\tWith strong and consistent mid-weeks, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water<\/em> has crested the $600M mark worldwide. This comes after it rapidly passed $500M global earlier this week, following its $441.6M opening weekend. The current worldwide total through Wednesday is $609.7M<\/strong> including $426.8M<\/strong> from the international box office.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe offshore cume lifts Way of Water<\/em> to the No. 5 spot for a Hollywood title on the 2022 overseas chart, having now surpassed Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em> and The Batman<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n

\tOn Tuesday, the 20th Century Studios\/Disney sequel added $40.5M from overseas markets, and on Wednesday, a further $39.5M.<\/p>\n

\n

\tDomestically, as Anthony has reported, Way of Water<\/em> scored the 2nd biggest Wednesday of 2022.<\/p>\n

\n

\tInternational midweeks are landing at an average 15% of the opening weekend (removing troubled China from the equation, that rises to 17%). Looking at markets that bowed early last week, France’s Wednesday was up 64% this week (last Wednesday had a World Cup semi-final), Germany was also up, while Korea and Italy were down about 30%.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAs we’re heading into a holiday weekend that sees Christmas Eve fall on a Saturday, and Christmas Day on a Sunday, we’ll see a significantly lighter second frame \u2014 but from December 26-30, midweeks are again expected to be robust.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn all, the Top 10 overseas markets through Wednesday are China ($70.5M), France ($37M), Korea ($32.1M), India ($26.5M), Germany ($26.1M), UK ($21.6M), Mexico ($19.4) M), Australia ($15.8M), Italy ($13.8M) and Brazil ($12.9M).<\/p>\n

\n

\tNot included in the totals above are Thursday’s figures out of China and Korea. In the former, an added estimated $3.8M brings the total through today to $74.5M. In the latter, a $2.17M estimated Thursday lifts Way of Water<\/em> to $34.7M.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
