Avatar 2 sails to seventh week at the top, while Infinity Pool drowns with $2.7m

January 29, 2023 by Matt Rodgers

Unopposed, Avatar: The Way of Water cruised passed $620 million at the domestic box office this weekend, and in the process became the fourth-highest grossing movie of all time with $2.117 billion globally. 

On Friday James Cameron’s behemoth overtook Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.071 billion) to sit behind only it’s predecessor Avatar ($2.92 billion), Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion) and Titanic ($2.19 billion) on the  list of the biggest grossing movies of all-time.

Its weekend take of $15.7 million was enough to secure the top-spot for the seventh week in a row, where its nearest competitor was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which also displayed its nine-lives staying power at the box-office, dropping just 11% for a weekend take of $10.5 million, and a domestic total of $140 million. 

There were also decent holdover performances by Tom Hanks drama A Man Called Otto, which added $6.7 million to its domestic gross of $46 million, and Universal’s killer-doll hit M3GAN, which earned $6.3 million, taking its North-American tally to $81.9 million.

Those are numbers that Brandon Cronenberg’s R-rated Infinity Pool can only dream of, with the much ballyhooed Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth horror only managing to gross $2.7 million from 1,835 cinemas, earn a poor C- CinemaScore from audiences, and land in eight place on the chart.

As always, head over to BoxOfficeMojo for the full rundown on stats and statistics, and let us know what you saw this weekend by visiting our social channels @FlickeringMyth…
