Weekend Box Office: Status Quo
Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at 7:15PM By Ben Miller
With an extra day at the weekend box office, Avatar: The Way of Water and M3GAN both repeated at the top two spots, while continuing to show impressive legs. The Way of Water droped less than 30% in its fifth week, adding another $30+ million to its domestic total. It's already up to $1.9 billion worldwide, and it should become the sixth film in history to surpass $2 billion next week. It's also currently 13th all-time in domestic gross and will probably end up in the top ten. As for M3GAN, the film only dropped 40% in its second week, which is great for a horror film. Budgeted at only $12 million, horror continues to be the best bang for your buck in films these days.
