 Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 Yeah, as someone who spent his childhood in Russia/former Soviet Union, I can confirm that. No one went to cinemas at all during that time (my second cinema visit ever was at the age of 13), but people still watched the hell out of Hollywood movies, mostly on bootleg VHS.

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 That's a very strange way to just say 'cinemas' or 'theatres'. Preceding it with 'Hollywood' can only be taken one way - as in, the movie-making industry from the USA. I admire that you're trying to get out of a mistake. But it would be best to just admit that you made a booboo.

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 Failed to comprehend, lol. Everything you've said about China is just the basics of what is happening here now. It's not new. Everybody knows this shit. You made an error. Be a man, not a pussy, and own up. Or you could just use insults. Yeah, that shows your true mettle.  _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 I kept it light (see my "booboo" reply), then you called me a dickhead. If anybody is attacking someone, it's you. I understood what you said, and as I said before, it's a very strange way to convey your point. Even if you do not admit your mistake, you can at least agree with me that saying "Hollywood cinema" as a way to mean theatres in general is strange, as it alludes to the industry of American-made movies more than it does to the bricks and mortar of auditoriums.

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 You guys do realize with the lower 3d share and lower FX rate, that Fast 7 is likely the biggest global hit of the 2010's?

It didn't have lower 3D share in OS markets for sure. It also did great in IMAX. I definitely consider low FX as a big win for F7 though.

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 I am not sure in European markets but I am certain that F7 had a major push in 3D for Singapore, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia. I keep track of these markets from time to time so I am sure it was a 3D release in these markets. I believe it was a 3D release in China as well.

China grossed a huge percentage of its worldwide take. It matters significantly. If it were in 3D in the US, but nowhere else, I don't think you'd be saying it "barely played anywhere in 3D". _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

I wouldnt be, but only becasue the entire conversation was about OS grosses, not WW grosses. Had no idea it played in 3D in Mexico, though. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 Well I'm not sure how long this thread will last. Between SW, JW, and ID4, I have a hard time not seeing Furious toppled by the end of 2016.
ID4 is going to be MASSIVE!!! Can't wait.

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 Key for ID4 will be having a series of awesome teasers - perhaps one with Force Awakens this year. Plus they need to ensure they address any link to the original in the marketing.

Re: No movie will beat Furious 7 worldwide until Avatar 2 $511.8M worldwide, the biggest global debut in history Add in another $380 m domestically and JW is at $892 m. Consider JW did $308 m this weekend, I have a tough time not seeing it get $626 m to topple Fast 7. This may be Lector's shortest club ever of it being proved wrong.
