LOS ANGELES — “Avatar: The Way of Water" sailed to the top of the box office in its second weekend, bringing in a strong $58 million in North America that suggests it may stay afloat into the new year and approach the massive expectations that met its release.Despite a winter storm, “Avatar 2” pulled in $58 million in its second weekendShrek spinoff, “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," finished second with $11.
“This is James Cameron’s first $100 million opener,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore “For this movie to have opened that big and only dropped 58%, it shows it has staying power.” It's also clear sailing for the film looking ahead, with more holiday time coming and no comparable competition until February, when Marvel's “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is released.“The biggest foe that Avatar is facing at this moment is the weather,” Dergarabedian said.
The tepid, $6.5 million opening weekend in October of director David O. Russell's “Amsterdam," another film, set in a similar period, that combined prestige, scope, star power and a celebrated auteur, brought industry worries that audiences just weren't flocking to theaters for such films.
