The big news was James Cameron’s rerelease of Avatar, which brought in an incredible $30.5M worldwide, including $10M from domestic sales and $20.5M from overseas. When it debuts in December, Avatar: The Way of the Water will undoubtedly be a big success.
Elsewhere, at No. 2, The Woman King held firm in its sophomore frame, earning $11.1M (-41%) to bring its domestic total to $36.2M.
