AvatarTheWayOfWater's opening weekend box office is shaping up to be $135M, lower than the previous projections of $150M. Still, Avatar2's Friday-to-Saturday hold is a drop of only 15%, which suggests the sequel has staying power. More details ▶️
Avatar: The Way of Water isn't having the most impressive opening weekend, but that may not be a bad omen. The film, which opened in theaters on December 16, is the long-awaited follow-up to James Cameron's 2009 mega-hit Avatar, which quickly became the highest-grossing film of all time in its initial release.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Deadline, the opening weekend of Avatar: The Way of Water is shaping up to close to the tune of $135 million, even lower than the previous projections of $150 million, which were already under expectations.
This opening weekend isn't exactly impressive, at least on the grand scale of this big-budget sequel. Although it has already opened as one of the 10 highest-grossing worldwide releases of 2022, it will be practically impossible for Avatar: The Way of Water to outgross the year's number one film, the legacy sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
The strong hold that Avatar: The Way of Water has already shown, combined with the fact that it's a film that many audience members will wish to see in 3D and premium formats, will likely lead to a string of consistent weekends rather than a huge spike. This will likely make it one of the highest-grossing films of 2022 and 2023 rather than the highest-grossing film of either year.
