James Cameron’s AvatarTheWayOfWater takes the 11th spot in the all-time highest-grossing films at the domestic box office passing StarWarsTheLastJedi.
Director James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water continues to make waves at the box office, as it claimed its seventh weekend in a row at the number one spot. The epic science-fiction sequel added $16.3 million this weekend, pushing its running domestic total past $620.5 million, which means that it has overtaken Star Wars: The Last Jedi to take the 11th spot on the all-time list.
Globally, the film has now made $2.11 billion and is on track to overtake another Cameron blockbuster, Titanic . This will put it in the number three spot on the all-time list globally. Cameron will still be responsible for three of the top four highest-grossing movies of all time, as he is now, but the order will change. Avengers: Endgame is currently the second-biggest film in history at the worldwide box office, behind the first Avatar .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY With no major new releases this week, smaller studios contributed towards the overall business, which is hovering around the $71 million mark. This is up over 100% from the same period last year, when the Omicron wave of the Coronavirus was surging.Leading the pack of newcomers is the Bollywood blockbuster Pathaan, starring the megastar Shah Rukh Khan. The action spy-thriller debuted mid-week and is estimated to have made $5.
Holdover hits claimed the second, third and fourth spots this weekend. Universal’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish registered another minimal drop to add $10.6 million in its sixth weekend, for a running domestic total of $140 million. The animated sequel is on the verge of passing the lifetime domestic haul of the original Puss in Boots , although with a little over $310 million globally, it’s still some way away from overtaking the first film’s $555 million worldwide haul.
M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin is expected to take the top spot next week with a projected debut weekend of around $17 million to $20 million. You can watch our interview with Infinity Pool stars Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
