That is a great opening and proves that the franchise is only gaining momentum.

Second one opened a bit over 2x the ow of the first. This one is opening near 2x of that one. It has really good momentum and is great to see.
Not really. It's kinda like watching a really good thread backfire or an overconfident prediction turning out wrong. It's all in good fun. Hell I was one of the people jumping on the 3B train and I still think it would be fun to watch. Looking forward to the avatar betting thread being bumped if and when that happens.
I'm looking forward to international numbers as well. At least here in Australia it seems to be getting more of a wide opening and I could see it growing significantly.
JW1 to JW3 went from 2.8 million to 3.1 million or so. I could see JW3 possibly doing more than double that number.
She was great in it.
What's it about?
Very well deserved since it's the greatest action series of our time.
Looking forward to the heavily hinted 4th one if the 3rd one does well enough. Also whatever "cinematic universe" that comes with the territory since there's just so much to explore.
The amusing thing is so few movies are shot in 3D or designed for 3D these days (virtually none) it's quite possible Avatar doesn't have to do anything particularly revolutionary these days to impress.
We know part of it takes place underwater.
We know China loves Avatar.
We know China loves weird underwater shit.
1+1=2
It's maths!
There's nothing weird to hope for the most entertaining outcome. It would be the biggest slice of schadenfreude this box office community has ever seen.
I'm fairly certain Endgame will crawl its way past Avatar though.

I prefer The Jungle Book, but I agree that it's highly underrated.
It's one of those cheesy sports movie, and it's pretty damn good.
Looking at the dailies for avatar and by the end of March it starts dropping below a million a day even on weekends yet stays in theaters until July. It goes quite a while making around 100,000 or less a day
Would Disney keep things going like that to match it?

John Wick 3 did phenomenally. Already more than the first one made in the US total, and nearly double the second one's opening weekend. Don't think we'll have to worry about if a fourth film will happen

Look at the day of releases. On day 100 for IW, a Saturday at that, it pulled in $102, 563. Meanwhile, Avatar's 100th day, coincidentally also a Saturday, pulled in $870,290.
Very different runs.
Think that's a bit harsh. I found it was genuinely funny throughout and that Rogen & Theron really sold it. Reviews mostly echoed the same thing. I think it deserved better too.

I'll never understand how avatar made so much money. Only thing I can think of is the 3D, cause damn if that movie ain't average as all hell.
And going off reported production budgets, Avatar was also made for $120m less than Endgame, which is impressive AF because of how much of the film is pure CGI.
I mean, a majority of the budget for Endgame was obviously the cast.
That's why they barely have screentime throughout the Avengers films. They can't afford every single star at their normal salary.
Yeah, Li Gong said that the live action Mulan has the biggest budget ever for Disney with around $300+ million. She may be wrong but if it's true then Disney seems to be banking hard on this one.

I'm pretty sure this remake is going to not get positive reception from fans either. They are changing a ton.

Black Panther and Last Jedi are in Dolby Vision. But that is all I think.
The point of Mulan is to break the Disney live action movies into the Chinese market, so they're changing the story to be more like the actual legend than the cartoon was, and hoping the American audience will just go along with it while the Chinese audience eats it up. It's a fair bet to make, but we'll have to see if it works out for them.
WW numbers haven't been updated yet have they ? It should be ~100 million short by now.
Getting rid of the musical numbers is the best decision they made for the Mulan remake.
Is there a graph of cumulative gross for the two movies side by side?
How in the hell can Avengers not make up $200m globally in 4 more weeks in theaters?
