Not even the Na'vi can handle M3GAN AvatarTheWayOfWater was knocked from its number 1 position at the box office on Friday by the Blumhouse horror movie for the first time since its release.
Avatar: The Way of Water has been knocked from its No. 1 daily domestic box office perch for the first time thanks to the killer doll flick M3GAN. Coming 13 years after the original 2009 film, Avatar: The Way of Water reunites director James Cameron with stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, and Sigourney Weaver, among others. Since its theatrical debut on December 16, 2022, the Avatar sequel has already grossed over $1.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Collider, Avatar: The Way of Water is facing some competition however as the promising box office run of M3GAN has just earned another feather to put in its cap. Although Avatar: The Way of Water will still be claiming the No. 1 spot for the weekend as a whole with a total gross of about $10 million ahead of M3GAN's three-day projections, M3GAN's Friday opening box office was a whopping $11.7 million.
There are likely quite a few reasons for the film's success. First, the film seems to be bridging the gap between critics and audiences, with a Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 94 percent that shows most viewers agreeing that, whether the film is to their tastes, it's a fun time at the movies. There was also a huge viral moment from the M3GAN trailer featuring the titular killer doll dancing with a sharp weapon that inspired many a meme, including a TikTok dance challenge.
What Will be the Next Film to Challenge Avatar: The Way of Water? However, even though M3GAN has knocked Avatar: The Way of Water down a peg, this doesn't mean that the smash hit movie is losing steam any time soon. The film has already become the ninth highest-grossing film of all time and is likely to climb even higher on the chart before its run is over.
