James Cameron's AvatarTheWayOfWater crosses $582 million at the domestic box office.
Director James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water is eyeing the $600 million mark at the domestic box office as it looks to top the weekend chart for the sixth time in a row. The science-fiction sequel is expected to gross between $17 million and $20 million this weekend, setting itself up for the seventh-biggest sixth weekend in history.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This is a tremendous result for the film, which was released 13 years after the first Avatar broke box office records on its way to $700 million stateside and $2.97 billion globally. The first Avatar remains the highest-grossing movie in history at the worldwide box office, and while The Way of Water isn’t expected to match its performance, it has still been able to hit the high standards for success that Cameron had set up prior to release.
Universal also took the fourth spot, with the science-fiction thriller M3GAN, which is expected to gross $9.1 million in its third weekend. The well-received film made $2.6 million this Friday, pushing its running domestic total to over $65 million against a reported budget of $12 million. This marks yet another win for hitmaker Jason Blum and his Blumhouse banner.
