Something to think about regarding Avatar's box office run

I was reading this really good article in The Washington Post and the author had a nice write up comparing Avatar & Endgame's box office runs.  He lays out that both are utterly impressive as hell but made some great points in Avatar's favor.

I was aware that there wasn't as many movie theaters in China back when Avatar came out. But I wasn't aware at just how much expansion they've done there.
excerpt from the article... 
Back then, the country as a whole had just under 5,000 screens. Wanna guess how many it has now?

No, it’s higher than that.

Nope. Still higher.

There are now an estimated 60,000 movie screens in China. (The United States has 41,000.)

This makes for an astonishing figure — for “Avatar.” That movie managed to take in more than a third as much as “Endgame” in China, despite theater capacity that wasn’t even a 10th of what it is now.


Holy shit! All I can tell is that Avatar 2 will be a MASSIVE hit in China .
