Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) Germany (admissions):
893,169 1st weekend
857,286 2nd weekend
800,000 3rd weekend
Total by Sunday should be very close to 4m mark...
I expect a post holiday drop to 600,000 in its 4th weekend which would translate into 5m admissions after 25 days...
In US-$ AVATANIC should be at $55m by Sunday and $69m next Sunday...

Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) I have a strange feeling that my 2nd WE 400k adm. prediction for Poland is going to be a big underestimation.  Let's just say that this weekend winner might be on level with last year similar weekend winner if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) With the weekend gross being very close to $70m (WOW), this will surely be above $1billion with international receipts now.

Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) When is it beating ROTK? This Thursday? Friday at the latest.
And this is a far inferior film to Titanic, ROTK, and TDK. Those had at the least compelling narratives. Avatar stripped of the special effects (which will wear off with time) it's a profoundly shallow, juvenile film. It's like a fucking 12-year old boy wrote it.

Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) Let's not get sentimental say things which are not true at all. I know that Avatar is not a great movie but still I would say that it has some compelling power of its own. I mean in the end you don't deny Jake going to the other side right?
It is just that these movies are the ones we are connected sentimentally and the day will soon come when we will be connected to Avatar as well.

The film is visually compelling but tedious.  absolutely hilarious the way you wrote this. The point is that in this movie it is compelling and so it is not a stupid movie at all. But yes ROTK and Titanic in my opinion are far better than this. Then again ROTK requires a backup of 2 movies which again leaves me to Titanic..(sighs) my dear.....there is still a chance I guess. Be positive

Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) I can't deal with that number. It's just too much for me to handle right now. I wonder how much Titanic would've made.

Re: Avatar (INTL.) - $809.1m Worldwide (#23) Yay!
But let's face it, with a potential market of 1.3B, Titanic won't be in the top 1,000 in 50 years, heh.
Any chance you know the admissions for Titanic?

And 360m yuan represented 1/4 of that year's total box office in China. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

I'm assuming ticket prices are far too high for most people in China to afford going to the movies on a frequent basis, right? Or is that just true in the big cities? xiayun wrote: And 360m yuan represented 1/4 of that year's total box office in China. Now THAT is a big deal. Titanic drew roughly 1/3rd of North America's population, but accounted for less than 10% of the total box office. Even in France, where the film had almost 21m admissions out of a population of around 57m, it didn't get that high a percentage of the total admissions. Amazing. I wonder if it attracted a bigger share of the total box office anywhere else. Maybe Brazil. _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs.
