NO. Only till Tuesday 29th

I wouldn't be surprised if it stayed flat compared to last weekend ($145 million I believe) or increases. I believe theatres were actually closed on Christmas Day in some countries, and New Year's is more of a "Let's go to the cinema!" day than Christmas over here, at least.

not a chance, the tally was monday and tuesday.

kewlness

I'm not sure, wednesday could be included.

Ya I can see that happening but I would rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.

BOM says till 29th. Maybe it includes wednesday number for some markets but I doubt it. If the weekdays domestically are any indication then it should be performing better overseas than last week.

When did BOM update OS numbers for the weekdays last week, on the same day or a day after?

Shit, let me make it more clear what a meant. Say tuesday grosses, did BOM add those on tuesday or wednesday?

I'm being very generous here...

$250m + $20m (wed) + $20m (Thu) + $60m for the weekend = $350m Domestic by Sunday (very generous)

And overseas, even if it doesn't include wednesday's gross

$476m + $30m (Wed) + $130m (weekend) = $630m

Would still be short WW...

I'm thinking more like $340-350m Domestic + $610-$630m.

Though the Sunday grosses will be deflated slightly because it's back to work in most countries.

BJ, you gravitate too easily towards those who say Avatar will gross 1 TRILLION dollars

BOM says as of 29th December 2009, which I believe means BO gross as of 29th December 2009.

lol who cares who would have thought it would start so small and than already be knocking out ROTK by its 4th weekend???

Meanwhile, "Avatar" continues to show strong legs at the Indian box office having collected $10.7 million in 10 days of release, including $2.1 million in its second weekend. The 3D version accounts for 25% of the film's B.O.

Not sure if this has been posted, interesting articule on the percenteage of 3D grosses in India....compared to a whopping 70% in the US

HAH! Variety had to release a press statement about 3 Idiot's phenomenal BO.

Well there are only 58 screens in India playing Avatar in 3D so that shouldn't come as a surprise. However, by end of next year we should have 100+ 3D screens.

Paris Wednesday 80865 tickets(+15%)

True, but I still expect it to pretty much match the gross from the Christmas weekend. Last year the comparable weekend (last weekend of the Christmas holidays) saw little to no decreases in many markets, and that didn't have the added boost from New Year's Day.

Positive thoughts, Archie!

I wish you well Evil

Avatar's 2nd week is 3rd biggest week EVER! (so of course, biggest 2nd week ever)

behind New Moon OW and DMC's OW

this is just out of the world..

HAH! Egyptian boxoffice.

WOW< 2012 is not doing that bad too inEqypt, very big grosses,

Wow...if New Moon's first week was bigger than Avatar's second..but New Moon is only at $2.2 million now...how much did it crumble after the opening?

New Moon's BO in Egypt
1st week - 1,043,308 (1.098m incl. p/v)
2nd week -48.5%
3rd week - 43.6%
4th week - 33%
5th week - 39%

don't forget, we do week-to-week box office, not the weekend

Hmm and what about 2012 box-office?

for a movie without any redeeming qualities, avatar does quite well. then again, so did many other movies without any redeeming qualities (such as that other one by cameron 2.0).
