AvatarTheWayOfWater is now the third biggest IMAX movie of all time.
The momentum for Avatar: The Way of Water continues as the epic science fiction film dominates IMAX screens with an additional $5.3 million at the global box office. With the film currently in its eighth week of release, it has earned a total of $247 million worldwide from IMAX screens, signifying an audience preference to see the film on premium formats.
Domestically, the film added another $2 million this weekend, totaling $85.7 million so far, becoming the third-biggest domestic IMAX release of all time. International totals continue to sweep across the world with another $3.1 million this weekend to a total of $170 million. Despite a COVID surge during its release in China back in December, the film's IMAX run remains strong in the country.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While the film may be dominating IMAX screens for the time being, it will be seeing a gradual decline in the upcoming weeks with the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which will take up significant premium formats. However, outside IMAX theaters, the film continues to swim up the all-time list, recently becoming the first post-pandemic release to cross the $2 billion threshold. So far, the movie has earned a worldwide total of $2.
Audiences have much to look forward to for the franchise's future, with a third installment already entirely filmed and set to debut on December 20, 2024. While specific plot details remain under wraps, according to previous reports, the film will feature a clan of fire Na'vi that live in Pandora's volcanic region, with Oona Chaplin attached to star as their leader. With so much in store, fans have plenty of time before their epic return to Pandora next year.
