I didn’t notice Avatar went back to 1 with the rerelease. This needs $3B to beat it. Fun to watch the numbers but I don’t care.
I wonder if James Cameron will do any films after these are done.

Pulled $20.4m yesterday for the biggest Wednesday of 2022. +42% from last Wednesday, more or less identical with No Way Home's 2nd Wednesday (though that had made $200m more at this point). It's apparently crushing it in France as well and is now at $1.1b ww.
Obviously the brakes will come in hard next week but it's doing pretty good. At its current rate it should make about $620m - $650m domestic, of course legs could change that.

It should be noted that while Avatar 2 is doing quite well (and should be doing so until at least mid-February), it's still not in the top 25 in worldwide grosses, nor the top 50 in domestic grosses. So let's not crown it quite yet.

I mean, it still has a shot at being a $2b disappointment depending on who you ask

So, this will be streaming in 2024? Giving Cameron false hope this will last in theaters for a year. 😂

I didn't realize what line this was at the time, and so I walked to the end where the crowds were going, thereby adding an hour+ to my wait.
River Journey was okay, but I used the Genie+ thing so I only had to wait like 10 minutes, otherwise no way I'm waiting for that one. Didn't get to do Everest, but wanted to. The Pandora food was great though.

Most public schools in the US are back on either the third of fourth I believe. Colleges go back the following week, so there's still some time to draw from that crowd.

Avatar 2's third Friday was +27% over its second Friday. Domestic box office should have passed $400M last night. Global box office should pass $1.5B by mid-week.

Looks like this will do well enough to break even and maybe turn a small profit. If nothing else, it proves there's still interest in the property.

We'll see what the post holiday drop is this week, but it looks like 2Billion is the floor now, with 2-2.2B in play. I think Avatar 4 and 5 are now guaranteed!

It's settling into its non-holiday rhythm now, down 57% from last Tuesday to $10.4m-ish

$45 million domestic 4th weekend (estimated, final may be higher). Down only 33% from last weekend (a holiday).
2nd biggest 4th weekend of all time, behind only Avatar 1.
