M3GAN will open in second place, behind AvatarTheWayOfWater at the box office.
While unable to top Avatar: The Way of Water, which continues to top the box office, M3GAN is off to a strong start in its opening weekend. The new horror film from James Wan will $27.5 million over the weekend,n including $11.7 million on Friday. Avatar: The Way of Water continues to dominate with at least $38 million in its fourth weekend, leading to a domestic box office total of up to $515 million.
"M3GAN remains an enigmatic experience, as it feels both like a killer doll movie and also a killer child movie, given the physical stature of the titular killer. Her physicality and body language are inherently creepy, so with this specific subgenre being relegated to the backburner or straight-to-streaming releases for years, it's at least refreshing to see something this weird for the horror realm earning a major release.
Puss in Boots, A Man Called Otto, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever complete this week's top five at the box office. The full list of the top 10 films at the box office this weekend is in the works.
