According to studio estimates on Sunday, “Avatar: The Way of Water” remained at the top of the domestic box office charts for the seventh weekend, grossing an additional $15.7 million.

Overall, it was a quiet weekend, notable primarily for the Hindi language blockbuster “Pathaan,” which debuted in the top five, and post-Oscar nominations rereleases of films such as “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once” and “The Fabelmans.”

“Avatar 2’s” first-place finish Only the first “Avatar” had a long run in North America, and “Titanic” had a longer run in the last 25 years (which stayed in first place for 15 weeks). James Cameron directed all three.

Globally, “The Way of Water” has now surpassed “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to become the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time (of which Cameron has directed three).

“James Cameron keeps ticking off all the records and milestones,” said Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “And it still has a wide-open market.”

Puss And Boots Came Second To Avatar

Universal and DreamWorks’ family-friendly offering “Puss In Boots: The Last Wish” came in second with $10.6 million in its sixth weekend. The animated spinoff has earned more than $140.8 million in North America and was recently made available for home viewing.

Sony’s “A Man Called Otto” came in third place with $6.8 million from 3,957 locations. Universal’s meme-worthy horror “M3GAN” slipped into fourth place with $6.4 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $82.3 million.

“Pathaan,” an Indian film starring Shah Rukh Kha in his first role in five years, finished fifth with $5.9 million from only 695 screens.

“A top-five appearance is really impressive,” Dergarabedian said, noting that the market has provided opportunities for Indian films to break into the domestic top ten in recent years.

The horror movie “Infinity Pool,” which was written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg and starred Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard, was shown in 1,853 theaters by Neon after its debut at Sundance. It earned approximately $2.7 million. “Maybe I Do,” starring Diane Keaton, Richard Gere, and Susan Sarandon, grossed $562,000 from 465 screens. And Lukas Dhont’s Cannes-winning boyhood drama “Close” earned $68,143 in its first weekend on four screens in New York and Los Angeles.

avatarOscar Buzz Is Just Beginning

Many studios with best picture nominees decided to use the buzz around Tuesday’s Oscar nominations to re-release their movies in big ways. “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once,” which received a record 11 nominations, returned to theatres in force, playing on 1,400 screens and earning another $1 million. The A24 release has grossed $71 million in the United States. “The Fabelmans,” directed by Steven Spielberg and nominated for seven Academy Awards, was also shown on 1,962 more screens in North America and made an extra $760,000, bringing the total amount made in the United States to $16 million. In addition, Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking” gained a few hundred screens and earned $1 million over the weekend. To date, it has earned $2.4 million. The Oscar buzz could continue in the coming weeks, as the ceremony is on March 12.

“We’re seeing the halo effect of the Oscar nominations on these best picture nominees in real time,” Dergarbedian said. “The Oscar bounce has returned, which we haven’t seen in a few years.”

Several of the weekend’s most high-profile releases were star-studded comedies that went straight to streaming: Netflix had “You People,” starring Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jonah Hill, and Lauren London, and Amazon Prime Video had “Shotgun Wedding,” starring Jennifer Lopez, Josh Duhamel, and Jennifer Coolidge.

The Next Big Blockbuster On Everyone’s Minds

Seven weekends into “Avatar 2,” theatre owners are probably looking for the next big blockbuster, which is still some time away. “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” does not hit theatres until February 17.

However, as Dergarabedian pointed out, “2023 is already looking more like 2019 than the previous three years.”

“This is fantastic news for theatres,” he stated. “You’ve got the Oscar bounce, an Indian film in the top five, and ‘Avatar’ breaking records left and right.”

Comscore estimates ticket sales for Friday at US and Canadian theatres, with Wednesday through Sunday in parentheses. The final domestic data will be released on Monday.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender” is a $15.7 million total amount.

“The Last Wish of Puss in Boots,” The total amount is $10.6 million.
“A Man Called Otto,” No. 3 6.8 million dollars.

“M3GAN” grossed $6.4 million.

Streaming of iBOMMA Telugu Movies Surges in Canada

Published

on

iBOMMA Telugu Movies have emerged not only as a leader, but as one of the most important platforms for streaming Telugu movies in Canada
Check out the upcoming release dates for all Telugu films.

In recent years, iBOMMA Telugu Movies have emerged not only as a leader, but as one of the most important platforms for streaming Telugu movies in Canada. In the midst of the increase in the international establishment of streaming services in the western sphere.

This rapid expansion of  Telugu Movies can also be seen in the demand for regional content due to the increasing South Asian population within Canada.

The growth of the iBOMMA platform makes sense as there is a large population of Telugu speakers in Canada. The growing South Asian population in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and others has aided in the diversification of the market and similar platforms.

“Between 2013 and 2023, Indians immigrating to Canada rose from 32,828 to 139,715, an increase of 326%,” according to Forbes.

Indian enrollment at Canadian universities rose more than 5,800% in the last two decades, from 2,181 in 2000 to 128,928 in 2021, an increase of 126,747 students.

Between 2016 and 2019, Indian international students enrolled in U.S. universities dropped by 13% but increased by 182% at Canadian universities. Diplomatic issues between India and Canada have reduced Indian student visa approvals in the short term.

International student enrollment at Canadian universities rose from 62,223 in 2000 to 400,521 in 2021, increasing by 544%, according to the NFAP analysis. International student enrollment in America increased by 45% between 2000 and 2021.

Due to the increase in Telugu speaking people in Canada, streaming services for Telugu Canadians have shifted focus from entertainment to a tool to maintain their culture. With iBOMMA and its peers, they are able to stay in touch with a piece of their motherland while adapting to the realities of life in the Great White North.

Telugu cinema has started to grow in popularity outside of India, with several recent classics gradually starting to become of interest to the general populace. RRR and Kantara are among a slew of movies that are now finding success on a global stage, thus generating interest in films originating from the region.

This has in turn brought new customers onto iBOMMA Telugu Movies and introduced the platform to a whole new demographic of non Telugu – speakers.

In Canada these blockbusters have sparked some discussions and fans expressing their excitement on social media. The buzz around such films has often caused an increase in searches for options to stream the film, with iBOMMA Telugu Movies being a top.

Superman 2025 Trailer Drops With Great Fanfare

Published

Superman 2025
James Gunn's next film, Superman 2025, has its first teaser trailer, which dropped on Thursday

James Gunn’s next film, Superman 2025, has its first teaser trailer, which dropped on Thursday. It gives DC fans their first look at David Corenswet’s Superman, AKA Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Before its release, DC Studios unveiled a Superman 2025 enamel pin on Monday featuring a revamped Corenswet in her superhero costume and an updated depiction of Pierce Brosnahan’s daring reporter on Wednesday.

In 2025, Superman fans will be able to enjoy Gunn’s new storytelling, a new main actor, and more character development. Many are also curious about whether Superman will face Ultraman.

The preview opens with Superman, battered and bloodied, crash-landing in a desolate, icy scene. His canine sidekick, Krypto, also known as Super Dog, rushes to his aid after he has visions of himself as Clark in the Daily Planet office and at his parents’ house.

The trailer offers few storyline details, aside from the involvement of a fire-breathing dragon and the shaved-head Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It seems that Superman 2025 also attracts the ire of the general public; one irate citizen even beaned him on the back of the head with a throwaway cup.

After revealing his grand vision for the newly formed DCU in 2023, Gunn’s film—originally named Superman: Legacy—would serve as the prequel to a trilogy dubbed Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The sequels will feature films centred around Supergirl, Clayface, and Swamp Thing.

Krypto Appears in Superman 2025

Despite living among other super-beings, Gunn noted that Corenswet’s Superman can stand on Earth due to his devotion and honesty.

In addition to his enormous stronghold that emerges from the ground, Superman possesses a flying dog and battles enormous creatures. The director praised Superman in his film for bringing elements from the comics and mythology that fans have been missing from the superhero franchise.

He may have done it again with Krypto, this time with a take that challenges the canine stereotype of a muscular, well-groomed hero.

More than anything else, this one appears to be a rescue operation. According to Gunn, the dog that steals the show in the trailer isn’t the greatest. You’re missing out on much of Krypto’s depth in this trailer.

According to Gunn, “it’s a movie about kindness” when asked about the film’s themes.

In the 2025 teaser for Superman, Superman only says, “Take me home,” and whispers Krypto’s name. John Williams’s iconic score from the Christopher Reeve films gets a modern update to underscore the video.

Superman 2025, the first solo film starring Superman since 2013’s Man of Steel, opens on July 11, and a lot is riding on it.

The property is the foundation for the ambitious plans of DC Studios co-chiefs Gunn and Peter Safran, who were appointed to re-invent DC by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. Their plans include an entire universe of television shows and films.

Furthermore, subtitles have made Telugu movies available to non-Telugu-speaking Canadians.
