Avatar will likely beat TDK 51 million and end up near the grosses of the LOTR films.

You've got an all-time list for Canada by some chance?

Author:  Mandeep [ Mon Jan 04, 2010 1:16 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Canadian B.O. 2010 (AVATAR up 6 %)

its Titanic followed by ROTK,TTT and FOTR at 60, 56 and 54 million and than Spiderman at 52 million and TDK at 51 million and TPM at 50 million.


The numbers for LOTR and Spiderman and TPM were from a Toronto Star article from 2004, that is no longer online and the TDK number is from Tribute.ca

Post subject:  Re: Canadian B.O. 2010 (AVATAR up 6 %)

Avatar should at least beat TTT and probably just edge past ROTK.

Avatar will likely cross 60 million.

Impressive, I think Titanic will be tough but Avatar made 10 million over the past week.

If it keeps dropping like that it would go like this....

51.21
56.84
61.05 million

:funny: :funny: :funny:


I don't know, but Canada is a leggy market.

I think 60 million is assured, as unlike in the States big films can dominate for a long time.

TTT was number one for 7 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Avatar will stick around for a while, so I think Titanic is in danger and that's impressive as Titanic gross is actually much higher ratio wise than in the US!!

Considering the film was an all time hit in Canada, and had so many Canadian connections, its quite amazing considering even films like TDK came no where near it.

LOTR films did really well but LOTR did really well in English Speaking Countries and in Western and Northern Europe.

What connections were there, besides James Cameron and Celine Dion (singing the theme) being from Canada?

that's it...

Titanic is a well known story here...

The theme song was insanely hugely popular.

Post subject:  Re: Canadian B.O. 2010 (AVATAR down 12 %)

Avatar drops 9% with a weekend down to 5.1 million for a gross of 51.91 million.


It destroys TDK in only 5 weekends.

Titanic is going down..

It is making weekends that are now much higher than in the US (ratio wise) and should end up with much better legs.

Titanic is easily going down and a gross of 77.5 million is assured and that's with 40% weekly drops!!!!!!

I guess the french canadians are to blame. For some reason the french seem to be obsessed with Avatar. :D ;)

Post subject:  Re: Canadian B.O. 2010 (AVATAR down 10 %)

Not even that, Avatar is doing well all across the country.

When a huge blockbuster comes here it dominates for weeks and weeks and gets a massive gross and leaves everything else behind.

Avatar will remain number 1 for 8 weekends here,
