James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” snared $17 million during its Thursday night previews on its way towards a $175 million opening weekend.<\/p>\n

A whopping 61% of Thursday’s domestic tickets were for 3D showings.<\/p>\n

Marvel Studio’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” produced $36 million during its Thursday previews, the highest of any film in 2022. “Thor: Love and Thunder” was the second-highest with $29 million followed by “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ,” which snapped up $28, and Warner Bros.
