 Will Avatar claim the Dec. Opening Weekend Record?
It needs to beat 2007's I Am Legend ($77,211,321).
Tracking
I Am Legend: MTC - 64 , RS - 42 Avatar: MTC - 72, RS - Almost High 60's
The I Am Legend tracking definitely was a sign it was going to challenge Return of the King's Dec. OW record, and it ended up beating it.
The tracking for Avatar isn't quite as good (while higher, I Am Legend still had better tracking), but it is opening with weaker competition and is the first male oriented film in over a month, which should give it the boost to open above MTC's 72.
So, yes or no, will Avatar beat I Am Legend this weekend?

 Re: Will Avatar claim the Dec. Opening Weekend Record?
No.. Simply No.. I think AVATAR is the equivalence of how all the hoopla was over another internet fan driven movie titled "SNAKES ON A PLANE" and look how that did and with reviews ranging all over the board???

Exactly and once again you are proving why you are the prophet of box office.. these Cameron lovers have had the chance to hear the truth you have been speaking but remain ignorant to the FACTS.. the politics in this movie will turn everybody off and no one wants to see it.. who wants to see a film about tall blue feline alien elf smurfs with tales???? No one but a bunch of online freaks thats the sad reality..

The ones who are angry are the Cameron admirers who worship his every breath and want his dna and can't stand that he has made a movie that no one wants to see.. You know this sensai which is obvious by your comments on AVATARD.. Which are the only comments around here that are true and accurate about what WILL happen and I believe this..

I dunno who blue is but I suspect it is a double account of someone making fun of bkb. its super annoying to read bolded underlined posts.
Lecter, can you remove all formatting privileges for bkb and blue.

Tough call still, but the 3D and IMAX could really drive it over the top.

Comparing Avatar to Snakes on a Plane is just Foolish. Stop it. No.. Both are movies that have internet fanbases to drive the so called hype, like they did with SOAP and AVATAR seems the same way that it's the internet fanbase more into this than the general public..

 Re: Will Avatar claim the Dec. Opening Weekend Record?
Well, how they're supposed to know what the movie is about when they haven't seen the movie yet?
Anyway - I think a good omen would be if AVATAR opens to $73m-77m - that would be the second biggest December opening of all-time - a feat shared by TITANIC 12 years ago...
