And imagine how long it would take you to download that from a torrent site, since there's no way you're paying for it. Disney+ lost 2.4 million subscribers in Q4 of 2022. It also lost $1.5 Billion in the same quarter. To date, Disney+ has lost money every single quarter since it started in 2019.

It is 12 episodes, each 45 minutes long, of the Avatar 3 TV season.
Quote:Let me check to see if you know what you write about. From Variety, which covers Hollywood: The drop in Disney+ subscribers — which was bigger than analysts expected — was entirely driven by a 3.8 million sequential decline at Disney+ Hotstar, the version of the service offered in India and parts of Southeast Asia, to stand at 161.8 million at the end of 2022. Last year, Disney lost streaming rights to Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches, which prompted it to lower growth targets for Disney+ Hotstar in India. How about the "lost $1.5 Billion"? On the earnings call, Iger announced that Disney is eliminating 7,000 jobs, with layoffs affecting 3.2% of its global workforce, part of a strategy to reduce costs by $5.5 billion. Firing worthless Trumptards to make Disney profitable. Life is tough for angry poor white trash because firing their worthless asses is the easy route to profitability.
Quote:Per usual, 6ix, you misunderstand anything and everything.

It's all woke Leftists that will be crying on Twitter about how unfair life is. Staring with Bob Chapek and and Ultra-Woke Victoria Alonzo who ruined Marvel Phase 4 and just got her walking papers last Friday. ... Disney's had a slight bump recently with the news of some of the woke trash being thrown out the window, but that's not going to last because they've effectively killed the Star Wars and Marvel brands and don't appear to be doing anything to change course on either of them. None of their non-Star Wars and non-Marvel properties are making any money either outside of Avatar... And that technically is a Fox Studios production, just like Spider-Man: No Way Home (the only Marvel movie to meet expectation since Avengers: End Game) was.

Quote:Disney defies DeSantis by hosting the world's largest corporate LGBTQ conference sponsored by Apple, Walmart and Amazon - after governor cracked down on the Magic Kingdom for slamming his 'Don't Say Gay' law The Walt Disney Company will host a major LGBTQ conference at its Florida resort later this year, after clashing with Ron DeSantis on gay rights issues including his so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law. The Out & Equal Workplace Summit, which bills itself as 'the largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world,' will be held at Disney World in September, after last year's event in Las Vegas. The conference is expected to draw 5,000 attendees and is sponsored by a number of iconic American companies, including Apple, Amazon, Walmart, McDonald's, JPMorgan, and Boeing. Disney itself also has a longstanding relationship with Out & Equal and is a top-tier sponsor for the group. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com on Wednesday evening. An Out & Equal spokesman told the Miami Herald that Disney World has also committed to hosting next year's event, which would be held in the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.

I think Avatar will do better than that. Unless this truly is the end for A2's run, that would require over a 50% drop from last weekend. A2 hasn't seen a 50%+ drop since its 2nd weekend, and the last 4 weekends were only 20%+ drops, with the weekend before that only seeing a 9% drop.

If the director wanted someone who looked like Weaver to play the daughter, Summer Glau was close, but who better than Weaver? It is part of the long Hollywood tradition of having the identical twin played by the same actor in a different costume. That's a spoiler: one of these Avatar movies will probably reveal that the daughter is genetically identical to the mother. If you are still speculating who the father was of the daughter, you can stop because I predict that there was no father.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: A2 lowered to 935 theaters this weekend (starting Day 99). Maverick was still in 3,115 theaters on Day 99. Maverick didn't dip below 1,000 theaters until Day 141. Maverick's current lead after Day 98: $14,288,781. Maverick's Weekend 15 Take: $6,014,128 A2 made $2,098,036 on Weekend 14, and John Wick hadn't come out yet. I think it should still make more than a million this weekend seeing how it only dipped 21% last weekend after losing quite a bit more theaters than it did this weekend.
Quote:Maverick should be extending its lead to $18.5 Million+ by Sunday night and be quite comfortably over $20 Million by Thursday. Possibly $21 Million.
Quote:ETA: Bruce says it's a coin flip, but his model doesn't even have A2 in the top 10 for this weekend.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: (February 15th) I still don't know why Bruce had lowered his prediction for A2's final take all the way down to only $660 Million domestically a week or two back. I said at the time I thought that was way too low. I think theater counts are really going to drop soon and the new Marvel drek comes out this weekend, but it's already at $649+ Million. Even though it won't come close to touching Maverick's $718+ Million, it will beat $660 Million by quite a bit, IMO. 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.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Sounds about right, coming from Leftards in Hollywood...Common on the West Coast, especially around Hollywood, is a belief in Buddhism and, its most interesting feature as a religion, reincarnation. Avatar 2 had the dead human villains from Avatar 1 reincarnated as Avatars. They came back as themselves, but bigger, stronger, bluer. The chief villain was threatened with these words: "Demon, I will kill you as many times as I have to!" That wasn't an empty promise. It happened, but there was a save so that the villain can return for Avatar 3. Avatar is not like John Wick 1 through 4, and someday 5, where Keanu Reeves needs new villains to kill for each new movie.

In any event, $20 Million lead for Maverick after Thursday night is a lock.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: 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.
Quote:Quote: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.

Quote:I'm also anticipating another drop in the The-Numbers' prediction for Avatar 2's domestic take when the weekend predictions come out tomorrow. Is tomorrow the day they predict that Avatar 2 will make less than Maverick did domestically, or will we have to wait another week for that prediction?
Quote:Let's see how low The-Numbers drops the Domestic prediction for Avatar 2 the third week in a row. If they're claiming more than $725 Million at this point, they're suffering from wishful thinking. If they still think it will make over $742 they're insane and need to fix their model.
Quote:Also, they made no mention of changing their prediction for the final take. It probably makes sense that they didn't with a weekend prediction that high.
Quote: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. https://www.the-numbers.com/news/253500830-2023-market-forecast-Avatar-helps-boost-our-2023-prediction-to-8-8-billion
Quote:Bruce just put out an article recently lowering his prediction for Avatar 2 all the way down to only $660 Million Domestically, but if he still believes that A2 is going to be pulling in $13M on weekend 8 and it isn't going to start quickly going down the tubes, it will end up with a lot more than that by the end of its run, considering it's already at $625M +.

Quote:A2's Thursday take: $127,644 Maverick's Lead into Weekend 16: $21,527,907. 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.

Quote:A2 isn't in Bruce's top 10 or even mentioned in the article this week. It has Cocaine Bear at 10 with $930k, so Bruce is expecting at least a 31.5% drop from A2's 15th weekend, which wouldn't be a stretch since it lost 35% last weekend and another 260 theaters going into this weekend. Maverick made another $3,157,227 on Weekend 16, so it should be up close to a $24 Million lead going into Monday.

It's high enough though that I expect it only to happen one or two more times this week. It won't be every day because A2 should easily climb $7k today on Cheap Seat Tuesday. Wednesday will be a coin flip since half the time A2's Wednesday matched A2's Monday, and the other half the time it has eclipsed A2's Monday by up to 20%. Thursday is almost always a match or lower than Monday though. -------------------------------------------------- Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

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.
Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: (March 22nd) Maybe they'll keep A2 open in just a handful of theaters in major cities and keep interest up with the exclusivity of the thing and hang on for a few more months to try to crack $700 Million domestic before the end of the run.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: (April 10th) I don't think they'll take it [Avatar 2] 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.
Quote:(April 10th) My guess is that it will make somewhere in the area of $225k between Monday and Thursday.
Friday, April 14, 2023 3:20 PM
Quote: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.
