The continued expansion for Universal’s release of DreamWorks Animation’s Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is paying dividends at the box office. ‘Puss In Boots 2’ boosted by fresh markets On Imax, The Way Of Water has reached $152.2m globally – the fourth-highest total ever on the format, behind Avatar, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Endgame. The film is the highest-grossing title of the pandemic era in France, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria and Lithuania. Top Gun: Maverick did not release in China, and nor did 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which remains the top film of the pandemic era with $1.92bn globally.Īfter North America and China, top territories so far for The Way Of Water are France ($95.1m), South Korea ($74.9m), Germany ($67.2m) and UK/Ireland ($54.2m). Although the China number will have been depressed by the current Covid surge in the territory, the box office there is still a nice bonus considering so many major 2022 US studio titles missed out on a China release. The Way Of Water has achieved its $1.38bn as follows: $421.6m in North America and $956.9m for international, including $152.8m for China. While The Way Of Water has shown extraordinarily strong legs for a blockbuster, few are expecting its sustained success to quite match the first Avatar. The global total for the initial release of Avatar is $2.74bn, rising to $2.92bn including various rereleases. For example, in North America, Avatar had reached $352m by the end of its third weekend (which was the new year holiday weekend for 2010), and went on to gross $750m by the end of the summer. The original Avatar continued to perform powerfully in January and February 2010. All eyes will now be on how the Pandora adventure performs when families return to work and school. Over its first three weeks, The Way Of Water has proved a very consistent performer, benefiting from the holiday period, and with each day of play effectively performing like a weekend day for the film. The Way Of Water only needs to add another $110m to overtake the Tom Cruise blockbuster, which ranks 11th in the all-time global box office listing. Top Gun: Maverick remains the top film released in 2022, with $1.49bn. Most territories saw a box office increase from the second to the third weekend – although this would be expected in markets such as UK/Ireland, since the second weekend included Christmas Day, and virtually all cinemas are closed there on that day. Either way, the estimated box office for the third weekend is higher, and Disney estimates on The Way Of Water have tended to prove cautious. ‘Avatar 2’ box office rises in third weekendĭisney’s Avatar: The Way Of Water continued to defy gravity over the new year holiday weekend, adding an estimated $250.1m for its third weekend of play, and taking the total to $1.38bn.ĭisney had estimated $224.6m for the second weekend which covered the Christmas holiday, but the actual number turned out to be $240.6m.
