"Avatar 2" has topped the charts for 7 consecutive weeks and may be overtaken by Shyamalan's new work "The Visit"

After an astonishing 7 weeks at the top of the US box office charts, Avatar: The Way of Water may finally fall from its throne. It is currently expected that the thriller The Visit to the Cabin will top the box office charts in the new week.

DEADLINE recently reported that based on tracking data from 3,600 theaters in the U.S., M. Night Shyamalan's new film is expected to earn $15 million to $17 million at the weekend. However, this number was obtained before all film reviews were released, so the box office curve may change in the future: the film currently has a score of only 6/10 on IMDB and Metacritic.

"The Visit" stars Johnathon Groff and Ben Aldridge as a couple and their adopted daughter who come to a cabin. Four strangers, played by Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Abby Quinn, break into the cabin and force them to sacrifice one of their three members. The reason is that if they don't do so, it will cause the end of the world.

Even with the overtaken, Avatar: The Path of Water is still expected to earn tens of millions of dollars in its eighth weekend, which will make it surpass The Avengers in the U.S. The film's total box office in January exceeded $2 billion.
