Three weeks on top now for the sequel to the 2009 movie Avatar which takes $66.8 Million this weekend which is the same as from the Christmas weekend last week.
This gives the movie an amazing total of $425 Million over its 3 weeks of release, and it is tracking about $12 Million ahead of Avatar which is the 4th highest grossing movie of all time in America.
The movie is the third highest grossing movie of 2022 in North America and with 2022 over now Top Gun: Maverick takes the honor of the top movie of the year, but the Avatar sequel could in a few weeks become the top grossing movie released in 2022.
The sequel movie from the Shrek universe remains at number 2 this weekend with a gross of $16.3 Million, a 12% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross of $60 Million over 2 weeks of release.
