Without any notable competition, “Avatar: The Way of Water” continued its mighty box office reign with ease. James Cameron’s blockbuster sequel added 15.7 million from 3,600 North American theaters between Friday and Sunday, enough to claim the No. 1 spot for the seventh consecutive weekend.
So far, “Avatar 2” has generated 620 million at the domestic box office and 2.117 billion globally. On Friday, it passed “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2.071 billion) to become the fourth-highest grossing movie in history. Now, “The Way of Water” ranks behind only “Avatar” (2.92 billion), “Avengers: Endgame” (2.7 billion) and “Titanic” (2.19 billion) in terms of worldwide ticket sales. Cameron has directed three of those four releases, putting the filmmaker in unmatched company.
Elsewhere at the box office, only one new movie — Neon’s disturbing sci-fi thriller “Infinity Pool” — opened in theaters nationwide. The R-rated film, from director Brandon Cronenberg (son of genre legend David Cronenberg), debuted to muted results, generating 2.7 million from 1,835 cinemas.
