Quote:Subtract $750 million from $1.5 billion because the theater keeps half of the ticket revenue. In some countries, the theater keeps much more than half. How can poor foreigners do that to rich Hollywood? The poor theater owner in China lies to Hollywood about how many tickets were sold. That's how.

To a certain extent, bad marketing on a good movie means that the theaters will bump the movie, and it can get squeezed out of the marketplace. But exhibitors make a much higher percentage of box office the longer a movie runs. If I remember correctly, the movie theater gives the studio 50% of the opening weekend's take, but eventually the percentage works its way down to as low as 10%. That gives theater owners a huge incentive to support a sleeper. Serenity was out there for at least a month; certainly long enough for word of mouth to reverse any failure to get the cast on Leno, or any weaknesses in the trailer, or what have you.

That's good news for Avatar 2, because with how much Avatar 2 cost to make and market, it's going to need a hell of a lot more than 50% to break even or to come close to making what Maverick made after costs.
It's even better news for all of Disney's major flops in 2022 as well.
If Roger remembers correctly, Disney's in a lot worse shape than it would want you to believe.

Quote:You a fooling yourself that you understand business. But every Trumptard I know struggles to stay in the middle class, especially the ones that own small businesses because they don't understand pricing, revenue, costs, etc. 6ix, this is why you have to live on $4,500 and can't afford to heat your house in winter or cool it in summer.

I'm not the one going around stealing everything, including opinions, Pirate.
Keep deflecting from the fact that rodded your asshole out like a backed up sewer pipe in this thread.
As for living comfortably...
I could turn the heat up if I wanted to. But I intend to pay them less than I did last winter on principle. Principle is something that you wouldn't understand because you've never had any. And it just so happens that by standing by my principles on this issue that I'm lowering my carbon footprint as a bonus.
Summertime cooling is easy. That's cheap. Admittedly, I probably go a bit overboard on the cooling since I've had people come in my house during the summer and tell me that it was too cold.
Oh... and I haven't had to take one order from an asshole boss in over 2.5 years and as long as Biden*flation doesn't absolutely eviscerate the value of the USD, I probably won't ever have to again.
Have fun at work today, honey.
ETA: From July 10th, 2020 - "How do I know that? I can manage to live quite comfortably on around only $4,500 per year, and that's including property taxes and car insurance."
(Man... You really are in love with me, aren't you? )
Boy. Those were the days, huh? Back when Trump was President and Biden*flation hadn't kicked in.
It was about $7,200 this year. But I did have about $600 in car repairs, and I bought myself quite a few new toys like power tools and electronics that I got great deals on and I usually don't splurge on too. So it wasn't all Biden*'s fault that my cost of living was higher this year.
It was a real bummer, having to pay that $600 in car repairs, but I didn't have to pay for gas for the 10 weeks this year in total I didn't have a car. Plus, the average monthly payment for a new car is $700 and a used car is $525 (not to mention full coverage you pay for a car the bank owns) in BidenWorld, so I think I'm still safely ahead of everyone else.

A NASA mission has spotted an Earth-size exoplanet orbiting a small star about 100 light-years away.
The planet, named TOI 700 e, is likely rocky and 95% the size of our world. The celestial body is the fourth planet to be detected orbiting the small, cool M dwarf star TOI 700. All of the exoplanets were found by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS mission.
Another planet in the system, discovered in 2020 and named TOI 700 d, is also the size of Earth. Both of these exoplanets exist in their star’s habitable zone, or just the right distance from the star that liquid water might potentially exist on their surfaces. The potential for liquid water suggests that the planets themselves could be, or might once have been, habitable for life.
The discovery of the fourth planet was announced Tuesday at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, and a study about the exoplanet has been accepted for publication by The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
“This is one of only a few systems with multiple, small, habitable-zone planets that we know of,” said lead study author Emily Gilbert, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, in a statement.

Avatar 2 has its first sub-$3 Million day on it's 28th day in the theaters domestically.
It took Top Gun: Maverick 42 days to achieve that feat.
Is it going to beat Maverick in the US? It's got a $40 Million head start going into its 5th weekend over Maverick. Let's see what happens this weekend.

Avatar 2 still has a $40 Million head start going into its 6th weekend, after having a strong 5th weekend and the benefit from an excellent $7 Million showing on MLK Monday.
But that's where things change...
Day 33, (Cheap ticket Tuesday) - $2,769,211 for Avatar 2; $4,718,270 for Maverick
Day 34, Wednesday - $1,865,293 for Avatar 2; $4,305,954 for Maverick
Day 35, Thursday - $1,959,746 for Avatar 2; $4,006,207 for Maverick
Day 36, Friday - $4,654,000 for Avatar 2; $7,186,162 for Maverick
That's $11,248,250 for Avatar 2 through days 33 to 36.
That's $20,216,593 for Maverick through days 33 to 36.
That's also a deficit of $8,968,343 for Avatar 2 in the last 4 days including Friday of weekend 6, and a deficit of $2,622,162 for Friday of weekend 6 alone.
The-Numbers shaved its predictions for Avatar 2 domestically from $770 Million to $765 Million domestically, but I don't think it will even be close to that in the end.
Avatar 2's first sub $2 Million day was day 34 with $1,865,293. Maverick's first sub $2 Million day was day 49 with $1,962,441.
Avatar 2's first sub $5 Million weekend day was day 36 with $4,654,000. Maverick's first sub $5 Million weekend day was day 43 with $4,506,225.
Maybe The-Numbers knows something that I don't, but that math doesn't add up. Unless Avatar 2 somehow has beyond-spectacular Saturdays and Sundays going forward, it's set to start losing its $40 Million lead starting today, January 21st, 2023... possibly bigly.
Even if it were to maintain that $40 Million lead somehow until it's out of theaters, it would still only end up with $748 Million by the end of its run domestically.
Unless there's something I'm unaware of here, I don't think that Avatar 2 will beat Maverick domestically with its current trajectory.

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ crosses $2 billion mark in worldwide box office
Cameron is therefore the only director who can boast that three of his films are among the six to have made over $2 billion.

While it’s topping the chart again, The Way of Water is continuing to lose steam in domestic markets. It’ll miss our model’s prediction by 28%, and the predicted final total for the domestic market declines from $765 million going into the weekend to $748 million today.
Well, well... $748 Million, huh?
The-Number's second lowered Domestic Projection is EXACTLY what I said Avatar 2 would make in the end if it managed to maintain its $40 Million dollar lead it had after Thursday night.
However...
You'd better go lower.
Day 36, Friday - $4,654,000 for Avatar 2; 7,186,162 for Maverick
Day 37, Saturday - $9,322,000 for Avatar 2; $9,767,396 for Maverick
Day 38, Sunday - $5,709,000 for Avatar 2; $8,933,634 for Maverick
That's $19,685,000 for Avatar 2 and $25,887,192 for Maverick on the same Friday/Saturday/Sunday.
Avatar 2's lead over Maverick just lost $6,202,192 on its 6th weekend.
The lead is now down to only $33,598,794 after day 38.
And it won't be another 11 days until Maverick saw a sub $2 Million week day, while Avatar's Wednesday and Thursday nights last week were both sub $2 Million already.
Maverick pulled in $17,543,554 on the next Monday through Thursday.
My prediction for Avatar on the same Monday through Thursday will be $8.5 Million (and I will call this a GENEROUS prediction, because I REALLY want to call it $6.5 Million, but I don't want egg on my face and it's hard to gauge because of MLK last Monday), and if I'm right, that's another $9 Million deficit going into the 7th weekend, leaving Avatar 2 with only a $24.6 Million lead on Maverick before a 7th weekend where Maverick was just a few million shy of what Avatar 2 made in its 6th weekend.
Maverick had a LOT of longevity at this point in the run. Will Avatar 2?
Maverick may lose to Avatar 2 by just a hair in the end, given the ridiculously high price of admission, but if I were The-Numbers I'd dial that final number back to no more than $725 Million at this point. $748 is WAY too rich. And depending on how next week goes, it could be that I'm already calling Maverick the winner of the 2022 Domestic box office by the middle of next week.
I'd love to see actual ticket sales numbers. At this point there's no doubt that many more tickets had been bought for Maverick than there were for Avatar 2, but the price of admission is so different between the two.
