Ĭompared to other comparable $100M+ openers from 2022, here’s how Water opened and how it’s faring now, through the equivalent point in release. Indeed, Water exceeded four films from 2022 which boasted higher opening weekends: Wakanda, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Jurassic World: Dominion, and Thor: Love and Thunder. Last Monday, it overtook Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to become the #2 release from 2022 so far, though it still ranks behind Top Gun: Maverick at least for the moment. Though 24 days, Water has now earned $516.7M domestically. Avatar: The Way of Water (domestic total) So if judging solely by the fourth weekend of wide release, Water would actually be second place all time, instead of third place. Sniper comes with an asterisk, since its fourth overall frame was actually its first frame of wide release, following a three-week limited release rollout to qualify for awards season. It ranks behind only 2014’s American Sniper ($89.2M) and the original Avatar ($50.3M). Now, in its fourth frame, it again earns the #3 fourth weekend of all time.

Cameron used state-of-the-art motion capture technology to bring underwater Pandora to life, and also experimented with fluctuating High Frame Rate tech in an effort to enhance the immersive nature of certain sequences.Photo Credits: Disney & 20th Century Studios ("Avatar: The Way of Water") Universal & Blumhouse ("M3GAN") Avatar: The Way of Water (Domestic)Ģ0th Century Studios’ sci-fi sequel Avatar: The Way of Water claimed the #3 fourth weekend of all time, with a -33% decline to $45.0M, easily holding onto first place. Set a decade after the events of the first film, The Way of Water introduces audiences to the water tribes of Pandora, marking a visual shift from the tropical forest setting of the first film. However, other reports suggest that the actual break-even point for the film is around $1.4 billion, meaning that the movie is in the black now. Cameron had also declared that The Way of Water would have to finish as the third or fourth-biggest movie in history to break even, implying that anything below $2 billion globally would be a matter of concern for the franchise’s future. If it manages to top $1.9 billion, it’ll overtake Spider-Man: No Way Home as the highest-grossing movie of the pandemic era. This should put it above Top Gun: Maverick’s $1.48 billion haul, making it the biggest film of 2022, and also earning it a spot on the top 10 all-time list. The chances of The Way of Water hitting those figures are slim recent projections put the film’s final global gross between $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion.
