Box Office Mojo is reporting the weekend actuals. Brandon Gray reports: “‘Avatar’ beat its estimates again, coming in at $68.5 million domestically and $136.3 million internationally for the weekend. On the other hand, ‘Sherlock Holmes,’ ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ and others were significantly overestimated…”
Here’s the chart of Avatar’s actuals compared to Titanic’s actuals — with Titanic’s “percentage of final gross” applied to Avatar. It shows two things:
- If Avatar has the legs of Titanic, it’s US Gross will be off the charts — above 1B.
- While Avatar is close to keeping up with Titanic in terms of trend lines, it is losing ground slightly. But it has a huge lead.
