Yeah it absolutely is but the idea is that this opening weekend being lower is because its really close to Christmas and people are busier getting ready for Christmas rather than movies, and that next weekend will be really good for the movie for post Christmas/holidays.

it's just an interesting thought to see if that's what happens or if this will perform like a normal billion dollar movie.

or behave like a typical sequel.  

I didn't watch the water one so I have less than 0 interest in watching the 3rd movie.  the problem with sequals is it can only do worse then the prior one.

isn't Xmas and Thanksgiving the biggest box office sales generally?    in general it has always been the most likely time I see movies in the theater.  when I'm with the extended family and need an. activity out of the house a movie is a top contender.

Next weekend will really show us its legs. I'm thinking next weekend could do as well or better than this weekend. 

Oh well I'll be happy as long as it gets 1.5ish billion. Should guarantee 4 and 5.

Finished way of water. First time watching at home.

Cool watching back to back, way of water is just so much better looking. The 3d is a lot better too.


I'm now way more hyped for Sunday. I expect some long and slow parts, but some awesome great parts to balance that out.

The 3d was so goooood in way of water. 

I've been seeing people say the battle sequences of fire and ash are incredible
