I know My Friend. I just must check some of my sources, to decide about prediction.

Wow, you guys are predicting very low numbers. I still have a feeling it will be massive. Even my mom wants to see it and she doesn't share my love for sci-fi movies that much (to put it nicely). She thought Dark Knight was utter crap and didn't even want to hear about Transformers. She was also very sceptical about Avatar but it's James Cameron's name that convinced her to go. True Lies is one of her favorite films If my mom is going to see it, I'm telling you it will be huge

Not doubting your mothers sixth sense, the way I see it the timing is wrong.
Any Christmas release is notorious for low numbers, specially for a fantasy/Scifi flic. Not that the movie is bad, but simply because people have other things to do. On the overall it might do great, but not on opening weekend. People are in the holiday frame of mind, red and white is in, blue is not...

You've got some good points, but I'm thinking we're going to set a precedence this year We're predicting 17th to 20th there's still plenty of time left to write to Santa

I think this 142.1 - 144 Million

You're right jacques. Opening will be smaller, but "Avatar" will have great legs. Even with 70 mil. opening, it'll reach 300 mil. final gross.

I've already got my tickets for next Saturday purchased. Going to see it in IMAX 3D.

I think one thing to take into consideration is not only is it the weekend before Christmas, this thing is close to 3 hours long which means there's not going to be that many showtimes. So far the pre-sales for Toronto seem indicate that it's only going to be on 1-2 screens per theatre which isn't much.

I got tickets for 11:30 am on Monday, December 21st, for the IMAX 3D



it's going to be showing here in regular 35mm, IMAX 3D and Digital Real 3D!!
