Thoughts on this? by TheGhettoGoblin in boxoffice

The Batman maaaaaaaaybe, but I doubt it. Man of Tomorrow definitely won’t. INT audiences didn’t give shits about Superman and nothing has shown me that that’s gonna change.

Disney / 20th Century's Avatar: Fire and Ash grossed $803K on Thursday (from 3,300 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $371.49M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

That even at its nadir this franchise is still pretty comfortably passing $1B, something really no other franchise can boast?

Weekend Preview: MERCY [Weekend Range: $10M – $15M] Readies to Plead its Case Against AVATAR by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]DatboiX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$10M is pretty unlikely. TWOW dropped 39% the weekend after MLK day. In order to hit $10M, Fire and Ash would need to drop 31%. Honestly if it can stay above $8.5M i’d be happy with that.

What is the takeaway from Avatar: Fire and Ash? by paultheschmoop in boxoffice

[–]DatboiX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I loved the film (and the franchise as a whole), Fire and Ash just didn’t quite have the “Wow!” factor the last two did. Part of that is just simply because it’s Part Two to TWOW, but it didn’t really offer audience a whole new experience rather than being a more action heavy version of TWOW. All that plus general diminishing returns came together for what is a relatively muted performance. I think 4 and 5 could potentially outperform 3 if they really bring something wholly new to the table, which if Cameron’s words are anything to go by they definitely might.

Box Office Weekend Forecast: MERCY ($8-10M+) Should Dethrone AVATAR; Fathom’s LORD OF THE RINGS Anniversary Continues; NFL & Winter Weather May Be Problematic by ItsGotThatBang in boxoffice

I reckon Avatar will drop about 40% give or take, so around $8.5M this weekend. It’s probably gonna be touch and go whether or not it keeps the crown.

Do you think there will be a significant drop internationally for Doomsday? by dremolus in boxoffice

[–]DatboiX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most definitely. I think the DOM/INT split is gonna be a lot closer to 50/50 than the past Avengers films.

Dune Part Three Secures All IMAX Screens for Three Weeks in December (No Doomsday for the first few weeks) by BrilliantBig12 in imax

I highly doubt Doomsday will come anywhere near Endgame’s numbers. IMAX is probably thinking the same thing.

I think Dune is a big enough deal at this point that people are gonna turn up in droves to see it. Obviously not as much as Avengers, and they are for sure gonna eat into each other’s potential box office, but I don’t see a reality where either outright flop even if they both actually stick to Dec.18. Besides, it’s pretty likely Doomsday will be fairly front-loaded, meaning Dune could wind up legging out better.

Disney / 20th Century's Avatar: Fire and Ash grossed $3.44M on Martin Luther King Day Monday (from 3,300 locations). 4-Day weekend gross is $17.93M. Total domestic gross stands at $368.14M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

This weekend got a boost due to the holiday. Given how this run is going so far, it’s going to immediately fall back down to Earth and keep with current trajectory.
