AvatarTheWayOfWater is off and running at the box office with $17 million in Thursday previews. The sequel is projected to make $150 million to $175 million in its opening weekend.
’s underwater “Avatar” follow-up is projected to make $150 million to $175 million in its opening weekend, which would rank as one of the biggest debuts of 2022. The power of Pandora may be no match for the might of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, as “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” are likely to retain the top domestic openings of the year.
Domestically, “The Way of Water” opens in 4,202 theaters Friday. It has bowed in a total of 44 international markets, where it has made $50.4 million so far, not including Chinese grosses. In China, it opened to $18.5 million. Back in 2009, the original “Avatar” opened to just $77 million, a decent start. But thanks to stellar word-of-mouth and pricey 3D tickets, the movie held the No. 1 spot for seven straight weeks and eventually ballooned to $760 million in North America and $2.92 billion worldwide.
“The Way of Water” hopes to replicate that kind of staying power. Repeat viewings and a clear holiday season should give the big-budget sequel the chance to grow its audience in the next few weeks. So far, Disney reported “The Way of Water” has sold $38 million in advance ticket sales, putting it above “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Jurassic World Dominion” , but behind “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Nation's largest water supplier declares drought emergencyThe nation's largest water supplier has declared a drought emergency for all of Southern California, clearing the way for potential mandatory water restrictions early next year that could impact 19 million people. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California provides water to 26 different agencies that supply major population centers like Los Angeles and San Diego counties. It doesn't rain much in Southern California, so the district imports about half of its water from the Colorado River and the northern Sierra Nevada via the State Water Project — a complex system of dams, canals and reservoirs that provides drinking water for much of the state.
