Key Highlights
- Tonight, we’re hearing the pic’s third weekend is around $35M at 3,835 theaters, -44%, after a $13.4M Friday, which will get the threequel to $301M by Sunday.
- Avatar: Way of Water‘s third weekend was Dec.
- 30-Jan 1, which did $67.4M (+4%), while its first weekend of 2023, technically the sequel’s fourth frame, grossed $45.8M (-32%).
- In hindsight, it’s interesting how well Way of Water hung in there, despite everyone miss-comping the title to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the misperception that the sequel actually opened under projections.
- The original Avatar‘s third weekend fell on the first frame of the New Year 2010, that’s when the pic grossed $68.4M.
