    Although we all thought an increase would be in the cards for Boxing Day, perhaps we should be using The Hobbit 3 (2014) as a baseline rather than a blueprint. A3 has already shown it isn’t even following H3 all that much percentage-wise anyway.

    Furthermore, we’d all do well to remember that Avatar movies perform anomalously; they can’t even be compared to themselves. Only thing we CAN predict is that a snowstorm will affect it in someway, lol.

    Why is everyone bugging out over a ~$5M difference in gross?

    Also, sounds like the Stranger Things finale on NYE will be this Avatar launch’s snowstorm that could dampen its gross that day. 😜

    Just multiple the opening weekend by 5 and you'll be right around where the film's final box office will be. You don't need to look back at Return of the King from 20+ years ago.

    Times the opening weekend by 5 and call it a day lol.

    Not gonna lie, if this comes under 450M domestic, that is a underwhelming. Yeah, overseas is much stronger but that DOM number would be meh for an Avatar movie, no matter how you slice it.

    IMO that’s more of a statement about the box office in 2025 vs Avatar. Biggest domestic total of the year is Minecraft at $423M

    But overall box office remained about the same from 2024

    Why about domestic? 2025 had probably had an overall stronger year than 2024 and I expect 2026 to outperform 2025, but even in 2024 only Deadpool and Wolverine and Inside out 2 surpassed $500M domestic. For context Deadpool 1 and 2 both were domestic kings given it being a R rated standalone comic book movie, so it wasn’t surprising when you added it to MCU with Wolverine it went bananas.

    Please don't forget that Avatar had a massive increase on Christmas day while other movies had drops or smaller increases. Also, expect Avatar to drop on Saturday from the Friday increase. I think it will barely hit 60 if at all. And no, the storm had no impact in my opinion as it would have affected other films as well, not just Avatar.

    People saying the snow has no affect clearly don't live in snowy areas. I had to go 20mph home from work last night because it was so bad.

    Not particularly great. Not bad either. Its a nothing number. It will have a good run over the holidays but die fast after those end. This won't have the legs of Way of Water.

    The weird cope in this sub is crazy. The amount of excuses and clinging to the smallest good news is pathetic. I’d love for it to make 2B but it’s not. Max 1.2-1.4B worldwide. Its domestic numbers are flat out disappointing. Anyone that follows box office can easily see this so take off your rose colored glasses.

    Nope. If you could read, I said I want it to hit 2B. I’m rooting for it to succeed but it’s clearly not connecting with audiences like the other 2. But people on here are so sensitive. It’s pathetic and sad

    If Google was your idea, surely you’d know how to use it to look up the week to week drops for the first two avatar films, and apply that to this movie’s very likely performance. Thinking that it will end its run under $1.4b or even $1.5b is insane lol

    Past performance doesn’t mean it will perform the same. And it’s currently having larger drops than the past 2. Stop living in a fantasy world and go outside you bum.

    The fuck? Fire and Ash had a 33% drop between week 1 and 2 and TWoW had a 52% drop, maybe you should go outside touch some grass it will do you good

    Dumbass, way of water opened to 134m. Ofc it was going to have a larger drop. The fact that fire and ash isn’t going to beat its 63m 2nd weekend is sad

    You think the max is $1.4B? A conservative estimate would project like $1.5B whereas I’ve been at the $1.7B-$1.8B since the opening weekend. $1.2B is absurd it’ll hit $1B next week lol.

    It’s blowing past 1.2B. It’ll be at that by MLK weekend. It’ll have 2-3 more months in theaters beyond that. 

    I think 1.6B is the conservative estimate here and if late legs are good 1.8-1.9 is on the table.
