 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
In the world of movies, men I find attractive are:
* Topher Grace (especially in In Good Company). Why oh why can't i find someone like this in real life. Dammit * Matthew MacFaden (as Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, gorgeous) * Orlando Bloom (especially in Lord of the Rings) * Christian Bale (especially wearing the suits in The Dark Knight)
Not to say that I don't find people like Daniel Craig (in James Bond), Johnny Depp (in Pirates), Robert Pattinson/Taylor Lautner (in Twilight) unattractive, they're just not my type. I'm more into the lean and sexy, romantic with a touch of masculinity.

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
After all these years i still don't know (or i've forgotten) what days the intl. weekend is comprised of, is it thu-sun or fri-sun? I know opening weekends can be 5-day or even more depending on how soon previews start but what about subsequent weekends?

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
Avatar is doing some good business today in Poland. Quite a suprise to be honest since usually no one goes to cinema on 25th. Next days look to be very good for the movie.

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
Avatar made good €2.1 million here in Holland during its opening week (after a €1.15 million opening). It's not Potter or Lord of the Rings, but it's good. I expect the movie to be quite leggy. People all around me seem to be interested in seeing it, even my mother asked when I was going to see it during Christmas dinner today, and she has the movie awareness of a piece of rock.

The intl weekend results are a mix of 2-5 day figures and reported screens can be either prints,screens or theatres , it all depends on how individual countries report , so its not a case of the opening weekend is different to other weeks (other than some counties add previews to opening weekend others don't, but intl 1st weekend includes previews even from countries that locally keep it seperate), there are at least 3 countries report 2 day, 7 report 5 days, 95-100 report either 3 or 4 day So its all a mix bag.

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
Quick note Australia is now over $aus22mil , Xmas eve was good and Xmas day which is not final will be the biggest xmas day ever (not many theatres open and usually from mid/late afternoon or early evening onwards, so limited). boxing day 26/12 which is quite often one of the biggest days of the year will be interesting what that takes, several other film open 26/12 (ltd sessions 25/12) Sherlock Homes being one.

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
I know what you mean... I went with a group of 6 people (boys & girls between the age of 20 and 43) and each and everyone wants to see it again. My 23 year old nephew was the only one who wanted to wait for the DVD but now his mother, whose last movie in theaters was FRIDA, wants to see it, so he's taking her...

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
Yup, Avatar is everywhere here right now. Every other friend of mine has seen it already. Most of the rest still wants to see it. A multiplex in Cologne I recently went to is playing it on four screens out of 14 and the night showings are selling out completely on the weekend.
It could manage to stay #1 here for five weeks with some luck.

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
Yup I do. I have seen other talk of the town films over the recent years yet we have seen no 9+ million flick since 2004. The Da Vinci Code was everywhere too when it came out.

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
No and thus it ended with even less than 6 million admissions. However it still had immense hype.
New Moon is one of those seeing-it-twice films for fans...not helping it too much.
Oh and of course Keinohrhasen which was quite a WoM hit and a lot of poeple were talking about it and seeing it many times...

 Re: Avatar (INTL.)
Well, I see AVATAR doing something like 5m admissions until January 10th and than it will show its legs in the 3D theaters thanks to no competion (CLOUDY will either be delayed or won't have any evening shows) and Oscar Noms in February...
What do you see until January 10th and altogether?
Opening week was 1.5m admissions after a 0.9m opening weekend...

Opening week was 1.5m admissions after a 0.9m opening weekend... Hmm, around 3.8-3.9 million until January 10th and probably around 5.5 million overall, depending on Cloudy's exposure. I don't think this film will benefit that much from the Oscars unless it actually wins BP.

Worldwide weekends are 5-Day openings, some countries report the full 5-Days, some report 4 days (i.e. Australia/New Zealand and some smaller Euro countries), others have 3-Days, while Japan is like 2-Days.

It's doing well in Netherlands, almost doubling it's opening weekend in the opening week is fantastic. It's up against some stiff competition from a local flick but should hold extremely well over the next weeks like almost every blockbuster launched during this time.
