Avatar: The Way of Water has won its fifth global box office as it crossed $1.89 billion globally, and it is now very close to becoming the sixth-biggest global release in history over Spider-Man: No Way Home’s $1.91 billion.<\/p>\n

As reported by Variety, Avatar: The Way of Water brought in $31.1 million over the weekend in North America and is expected to bring in $38.5 million overall over the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday weekend that includes Monday, January 16. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In North America, Avatar: The Way of Water has brought in $570 million, and its international total has reached $1.3 billion. As we previously mentioned, it should pass Spider-Man: No Way Home as the sixth-biggest global release in history any day now, and will then set its sights on Avengers: Infinity War’s $2.04 billion.<\/p>\n

While Avatar had another strong outing, M3GAN also continued to impress by taking second place with $17.9 million and an estimated $21.2 million over the holiday weekend as a whole. This was a horror roughly 40% drop from its opening weekend, which is a really great stat, especially for a movie.<\/p>\n

\n

Overseas, M3GAN raked in another $15.4 million to help its global total reach $90 million.<\/p>\n

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish took third place with $13.4 million domestically, Tom Hanks’ A Man Called Otto opened to a respectable $12.6 million domestically and earned the fourth place spot, and Gerard Butler’s Plane rounded out the top five with $10 million opening weekend . <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In our review of A Man Called Otto we said that it “may have a tear-jerking performance from Tom Hanks, but there’s little else to make this simple story stand out.”<\/p>\n

In our review of Plane, we said, “With more plane than the trailers promised, Gerard Butler vehicle Plane ends up being a surprisingly good time.”<\/p>\n
