Avatar has made 350 million dollars (domestically) in it's first 17 days of release...

Scrambler Fanny · « **Reply #1 on:** January 03, 2010, 03:13:00 pm »

i think it just might... better movie imo

!

ps-David Clemens is ALSO the King of the World!

RWG · « **Reply #2 on:** January 03, 2010, 04:33:00 pm »

It should get to #2 Worldwide and #3 Domestic. Any higher than that is just speculation at this point.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #3 on:** January 03, 2010, 04:49:00 pm »

There is Avatar, then there's Clemens..

Domestically, Avatar has already broken the record for biggest second weekend of all time (it grossed $75.6mil beating TDK's $75.2mil) and is estimated to absolutely murder two records this weekend; biggest 3rd weekend (currently held by Spidey 3 at $45mil) as well as biggest weekend in January (Cloverfield's $40.1mil) where the estimate is currently sitting around $68mil. Its $25million gross on New Year's Day was another record.

The key here isn't the numbers (New Moon did $142, then $70, TDK did $158, then $75) but it's actually the dropoffs and the timing.

Most blockbusters experience about a 50% dropoff or more during their second week, but not Avatar. It's staying the course so far, and with no major released scheduled any time soon (lol Book of Eli) it should be able to keep that course. A 77/75/68/60/55/50/45 run could go far it beating TDK and Titanic, especially if it wins Best Picture at either the Golden Globes or Academy Awards to give it a boost. Factor in the grosses during the weekdays and Avatar has serious potential to take out TDK and Titanic. If Cameron can pass TDK and hold the #1 and #2 spots in domestic box office grossing history then he will surely be the undeniable king of film... even more insane is doing it with two non-franchise films!

Anyways, Titanic will be tough to beat because it pretty much had no dropoffs ever and was #1 for 15 weeks in a row or something (which is probably Titanic's most impressive record of all.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office_number-one_films_of_1998_(USA)

So yeah. Titanic will be tough to beat domestically, but with the higher price of movie tickets these days it might just be possible.

Avatar is doing even better domestically, so it should easily crack $1billion and get to the #2 all time spot, but Titanic's distance from the other billion grossers (about $800million more) is just too great to overcome. Note how Avatar is already #30 all time worldwide after 17 days of being released, and also note how an average not-even-blockbuster modern film like Ice Age 3 is ranked #13 all time.

http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-wide

So my predictions are;

3rd all time domestic gross: LOCK

2nd all time worldwide gross: LOCK

2nd all time domestic gross: just over 50%

1st all time domestic gross: about 25%

1st all time worldwide gross: maybe just under 10%

When I read the title I thought it was about Clemens and Shawn's love for him

Darth Vader · « **Reply #6 on:** January 03, 2010, 05:57:00 pm »

Yeah, i thought exactly the same haha

Scrambler Fanny · « **Reply #7 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:31:00 pm »

well Clems pwns and i DID give him a shout out in this topic...

Goose-also remember that a HUGE chunk of the $ Avatar is making is from 3D ticket sales, so in the end Titanic will PROBABLY be more impressive no matter the outcome. Avatar, IMO, deserves more props...

RWG · « **Reply #8 on:** January 03, 2010, 07:22:00 pm »

Good call with the 3D tickets. Something I overlooked.

With Sunday's numbers in (or closely estimated) it appears that Avatar has ALREADY BLOWN PAST $1BILLION WORLDWIDE GROSS.

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/01/03/box-office-avatar-soars-past-1-billion-worldwide/

It took TDK, LotR 3 and Pirates 2 pretty much their entire theatrical runs to break $1billion and now Avatar has done it in 3 weekends and 2 weeks.

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that James Cameron is indeed the king of the movie world.

fanny, you have 20 hours to cut that sig in half.

RWG · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2010, 09:26:00 am »

With its 3rd weekend's numbers in...

Domestic: $352million, 15th all time http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross

Worldwide: $1018million, 4th all time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_grossing_films

Has a serious threat to crack the top 10 domestic by this time next week, top 5 the week after that and with a good awards season run it could definitely get to #1.

At least #2 worldwide is also now a definite lock with great potential to get to #1.

Jon i can't so it here at work, but i will when i get home. also is it cool if i just reduce the font so as to take up less space?

Matis · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2010, 02:50:00 pm »

1018 million? are you sure about that...that doesnt even sound correct.

RWG · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2010, 03:14:00 pm »

yes, $1018millions. Which = $1.018billion.

When people talk about things in terms of "millions" it's okay sometimes (although not scientific notation) to write it as 1000s of millions.

vitor · « **Reply #15 on:** January 05, 2010, 05:20:00 am »

Saying 1018 million is better than saying 1.018 billion on that case :P

Scrambler Fanny · « **Reply #19 on:** January 05, 2010, 04:56:00 pm »

Ne'ytiri Blomzy and Jake Blomzy more like it, imo

Henning Blom · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2010, 06:21:00 pm »

Of course^^! Just check Avatar 2 when it comes out, Ryan

TheGreatMax · « **Reply #21 on:** January 10, 2010, 09:14:00 pm »

...in the year 2000...

King of the World grossed in 1,000,000,000 in 7 days that's because the movie was about, Adam Bozon and his total attempts to completely master GE.

RWG · « **Reply #27 on:** January 26, 2010, 04:36:00 pm »

Still needs about $50mil to crack #1 domestic.

Scrambler Fanny · « **Reply #28 on:** January 26, 2010, 07:26:00 pm »

can anyone say 700,000,000 domestic?!?!?!?!?!

I dont care what fucking anyone says if the original Starwars came out in todays society it would have blow titanic out of the water.

RWG · « **Reply #31 on:** January 31, 2010, 05:00:00 am »

well... no, BUT, if in 1977 the world had 6.7billion people and tickets cost an average of $10 like they do today, then Star Wars would certainly have grossed like $3billion.

Isn't there some stat where you can see how many tickets were sold, so you leave out the price subject to inflation and other factors. Then see how those tickets relate to the world population and check for highest percentage.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #34 on:** February 03, 2010, 01:43:00 pm »

Blablabla while you are talking about sales, Africa is drying out and Asia is flooded.

RWG · « **Reply #44 on:** March 25, 2010, 10:41:00 am »

Would have been funnier if there was a scene where Jake Sully was standing on the front of the Deathstar with Neytiri behind him yelling "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD" followed by him doing a nude portrait of Neytiri.
