Avatar: The Way Of Water sailed to the top of the box office in its second weekend, bringing in a strong 56 million US dollars (£46.3 million) in North America that suggests it may stay afloat into the new year and approach the massive expectations that met its release.

James Cameron’s digital extravaganza for 20th Century Studios has made 253.7 million dollars (£210 million) domestically in its first 10 days of release, compared with 212.7 million dollars (£176 million) in the same stretch for 2009’s first Avatar, which would go on to become the highest-grossing film of all time.
