LOL... Okay. One more week.

A2 loses 10 theaters and is now only being shown in 25.

It made about $29k in the last 7 days.

This is just embarrassing at this point.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

A2 needs to have stellar weekend showings to make up for what it will lose week to week on Monday-Thursday. Maverick will show its first sub-$2 Million day on Thursday of this week, but the next three weeks for Maverick all made more money than A2 did last week. (Mon-Thurs).

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 is officially out of theaters with 160 days. Maverick was in the theater for 203 days.

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.

Wow...

Despite just a small dip in The-Number's Weekend 7 prediction (3% more of a loss than they expected, vs 12% better than I'd thought it would have done), it appears that they've savagely downgraded Avatar's final domestic take in their model, dropping it far below what I even would have predicted at this point.

$665 Million is what they think it will end up with now, which is $53+ Million shy of Maverick's domestic total.

Maybe Bruce has been looking at my thread.

Until we have more info after this weekend, I'm going to split the difference and call it $689 Million for A2's final domestic take. But really that depends on how quickly the Theater Owners want to get it out of their theaters. If it doesn't come close to Maverick's 203 days in the theaters, it probably isn't going to make another $40 Million, so the high cost of showing it coupled with the high ticket prices might really hurt it on the back end, like I predicted quite a while ago.



A2's Domestic Total: $684,075,026
Maverick's Domestic Total: $718,732,821

Maverick wins by $34,657,795.





They've finally admitted the production budget of A2 was $460 Million. Add in marketing budget and theater expenses, and James Cameron wasn't fibbing when he said it needed to make a BILLION to break even. (More realistically only $900 to $950 Million, rather than a Billion though)

Maverick only cost $170 Million to make. It broke even somewhere around the $350-$400 Million mark.

So even if we're conservative and call it a $400 Million break-even point for Maverick, it still pulled in nearly $1.1 Billion profit by the end of it's run, and that's despite the fact that China wouldn't show it.

A2 was shown in China and made around $1.35 Billion profit.

A2 pulled in $246 Million in China.


At the end of the day, my predictions from the beginning regarding A2 were MUCH more accurate than any of the online media sites, including The-Numbers, and if A2 were banned in China like Maverick was, they both made just about equal money for the investors in the end.
