That briefly modified this weekend, with ‘Avatar 2’ changing Cameron’s crown jewel for the third spot … if solely for a day or so. As of Sunday, nevertheless, “Titanic” reclaimed its place.
In different phrases, the two motion pictures (clearly, each Cameron’s) had been flip-flopping in rating — however for now, it seems to be like “Titanic” is holding agency at #3, and ‘Avatar 2’ continues to be #4 … with the newest projections by way of the weekend for each motion pictures being about $2.217B and $2.214B, respectively.
Although “Avatar” made more cash than “Titanic” this weekend … “Titanic” has nonetheless made more cash long-term, nevertheless it’s anticipated ‘Avatar 2’ will overtake it once more within the coming days.
BTW, for those who’re questioning why we’re saying “Titanic” was in theaters this weekend (as if it is 1997 once more) … that is as a result of it was. The movie is celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary and received re-released, which suggests extra ticket gross sales … even in 2023. 😅
Three of Cameron’s movies at the moment are all-timers. The first “Avatar” continues to be king with $2.92 billion, “Avengers: Endgame” is 2nd at $2.79 bil … and the remaining, for the time being.
Congrats on the achievement!
