![]() Tri-Star’s Whitney Houston movie, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, which Sony hoped would do $12M, came in with a paltry $6.75M 4-day. Offshore, Imax counts $67.5M.Įven with the holiday and a Monday which saw many off, Babylondidn’t get better, but worse finaling at $4.85M for the 4-day weekend. Through Monday, Avatar: The Way of Water has grossed $38M in U.S./Canada for Imax, 14% of domestic ticket sales to date. To date, IMAX has accounted for 11.4% of the film’s global gross on only a fraction of its total screens. James Cameron’s epic sci-fi sequel is only the 9th film in IMAX history to exceed $100 million in global box office. With domestic earnings tracking at 30 percent of the total, that means its international box office would come to $2.5 billion, and its global total would be $3.5 billion, becoming the new #1 movie of all time and the first ever to cross $3 billion.Meanwhile, Avatar 2 has now earned $105.5M in IMAX global box office in less than two weeks - the fastest film to hit the $100M mark in IMAX since April 2019. If we calculate using a 7.93 multiplier, the midpoint between Avatar and Top Gun: Maverick's multipliers, Avatar: The Way of Water's domestic total comes to $1.06 billion, the #1 domestic movie of all time and first to cross $1 billion domestically. Of course, those numbers are using Top Gun Maverick's multiplier, and so far Avatar: The Way of Water's rate of decay suggests it'll outperform Maverick. This would put Avatar: The Way of Water ahead of Titanic as the new #3 ranked movie of all time at the global box office and the #5 movie domestically behind Avatar. If that ratio holds, $760.3 million domestically would mean $1.8 billion internationally and a global total of $2.5 billion. Unlike Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water was released in China and is a big hit overseas, so its domestic box office only accounts for 30 percent of its global total. If it has the 5.67 multiplier of Top Gun: Maverick (which all signs say it'll beat down the stretch), it'll earn $760.3 million domestically.

If Avatar: The Way of Water had a multiplier of 2.91, it'd earn $390 million domestically. Prior to Avatar: The Way of Water pumping Furious 7 off the list, the average non-Cameron movie in the top 10 made 35 percent of its total domestic haul in its opening weekend, meaning the average multiplier is 2.91. As a newly minted member of the top 10, its $134 million opening weekend is the third lowest on the list, ahead of only Titanic ($28.6 million) and the original Avatar ($77 million) - which are both also directed by Cameron. It's already clear that Avatar: The Way of Water's box office is drastically outperforming the average of the top 10 box office earners of all time.
