Domestic total for the sequel should be on the edge of $600 million by Monday, putting the film just a stone\u2019s throw away from taking down \u201cIncredibles 2\u201d ($608 Million) as the 12th highest-grossing film of all time in North America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m\">\nGlobally \u201cThe Way of Water\u201d Officially <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/film\/box-office\/avatar-the-way-of-water-sixth-highest-grossing-film-1235490031\/\">surpassed \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d<\/a> As the sixth-highest grossing film, it earned $1.928 million worldwide. The film\u2019s next milestone will be crossing the $2 billion mark, which has only been achieved by five films, ever: \u201cAvatar\u201d ($2.9 billion), \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d ($2.79 billion), \u201cTitanic\u201d ($2.2 billion), \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d ($2.069 billion). \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d ($2.04 billion). <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m\">\n\tStage 6 Films and Screen Gems\u2019 \u201cMissing\u201d The only major studio to release a wide release this weekend was the thriller. Sony Pictures distributed the thriller and it earned $3.4 million its first day. It is now aiming to finish third or fourth on domestic charts. It\u2019s in a solid place considering its thrifty $7 million production budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m\">\n\tA follow-up to 2018\u2019s \u201cSearching,\u201d the film follows a teenager (Storm Reid) looking for her mother (Nia Long); the film is told through the characters\u2019 screen devices, poring over internet logs and text conversations. The picture is Will Merrick and Nick Johnson&#8217;s directorial debut. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m\">\n\tSecond place looks to go to Universal\u2019s \u201cPuss in Boots: The Last Wish,\u201d Another fantastic week of hold was achieved, with a 14% decrease in sales. After an initial quiet opening, DreamWorks has seen a lot of success recently, despite not having any competition from family audiences. The production has not been shown in public, however. \u201cShrek\u201d spinoff is already available to purchase digitally, that doesn\u2019t seem to have slowed it down; the domestic total looks to reach $127 million by Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m\">\n\tColumbia\u2019s \u201cA Man Called Otto\u201d It projects a $9 million weekend gross, a drop of less than 30% from its expansion over Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. That\u2019s fantastic news for the Tom Hanks vehicle, which has become one of the rare adult-oriented dramas to find a substantial audience at the box office. By Monday, the domestic total should be at least $35 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m\">\n\tFinally, Universal\u2019s horror-comedy \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/m3gan\/\" id=\"auto-tag_m3gan\" data-tag=\"m3gan\">M3GAN<\/a>\u201d The weekend&#8217;s budget is estimated to be $9 million, which would represent a 50% decrease in its previous run.
