It's definitely not going to flop...are people saying this?
It's gonna be gigantic. It may not surpass the original box office, but this movie will be huge. It will definitely be a theater experience that lots of people will want to see.

Overseas markets are more forgiving to movies with more spectacle, less plot, because the translations can lose some of it anyway. It's better now than it used to be, but at the end of the day doing well in China isn't an assurance the movie will pan out.
Just see the World of Warcraft movie. Did well in China, but failed in most markets and never got a sequel.

It will hit $1 billion easily WW, easily. Quite possibly much more. That’s far from a flop

Avatar made $250 Million on a re-release of Avatar awhile back.
It was always going to be a big sell in China, they like stupid shite. Especially if it shows Westerners as evil.

China going to make bank. You understand that Disney only gets to keep somewhere in 25-40% range for box office returns in China?

Never will get this. It looks like a boring video game. It did then, it still does now.
Millennials. What a bunch of weirdos.

Have a group planning on taking some edibles and going to see it

Why do people on here want Avatar to fail again? Is it “woke” or something?

the entire country is in lock down so they cant leave the house under threat of being shot.
that tends to put a dent in the number of people going out to theaters

I never said it would flop. I just said I didn't care.
Also, foreigners ate this shite up last time, and they will again.

Who is saying this? There is no reason to expect this to flop. Not saying it's going to be good, but it's definitely going to rake in the cash.

i only watched the first Avatar because of the 3d gimmick which was brand new thing back in 2009.
well, 3d movies are long since dead and i have zero interest in watching this.
I can't believe there are 3 more movies planned.

Got our tickets to IMAX 3D on Saturday night. I expect a shallow story with amazing visuals.

Who really cares about B.O. sales? Everyone knew it would rake in the Chinese market.
I just don't see the appeal domestically unless you're the type of person who likes to listen to Dark Side of the Moon while watching Wizard of Oz.
Now that weed is legal in most States, maybe there's an audience.
But people ran to the theaters first go around for the hype and technology.
I don't see the desire to go back and basically watch an extended version of the first movie. I think people hope it fails so it finally puts the nail in coffin of catering to the Chinese market but that won't happen.

Now Playing.

Overseas, #AvatarTheWayOfWater??? had a solid WED Opening Day grossing 15.8M over just 15 markets (vs #WakandaForever???’s 10.7M over 17 markets)
In 2022 that’s just under #DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness’s 27.2M over 20 markets.
Solid 2.9M in #France despite WorldCup semifinals!
quote:
Worth noting the 15.8M WED Opening Day over 15 markets at #BoxOffice doesn’t include #China’s 2.9M WED previews, what would lead #AvatarTheWayOfWater??? to a 18.7M opening day overseas.
China previews will be added to FRI numbers.
Strong #Italy 1.6M & #Germany’s 2.5M Op Days.
2/2
