec 15, 19:52
Recent comps $19.260 M TOP GUN MAVERICK $126.707 M 3 DAY Dec 15, 18:51
The Batman $21.600 M $134.009 M 3 day (but also all those crazy fan-first shows). TOP GUN also had those. {nm} Dec 15, 18:52
Both those references and BPNT2 had 6.5X internal mult from Thursday previews {nm} Dec 15, 18:58
Yep. Exhibition sticks too {nm} Dec 15, 19:23
and stocks. Sticks and stocks {nm} Dec 15, 19:24
Thankfully, M3GAN is only a few weeks away! {nm} Dec 15, 19:25
