Avatar: The Way of Water held the top spot of the box-office weekend by a margin of $44.6 million as it lifted its two-week total to $253.7 million.
Falling from second-place last weekend all the way to sixth-place this weekend was Violent Night with $1.9 million. The film now lays claim to a four-week total of $40.3 million. The fourth debut this weekend, The Whale, crept into the top ten in its third weekend of release with $921,000 to land in seventh place and bring its overall total to $2.5 million. Falling three spots to finish in eighth-place this weekend, The Menu brought in $617,000 and lifted its six-week tally to $33.8 million. Steven Spielberg and The Fabelmans dropped two spots to finish in ninth place over the weekend with $550,000. This gives the film a seven-week total of $9.7 million. Finally, after finishing in fourth-place last weekend, Strange World tumbled all the way to the tenth spot this weekend with $410,000 as it teeters on leaving the top ten after amassing a five-week total of $35.6 million.
All of this activity pushed four film from last out of the top ten after they appeared there last weekend. Despite finishing in sixth place last weekend, Devotion didn’t make enough to crack this week’s top ten and leaves with a six-week total of $19.1 million. Meanwhile, the eighth-, ninth-, and tenth-place films from last weekend similarly bowed out of the top ten this weekend. Black Adam departs with an overall tally of $167.9 million; while I Heard the Bells leaves with $5.7 million in the back; and, Empire of Light takes a bow after bringing in a total to $705,000.
