With BOM numbers it was 25.5M Thursday. And since BOM is always having the lower numbers for some weird reason I think that OS is at 786.4M after thursday.

We have terrible weather in Poland this weekend so I don't expect a great hold anymore

NETHERLANDS - Week 1

Avatar scored one of the largest opening weeks of all-time. While not this year's best (that honor belongs to HP6) it did have 2nd largest outright 7-Day opening week gross, not including previews in both euros and USD.

NETHERLANDS - Week 2

Boosted by the Christmas frame, Avatar jumped a whopping 45%, more than any of the LOTRs pics did in their 2nd weeks. It's 2nd week gross was the largest of all-time and would actually rank as the 3rd largest 7-Day gross of all-time behind HP6 and Pirates 3's opening weeks.

NETHERLANDS - Week 3

Fantastic drop actually after a massive 2nd week. HP6 looks like a comparable movie from hear on out...HP6 finished with just over 11.1m euros and US$15.7m. It will need 15.5m Euros and $18.9m to dethrone ROTK.

Looking at the list of Top 10, they have ROTK's number incorrect. ROTK is above HP1 at 15.6m EUROS.

Avatar has a shot at the Top 10 and should have no problems passing Dead Man's Chest I think. It should be + / - HP6

Even if it's 0.01% i'll be happy

Well, Avatar is such a large movie with substantial grosses overseas 4 weeks into its' run, there's no precedent

Looks to drop in the vicinity of 40% this week i think to $80m-$90m i think.

AUSTRALIA (AUD$) - Weekend 3

Huge, 3rd weekend record of Shrek 2's easily broken. It's already surpassed the total of all but 3 movies all-time, Titanic (AUD$57m) and Shrek 2 (AUD$50m) and ROTK (AUD$49m)

........though take a look at this after 3 full weeks of play,

1 3 AVATAR (M), FOX [585/ $27,495] 16,084,370 -13% 54,901,294
2 2 SHERLOCK HOLMES (M), ROADSHOW [308/ $22,321] 6,874,732 -16% 15,084,626
3 2 ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKUEL (G), FOX [365/ $16,342] 5,964,901 -25% 13,905,284
4 2 OLD DOGS (PG), WALT DISNEY [271/ $10,813] 2,930,217 3% 5,805,211
5 2 THE LOVELY BONES (M), PARAMOUNT [178/ $13,960] 2,484,869 227% 3,245,816

Avatar added another AUD$6m from Mon-Wed. School holidays. It's now overtaken all movies with the exception of Titanic's AUD$57m record....which will easily be blown to smithereens this coming weekend. Avatar will surely be above $60m by Monday making it the first movie ever to do so with a trajectory of being the first movie above $70m as well.

This is huge i'm telling you. It's holding so well.

Here's how it performed over 3 weeks...

Weekend 1 - Avatar - $11,962,308 (or $12,895,497 incl. Wed p/v 5pm - 588 SC)
Full Week 1 - Avatar - $20,241,035
Weekend 2 - Avatar - $28,994,289 ($8,749,099, -27%)*Boxing or $32,594,716 ($12,349,526)*Monday
Full Week 2 - Avatar - $38,741,036 ($18,486,376, -4%)
Weekend 3 - Avatar - $48,426,852 ($9,659,700, +10%)*NY
Full Week 3 - Avatar - $54,901,294 ($16,084,370, -13%)

So any revised predictions for total international, domestic, worldwide?

So you predict a drop of over 60% in markets it's already playing in coz China's opening will contribute in the vicinity of $35m?

Why do i keep forgetting China. Yes $100m is a lock thanks for the correction NAZ

Domestic - $520m (or $550m with the Oscar Win)
International - $1.2billion (or $1.3billion with the Oscar Win)
Worldwide = $1.72billion (or $1.83billion with the Oscar Win)

Dude...there's absolutely no way it'll miss $1.85 billion WW or $600 million domestically as of now...

It'l have $1.3 billion WW by the end of this upcoming weekend. With Italy and the Oscars ahead.

In the USA it'll be at $425 million by the end of its 4th weekend and $475+ million by the end of the 4-day 5th weekend. It'll pass $500 million while still making $15+ million a weekend. How the hell can it stop at $520 million even without the Oscar?

I think by the time of the Oscars ceremony it'll be at $580+ million. Before a potential win.

#1 Domestic is a LOCK. #1 WW is a LOCK

I U

unfaithful whore


but yeah, dr. l

It's so strange that Australia with only 21m people is on par with markets with many times that population. It just goes to show how relatively few people in Europe and elsewhere actually go to the movies.

You know, I was wondering about the ROTR/HP1 thing too, but the only source I have for their numbers is that website, where there's a difference between ROTK's #'s on the all time list and on the all time opening list.

So confusing. If the €15.6 number is correct though, ROTK's admissions in the top999 are wrong too though, because it wouldn't beat HP1's gross even with higher ticket prices with only 1.81 million admissions.

EDIT: http://www.nvbinfocentrum.nl/uploads/fi ... tieken.pdf has an all-time list based on admissions. ROTK's only barely under HP1 with 2.077.000 admissions compared to HP1's 2.180.000. Given two years of inflation and far less kid's tickets, it should definitely be above HP1.

Luckily I have a top 100 of my own on my computer. Can't depend on BO sites at all...

Edit 2: The €15.6 million for ROTK isn't right either.

These are the admissions/revenue for the films released since 1999:

01 Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (NL + OV) 2.180.000 adm. € 15.357.000,00
02 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2.077.000 adm. € 16.406.000,00
03 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 1.891.000 adm. € 14.358.000,00
04 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (NL + OV) 1.883.000 adm. € 13.613.000,00
05 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 1.746.000 adm. € 13.570.000,00
06 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest 1.493.000 adm. € 10.525.000,00
07 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (NL + OV) 1.352.000 adm. € 10.999.000,00
08 Finding Nemo 1.347.000 adm. € 8.761.000,00
09 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (NL + OV) 1.322.000 adm. € 10.102.000,00
10 Alles is liefde 1.318.000 adm. € 9.910.000,00

Can't believe how close TTT is to HP2.

Can't believe that there's only three non-HP/non-LOTR in the top 10 over the past ten years when you look at the admissions in Holland, and only 2 if this year's HP6 is counted.

Diversity fail.

I can only wait for soooo long. I have needs, Box!
L met all of them last night & then some.

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap. ... weekend-ap

James Cameron's tale of humans and aliens in conflict on a distant world climbed to $429 million domestically, putting it at No. 6 on the all-time box-office chart. Worldwide, "Avatar" has streaked to $1.34 billion, second on the global revenue chart only to Cameron's "Titanic," which took in $1.8 billion.

So that means around 911 million international (429+911=1340)

holy crap, I expected a max of 880 overseas


it got a 911-781 = 130 million weekend overseas???

Holy Shit!! That would mean 130M from the weekend. That would be soooooo terrific. Man this lifts my estimates from 2B to 2.1B WW
