'Mercy' defeats 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' at the weekend box office

Amazon MGM's Mercy led the U.S. box office in its sixth weekend while Avatar: Fire and Ash surpassed $1 billion overseas, becoming the 14th title to reach this milestone.

  • On Friday, Amazon MGM Studios' Mercy topped the U.S. box office in its sixth weekend, displacing 20th Century Studios' Avatar: Fire and Ash stateside while both continued earning overseas.
