It's funny how journoscum cannot simply admit Avatar 2 underperformed, they have to add, how its numbers are strong and the return of Covid in China is to be blamed. Somehow, they fail to take into account the footie ball cup, which dominated normie minds past weekend, especially in Europe. Now their only hope is the movie having massive (blue) legs, but I don't see that happening. I remember the rabid enthusiasm the first movie enjoyed, which is completely absent now. Next weekend is Christmas and I doubt normies want to waste time on a 3 hour slog, when that time is better spent on preparing/attending family get togethers. The weekend after, is the new year, again, normies will be a hell of a lot more interested in partying.
