Avatar 2 Is #4 All-Time, Pathaan Has Big Debut - Charts with Dan!

[@DanMurrellMovies]

As a few of you have already pointed out, there's an error on the top five chart. I forgot to swap out M3GAN's gross, which should be $6,258,245. Every time I think I can maybe do one episode without screwing something up, I'm proven wrong. Sorry - all I can say is that there are a lot of moving parts to this show and it's really difficult to manage all of them without little things slipping through the cracks.

[@eme.261]

As someone who spent a great deal of my professional life putting together P&L statements for large operations I supervised, I can sympathize. It was exasperating to be in monthly P&L meetings and realizing, while discussing key figures, that there were errors. Ack! 🤦🏽‍♀️

i'm so glad Avatar: The Way of Water has done what was mostly expected and made a lot of money, not because i love the film (i do like it) but because of all the false narratives that were created just to get clicks and pander to people who just exist to hate on things in general.

[@DanMurrellMovies]

Unfortunately, those false narratives did what they were designed to do, which is to generate clicks, attention, and revenue. I doubt that anyone who pushed an outrageous narrative for views has even revisited the topic, or that anyone cares that it was so blatantly premature or flat-out wrong. It's a frustrating side of the modern media landscape.

And I doubt anything I could say or do would result in any sort of accountability. It honestly would probably drive more viewership their way because of the 'drama' or the 'feud' or the 'response'. Not interested.

At the theater I work at, Pathaan (pronounced Pat-haan btw, it took me forever to get that too) was easily our biggest movie this past weekend. A Man Called Otto and Left Behind (Ew) were the closest behind, but it was a ways off. I decided to check it out myself, and I had a lot of fun. It’s no RRR, but as a big action movie with an incredibly charismatic lead, it did it’s job well. I want to check out the other movies in this universe, especially because another one, Tiger 3, is scheduled for later this year.

[@nerds3k]

You really should check out all the 3 movies b4 this one in the universe. They are even much more script driven & really well witten. first 2 are the tiger franchise films & third is another standalone one, but no connection is actually established among them there. It's pathaan itself from where they actually connected the stories.

[@WhatsYourGhostStory]

When talking about the legs for Puss n' Boots, it's worth pointing out the usual weekend it opened during - Christmas weekend AND a massive snowstorm that totally depressed the openings for films that weekend. A good example: Babylon even has a 4.26 multiplier, which is approaching the top 5 of 2022 (nearly at Elvis territory), and of course we know that film is no success story. Just a lot of factors to consider. Had that massive snowstorm not hit, PNB would've opened bigger, which would've reduced that legs multiplier.

I talked about all those factors when it opened - I don’t think it impacts the success of the film. And Babylon opened MUCH lower

I can't comprehend how much work you put in for each episode. The crore thing was marvelous. A little on Pathaan - it's all about one of Bollywood's biggest stars - SRK. If one isn't following his career for 30 years (which is about a billion people btw), one might not get all the jokes and easter eggs, and why people lost their minds over one cameo. Also, there's a subplot on the competition between Bollywood vs South Indian movies (which imho South is ahead so far), and Pathaan is a worthy submission from Bollywood. For the viewers, this is a great time to be a fan of Indian movies!!!

I said it verbally but I wasn't doing it mathematically.

[@andrewbarnett152]

One element of ATWOW's performance that isn't generating as much comment as it probably should is that it's going to ultimately finish close to the gross of its predecessor than that of any other sequel to a movie that's held the title of highest grossing film of all time or near to it. ATWOW is going to be closer to Avatar than The Godfather Part 2 was to The Godfather, closer than The Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars, closer than Batman Returns was to Batman, closer than The Lost World was to Jurassic Park, and closer than The Last Jedi was to The Force Awakens. And none of those movies came anywhere near a wait of thirteen years between instalments. That's just stunning.

Important distinction to make, I should've been more clear there.

[@DrAjaoMedia]

Looks like, based on how much more Top Gun: Maverick eventually earned, Avatar 2 could still have up to $100 million more in its tank. If I were to bet, I'd say Avatar 2 passes Maverick. I see it staying in the theaters a tad longer because of the various viewing formats in its favor.

[@DrAjaoMedia]

Also, it's still doing better than Spider-Man: No Way Home which still had about $80 million to add. So the needed $100 or so million to pass Maverick isn't far-fetched at all.

[@DrAjaoMedia]

Forgot to mention that I'm talking about the domestic box office.

[@nikunjdixit1175]

Top Gun: Maverick had the benefit of being released during the summer. So its week day grosses were higher than Avatar: TWOW's. For example, Avatar: TWOW made $1.1 million this last Monday, which was after its 7th weekend. Top Gun: Maverick made $2 million in the Monday after its 7th weekend. So that is where Maverick will keep its lead. The weekend grosses are now almost identical.

The higher the percentage of viewers who watched it "The Proper Way" (imo) the more it implies that the general audiences value the theatrical experience...and Cameron's own unique vision.

I'd be curious to know how much of Avatar: The Way of Water's success can be attributed to IMAX and specialty theatres who have higher ticket prices... How many "butts in seats" is Avatar drawing, compared to the other top ten movies of all time?

[@DanMurrellMovies]

Unfortunately we'll never really know the answer to that - unless IMAX shares those numbers, we don't usually know what amount of the box office is generated by premium formats. The same could be said for 3D screenings of 2009's Avatar or just about any movie in the top 10. Titanic is the only one that could be said to have had a 'pure' release, without premium formats of any kind, and even that gross is boosted by a 3-D re-release 10 years ago, and another one on the horizon.

[@youngstar312]

LOOOOOVE seeing Dan cover more Indian content. Glad RRR has made such an impact in the west and opened the door for Indian cinema. Watched Pathaan in IMAX. Unfortunately, I didn't love it. Gave it a 5/10. Don't expect another RRR (8/10). No spoilers but the movie tries to do more than the budget can handle. The story isn't great and a lot of the stuff happening in it are completely illogical. It's more of the Fast and Furious type nonsense. The pervious instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, WAR (2019) is a much better movie. While still being silly and over the top, the action sequences in that are better executed and more fun.

I’m very confused. So, Avatar TWOW reaching $2.1 billion means nothing? I’m not very good with math and statistics, and people still believe that the movie needs $2 billion to break even. They continue to spread this rumor (borderline lie) in there videos covering this, so I just ask if the movie is making a decent profit? It’s impressive it’s making as much as it is and January is just now ending. And I thought Disney distributes Avatar. I thought the money goes to Cameron and his team, not Disney. 😵‍💫
