Welcome to The List,
“Avatar: The Way of Water” opens this weekend . . . and not surprisingly, it should open BIG. Estimates are putting it at $150 million to $175 million in the U.S., with a global debut of $450 million to $550 million. The movie is over three hours long, which means fewer showings . . . but at the same time, it really doesn’t have any competition this weekend. “The Way of Water” cost around $400 million to make BEFORE you factor in marketing.
