\t20th Century Studios\/Disney’s Avatar: The Way of Water<\/em>‘s Tuesday box office is looking at $17M, and could possibly topple Minions: Rise of Gru<\/em>‘s first Tuesday of $17.5M to become the best Tuesday of 2022. <\/p>\n

\n

\tSome rival studios are seeing higher, but we’ll see how it settles come the morning. In its fifth day, <\/em>the James Cameron directed sequel’s running domestic box office will rise to $167.3M. <\/p>\n

\n

\tI hear Avatar 2 <\/em>has about $8M in pre-sales heading into the upcoming weekend, which is strong per one distribution source for a weekend 2 of a movie. Imax repped 14% of Avatar 2<\/em>‘s $16M Monday box office which is up from the 12.3% indexing over the weekend. <\/p>\n

\n\tRogue One: A Star Wars Story <\/em>seems to be the current comp for Avatar 2<\/em>. That Lucasfilm title minted $17.5M on its first Tuesday, which Avatar 2 <\/em>could best. Rogue One <\/em>also saw a second 4-day weekend of $96.1M, which was the last time Christmas fell on a Sunday, just like this year. It’s a number that Avatar 2 <\/em>could feasibly reach in its Friday-Monday span next weekend. <\/p>\n

\n

\tthe first Avatar <\/em>saw its second weekend occur also over a Christmas frame, except the holiday fell on a Friday (which is better than the holiday falling on a Saturday or Sunday). The movie in 2009 only dipped 1.8% in weekend 2 with $75.6M compared to its opening 3-day of $77M. amazing.<\/p>\n

\n

\tGlobally, Avatar 2 <\/em>will fly past the half billion point today. the sequel helped propel Disney past the $4 billion worldwide office point this year; the most to date for any studio. <\/p>\n

\n

\tYou can read the rest of our Christmas box office coverage here; the only other new wide release that has a shot of grossing north of $100M ultimately this season is Universal\/Dreamworks Animation’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish <\/em>which opens tomorrow, sans previews tonight. That Joel Crawford-Januel Mercado directed sequel is looking at a 4-day between $15M-$20M.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
