Yup. Tonight is the night.
A2's lead after Thursday (Day 77): $382,711.
Maverick made $1,976,161 on Day 78.
A2 won't make $1 Million.
A2's Friday Projection: $776,000
Maverick takes the Domestic lead by $817,450 on Day 78.

Unless the studio's projections for the weekend are wrong, Maverick will have a $3.1 Million lead on Avatar 2 after 80 days once the weekend numbers come in on Monday.

Real Weekend 12 are in...
A2's total after Day 80: $670,702,473
Maverick's total after Day 80: $673,724,507
Maverick is now ahead of A2 in the Domestic Theater Counts by $3,022,034 and will never look back.
By Day 87 Maverick made just shy of another $10 Million. A2 will be lucky to make $4 Million by Sunday night, so Maverick should be up somewhere close to $9 Million in another week.
Gains will be quick from now on and A2 should be booted out of US theaters long before Maverick's 203 day long run.
I'll probably only post here once a week from now on for updates.
I'd like to get this thread to 100 posts though so I can throw this thread back in his face whenever Second posts about the amount of posts I made about Joker out of context in the future.
DAY 42:
DAY 80:
Congratulations, Maverick.

Day 83: Maverick's lead is $4,949,540.
It will be about $5.5 M going into the weekend.
Probably won't be $9 M after the weekend though. I think I aimed a tad high on that one.
More likely in the range of $8.3 to $8.5 Million.

So if A2 can't make up ground on the weekends going forward, it's now a game of attrition.
And I suspect that while it was a great boon for Avatar 2 to have such high ticket prices in the beginning, it's going to be a detriment on the back end. Not only that, but large scale theaters with IMAX screens and 3D cost more to operate and are likely to be shutdown to this movie sometime soon as the per-screen average continues to fall... much quicker than it did for Maverick.
A2 loses 625 theaters this week (Week 13), down to 1,675. Maverick was still being shown in 2,969 on week 13, and had made $400 more per theater in week 13 than A2 was making in week 12 when A2 was still being shown in 2,300 theaters. Maverick was still being shown in 3,181 theaters on week 12.

Quote:. . . the rebellious Maverick never questions the value of the mission itself, which could easily be an opening salvo of a major war.

The subtext of bombing a nuclear enrichment site, which could very well be in Iran, is a striking choice that betrays a bellicose worldview. It revives the neoconservative conception of preventive warfare — the idea of using force to eliminate threats to American power before they can emerge. . . . It’s also a particularly loaded scenario to portray at a time when, in the real world, the Iran nuclear deal is hanging by a thread and hawks are eager to scrap diplomatic efforts and green light bombardment of the country.
In other words, it’s a fantasy of war that could actually play out in real life. And it truly is a fantasy: War is portrayed purely as a source of glory and camaraderie for Maverick and his colleagues, who are all attractive people and manage to pull off their daring mission with zero casualties. Their training involves speed, sport and glamour; Cruise spends his spare time on a majestic sail boat for some reason. Much of the movie has the feel of a racing or sports movie, gamifying the use of lethal technology and geopolitical intervention as a contest of precise oneupmanship.
“Don’t think, just do,” Maverick constantly counsels his protégé Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, underscoring the movie’s plea for the audience to be mindless about combat. Maverick means to refer to the value of a pilot’s instinct, but he’s also asking his students to suspend their ability to think critically about the purpose of the institution they’re in.

You've never thought critically once in your life, dipshit. Why don't you stick to cheerleading war with Russia in the RWED, you warmongering, Neo-Lib waste of carbon.

Back in 1990, four years after the first “Top Gun” came out, Playboy magazine grilled Cruise by challenging him on whether the original "Top Gun" movie was dangerous war propaganda. Playboy’s interviewer described the movie as “war by Nintendo game and a paean to blind patriotism.” Cruise defended the movie as “an amusement park ride, a fun film with a PG-13 rating that was not supposed to be reality.” But he also seemed to acknowledge that there were still dangers to using a war movie as a form of mindless entertainment. He continued: “That’s why I didn’t go on and make Top Gun II and III and IV and V. That would have been irresponsible.”
