I wonder if Avatar can pass $500 mill domestically? Glad Revenge of the Fallen has fallen. ;)

425 after this wknd. It made about 73mill counting M-Sun this wk, so say the remaining wks we get 45, 30, 20, 12, 8...call the rest 10. Total 550 (probably top out around 560) If it gets some amazing holds it could approach 600, but it's unlikely imo. |

2) Nikke Finke says the movie's turnout, even at that rank, is considered "pretty good" by the studio. Before you say "tank" you have to consider what the expectation is. If nobody relevant views it as a failure, they'll keep casting him. Although, you know, they will anyway. |

1) Killing his career is going to be impossible, because he has a lot of young fans.

That is crazy! If Avatar can pull in $15 million on Sunday, it'll hit that $50 million level on its 4th weekend.

We went to see Avatar (again) yesterday in 3D. 3:30, a more than 3/4 theater. When we were leaving, the 7 p.m. line was out the door, and we saw at least one set of friends on their second viewing.

Re: Weekend Box Office 1/8-1/10: Avatar now #1 of '09
Does this mean there's a chance Cameron might be able to lay claim to the two highest grossing movies of all time if Avatar can keep doing solid? I don't see it overtaking Titanic, but Dark Knight is a possibility.

I'm not quite sure what the Yes and Nos are supposed to mean? I think Book of Eli and Edge of Darkness both have a good shot at bumping Avatar, but we'll see.
NO - Avatar falls to #2, #3 etc. |

Well, in terms of worldwide sales, he already has.
Don't forget it'll get a small bump after the Oscar nominations are announced, and it's got MLK Jr. day next Monday for another small payday. |

Re: Weekend Box Office 1/8-1/10: Avatar now #1 of '09
From BOG:
Avatar intl surges to $906M + $429M dom = $1.34B & rising fast. Now very likely to top Titanic as #1 global hit ever. |
Re: Weekend Box Office 1/8-1/10: Avatar now #1 of '09
Avatar only had a -29% drop this weekend. Wow. I wouldn't be surprised if the film ends up with less of a drop once actuals are out (since everyone has underestimated this film every week so far).
If the film were to lose all it's 2D screens over the next few weeks, that would mean almost absolutely nothing. Everyone I know, except one person, has seen it in 3D (some numerous times). If it only drops 30% again next weekend, we're looking at weekend five with $33-34 million and a domestic total gross of $480-485 million (depending on how well it does during the week). I'm going on a limb and we will see it cross the $500 million mark in weekend six with a $21-22 million weekend. ;) |
