James Cameron’s blockbuster sequel Avatar: The Way of Water has claimed the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office for the sixth consecutive week.
The sci-fi epic added $20 million from 3,790 theaters over the weekend.
This roughly is a 40 per cent decline from its prior outing and boosting its North American tally to $598 million.
It’s currently the 13th-highest grossing domestic release in history behind “Incredibles 2” ($608 million), “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” ($620 million) and “The Avengers” ($623 million), but it’s expected to eventually overtake those films.
Notably, “The Way of Water” is officially the sixth film to ever cross $2 billion worldwide.
It has amassed a staggering $2.02 billion at the worldwide box office, recently taking down “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($1.91 billion) as the sixth-highest grossing release of all time. It’s likely to soon dethrone “Avengers: Infinity War” as the fifth-biggest movie with $2.04 billion.
