\tDisney\/20th Century Studio’s Avatar: The Way of Water <\/em>is heading to a Monday around $16M which will take its four day total to $150.1M. Nothing to cry about as the Monday for the James Cameron directed movie bests the first Monday of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever <\/em>($11.1M).<\/p>\n

\n

\tif Avatar 2<\/em> exceeds $16M today, that will rank as the second best Monday of 2022, besting the Monday July 4th gross of Universal\/Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru. <\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\tThe top grossing Monday of the year belongs to the Memorial Day take of <\/em>Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>which made $33.8M. A year ago, the first Monday of Sony\/Marvel Studio’s Spider-Man: No Way Home <\/em>grossed $37.1M, the third best Monday ever at the domestic box office. <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe 3-day box office for Avatar: The Way of Water <\/em>kept intact with what Disney called on Sunday AM, the sequel finaling at $134.1M. In regards to the sequel missing its $150M-$175M projections, many sources are calling tracking out on that one. This 3 hour 12 minute 3D opus should never have been comped to Marvel movies which are front-loaded; Avatar 2<\/em>‘s box office fuel tied greatly to premium theater ticket sales (ie Imax, Dolby, 4DX, etc). <\/p>\n

\n

\tcurrently, Avatar 2<\/em>‘s Monday is emulating a similar Sunday-to-Monday decline to that of Disney’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story <\/em>which went down -54% over that time span for a $17.6M Monday. Avatar 2<\/em>‘s Sunday-to-Monday decline is looking like -56% after making $36.5M yesterday. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
