Avatar 2 Expected To FINALLY Be Dethroned From No. 1 Box Office Spot

After nearly two months of dominating the box office, Avatar: The Way of Water is finally expected to be dethroned from the No. 1 spot. Since releasing in theaters on December 16, James Cameron's long-awaited sci-fi sequel has claimed the top spot at the box office every weekend, even with new releases like M3GAN, A Man Called Otto, and Plane. Now, there is an upcoming release from an acclaimed director that is finally expected to knock Avatar: The Way of Water off from its pedestal.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY According to Variety, Knock at the Cabin is expected to finally dethrone Avatar: The Way of Water from the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend. In its opening weekend, M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller is projected to gross $15 million to $20 million. This should be enough to beat Cameron's enduring blockbuster, which is projected to gross about $11 million in its eighth weekend in theaters and compete with new comedy 80 For Brady for second place.

With its seven-consecutive first-place finishes, Avatar: The Way of Water has raked in a total of $2.117 billion globally. This is enough for the fourth highest-grossing film ever behind Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Cameron's own Titanic. Even if overtaken by Shyamalan’s thriller, Avatar: The Way of Water could look to reclaim the top spot the following weekend, when it will be going up against another new release in Magic Mike's Last Dance.

Knock at the Cabin's Box Office Projections Explained Even though it could top Avatar: The Way of Water, Knock at the Cabin's projected opening weekend gross of $15-20 million sounds modest compared to some of Shyamalan’s past hits, such as The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. However, it is more in line with what his last thriller, 2021's Old, made in its opening weekend, albeit during a time when the COVID-19 pandemic was surging.
