BOX OFFICE FORECAST

Results at the box office will look a lot like last weekend. Avatar: The Way of Water ought to easily take the crown with another $15 million in revenue.

M3GAN, Puss In Boots, A Man Called Otto, and Missing round out the top-5.

Several Oscar-nominated films are returning to megaplexes or expanding the number of screens. Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans will double its number of theaters to 2000. Other Best Picture nominees hoping to cash-in are Elvis, Top Gun: Maverick and Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Two new releases, Infinity Pool and Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist will struggle to earn $2 million this weekend. (Box Office Pro)
