The audiences vary demographically and regionally for each movie, which means different average ticket prices. What's more, for a picture like Avatar , the method does not address leveling the playing field for the possible deterrent of higher ticket prices, how the 3D presentations impact 2D attendance or how 3D currently has far fewer theaters than past 2D blockbusters.
However, it's better to have an approximation than to have nothing. Only the money may matter to Hollywood, but attendance is important from an audience and cultural perspective. The disparity between Avatar and Titanic is so huge according to this method, that it is safe to say that Titanic sold a boatload more tickets.
Pointing out the estimated admissions in no way diminishes the box office achievement of Avatar. The purpose is to add perspective. The film also introduced audiences to the Na'vi, a species of blue aliens indigenous to Pandora. By the end, the Na'vi had routed the humans and saved their planet from the colonizers. Audiences have cooled on Avatar over the years for a variety of reasons, including the unremarkable nature of the film's story, which draws unfavorable comparisons to Ferngully and Dances With Wolves.
However, Avatar 's incredible run at the global box office stood unopposed for nearly a decade, and the movie's previously unassailable commercial performance isn't as inexplicable as some make it out to be. Instead, there are a lot of good reasons Avatar drew in enough people to hold such a prominent record for so long. Avatar opened in December, which is typically a strong month for movies, due in part to the relatively fallow period for theatrical releases that is January.
Cameron previously used this strategy of placing one of his blockbusters against weaker competition at the start of the year so as to boost the box office take of Titanic in the late '90s. This timing helped ensure nothing particularly comparable would cut into Avatar 's sales. When looking at the film's actual box office run, the numbers for Avatar are astounding.
Although China now makes or breaks many a movie, the country only had 4, cinema screens in Since then, that number has jumped to more than 60, , which has had a major effect on box office totals. Plenty of movies open in December and don't get the title of highest-grossing film, let alone hold it for nearly a decade.
Instead, the reception of Avatar at the time is absolutely integral to understanding just why the movie did so well. Avatar received a ton of positive reviews, and Cinemascore -- which is typically a good indicator of how audiences feel about a film -- gave the movie an A.
