The Avatar re-release fends off Don't Worry Darling to win the global box office
The higꦉhest-grossing movie of all time adds $30 million to its gl🎃obal gross

Despite first being released in cinemas over 13 years ago, Avatar remains a force to be reckoned with at the box office. The movie, which has been re-released following a 4K digital remaster by director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron, grossed $30.5 million over the weekend, beating newcomer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Don't Worry Darling, which took $30 million.
Those numbers come from , which notes that Avatar did particularly well globally, taking $10 million in North America and $20.5 million outside of the country. Of note, 75% of all ticket sales were from IMAX screens. Avatar's all-time global gross now stands at $2,877,897,339, making it the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:highest-grossing movie ever, ahead of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame at $2,797,501,328.
That Avatar's still able to bring people to cinemas – despite having been available on home release for well over a decade – bodes well for the sequel, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avatar: The Way Of Water. The follow-up reaches cinemas this December and promises to be another technological feat. Cameron's back in the director's seat, and will also helm a multitude of other sequels. In fact, 澳ꦚ洲幸运5开奖号码🌼历史查询:Avatar 4 recently went into production.
Meanwhile, Olivia Wilde's dystopian drama beat Avatar in North America with a $19 million weekend, proving that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the real-life controversies around the movie only whetted appetites to see Florence Pugh and🐻 Harry Styles on screen.
Whether Don't Worry Darling can remain at the top of the North American box office remains unclear: word of mouth has been mixed, the movie landing a 38% score on the aggregate site and a B- Cinemascore.
