Disney and 20th Century Studios’ “The Way of Water” took flight at the box office with a solid $53 million gross from 4,202 locations in its opening day, a figure that includes $17 million in Thursday previews. That ranks as the sixth highest first-day domestic gross of the year, lower than those earned by “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” , “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” , “Thor: Love and Thunder” , “Jurassic World Dominion” and “The Batman” .
With very little competition throughout the holidays, “The Way of Water” hopes to mount a similar word-of-mouth driven blockbuster run. The film has received strong raves from some critics without being unanimously praised, currently holding a 73% approval rating from top critics on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.
On that topic, the superhero sequel is now the second-highest grossing film of the year at the domestic box office, surpassing the $411 million gross of its fellow Marvel entry “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” “Wakanda Forever” should take a distant second on domestic charts this weekend, projecting a $5 million haul to pad its North American total gross to $418 million.
