Avatar: The Way of Water Box Office Crosses $200 Million Domestically Ahead of Christmas
James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water continues to be the leader of the pack, crossing the $200 million threshold domestically as of yesterday. The Walt Disney Company's estimates for Friday box office on the sequel saw it bring in an additional $19 million, pushing it to just over $217 million in the US alone.
Week over week Avatar: The Way of Water saw a 63% drop from last Friday to yesterday, a significant dip, but again one that was likely hampered by weather conditions. The film also has the advantage of a long holiday weekend that could see audiences surge ahead as the cold air passes, temperatures begin to rise, and roads get cleared.
As of this writing, Avatar: The Way of Water is now the #8 highest grossing movie of the year in the US, eclipsing past Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to claim its spot. Ahead of the sequel is a lot of competition however with Thor: Love and Thunder sitting at #7 with $343 million, a number that Avatar should be able to match around the time of the new year. The Batman and Minions: The Rise of Gru are the #6 and #5 movies on the list, with $369.34 million and $369.
The #3 highest grossing movie in the US is currently Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with $411 million with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever sitting at #2 with $423 million. It's certainly possible that Avatar: The Way of Water could catch both of these, but it will take a lot of repeat viewing on premium formats for the sequel to do so. Luckily for Cameron and his cohorts that seems to be the way people are eager to see it.
International numbers for Avatar: The Way of Water continue to look good as well. The most recent estimates for its box office totals in other countries haven't been updated in a few days, with fresh numbers arriving on Christmas, but currently the film has an estimated $464 million internationally, giving it a global total of $681 million. Once final numbers come in however the film could very easily clear $800 million, and might be as high as $900 million.
