Sure, Avatar TheWayOfWater won the WeekendBoxOffice but the most impressive film was by far M3gan as a new franchise was born.
\nM3gan arrived with a roar at the weekend box office, but it was James Cameron and Avatar: The Way of Water that walked away with yet another victory. The biggest movie of 2022 added $45 million, strolling past the $1.5 billion mark at the worldwide box office in the process. It now sits at a running total of $1.7 billion and is seventh all-time. It looks like it may indeed cross that $2 billion mark when all is said and done after all, as the returns just keep coming.
Proving yet again that you can open things in January, especially horror, the film had a budget of only $12 million and has smooth sailing for the next three weeks to really clean up. Expect a sequel announcement this week. In third place was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, only dropping -22% to $13.1 million. That one will quietly pass the $100 million mark next week. Fourth went to A Man Called Otto, as the Tom Hanks drama scored huge in limited release with $4.3 million.
