Avatar 2 loses 310 more theaters and sits at 365 theaters for Weekend 17.

Maverick was still being shown in 2,604 theaters in Weekend 17.


I'm downgrading my weekend prediction for A2 to $500-$600k, which would make Week 17 its first week under $1 Million by Thursday.

Maverick's lead is now $21,319,076, so unless A2 made $155,551 on Thursday night, which is highly unlikely, Maverick will lead by the $21.5 Million I said it would going into Weekend 16.


Maverick's numbers level out quite a bit from here on out, but especially with only a theater count of 675 for A2 it should still be taking in close to 3 times as much per day as A2 until A2 is kicked out of theaters.

At least 3 days this week A2 should make less than 100k per day, and Maverick was still seeing $200 to $400k per day for the next to weeks and $2.2 to $2.5 Million per weekend.

This will most likely be A2's first Sub-$1M weekend.



Weekend: $873,827

Monday: $93,192
Tuesday: $125,321
Wednesday: $50,136
Thursday: $72,937

Yup and Yup.

I don't know if it will even hit $500k this weekend.

Friday's Projection: $147,000


I don't see how A2 could even hit my $689 Million prediction now with only 365 theaters showing it and time running out. It will have a little more than $682.5 Million by the end of the weekend. I'll be a lot closer than Bruce's $660 Million prediction though.

After a visit to Hell’s Gate, the Na’vi children succumb to a virulent illness and as the affliction escalates, so do accusations of betrayal and malice. Grace must navigate human politics to work with the Na’vi to find a cure . . . but can they trust her? Collects Avatar: Adapt or Die #1-#6.

Avatar 2's 17th Weekend Take: $466,008

Avatar 2 - Day 115: $682,633,858

Maverick - Day 115: $709,117,033

Maverick's lead on Day 115: $26,483,175




My guess is that it will make somewhere in the area of $225k between Monday and Thursday.

It took 13th place on Friday, 11th place on Saturday and 10th place on Sunday.

I don't think they'll take it out of theaters just yet, so I expect to still see it in theaters next weekend. Compared to Maverick's 2,604 theaters that it was still being shown in on Day 115, Avatar has the benefit of only being shown now in 365 theaters. It's actually making about 70% more per theater per day right now than Maverick was, despite its much lower overall daily gross.

I still think that it's probably worth it to some theater owners (particularly the large chains with their Megaplex locations) to keep this one going for a while, and I do believe that it could stay somewhere in the area of 150 to 200 theaters for quite some time, especially if its on bigger screens like IMAX if they don't have anything better to show, and people want to get one last fix of the spectacle on the big screen before it's only available at home where nobody is going to bother watching it since without the special effects it's trite Mickey Mouse bullshit.

I think the idea that it could hang on long enough to crack $700 Million is a fading dream at this point, but maybe they could keep it going for 203 days like they did for Maverick in just a handful of theaters and possibly end up getting my $689 Million prediction from a few months ago.

Avatar 2 reduced from 365 theaters to 160 theaters for Week 18.

Maverick's theater count for Week 18: 2,025.


We'll see how many theaters A2 loses next week or if it kind of just hangs there for a while to try to milk some more Domestic cash on the back end or not.

My guess is that it will make somewhere in the area of $225k between Monday and Thursday.



It appears I high-balled that one just a tad. We've seen $62,106 on Monday, $48,622 on Tuesday and $46,371 on Wednesday, for a total of $157,099, so I think it will come in somewhere just barely over $200k.

It's strange though... The Cheap Seat Tuesday Bump didn't happen for any movies that I can tell this week. Even Super Mario Bros didn't get the bump because it made $20 Million on Monday and only $12 Million on Tuesday. Maybe the long Easter Holiday left people sated for movies for the week?



My prediction for the weekend for Avatar's 18th Weekend is low, considering it's only in 160 theaters now. I'll give it the same $225k that I gave it for the prior 4 days. But who knows? It may do much better than that since its sort of an Exclusive thing now and people may decide they want to see it quick before it leaves theaters.



A2's current total (Day 118): $682,790,957
Maverick's total on Day 118: $709,780,685

Maverick's lead on Day 118: $26,989,728

Maverick made about $1.5 Million on Weekend 18, so the lead should be somewhere around $28.25 Million or so going into next Monday and easily hitting $30 Million or more after next weekend.

Wow... It didn't even do that. $31,625 for Friday, and $188,724 for the week. Again, across the board it seems that movies did really poorly this week. Maybe it wasn't just Easter Weekend, but the fact that it's pretty nice out right now, but not hot enough to want to go sit in an air conditioned movie theater.

So after Day 119, Maverick's lead is already $27,185,571 going into Weekend 18.

$170,475 for the weekend.

$682,993,057 total domestic.

$683 Million might be the last million dollar barrier it breaks before going out of the theater, since it doesn't appear that anybody is rushing to get one last look at it before its gone. It's really not even making much more per theater at only 160 theaters than Maverick was making per theater on the same weekend with 2,025 theaters.

Maverick's lead at 122 days is now $28,631,295.
