Amazon MGM Studios' dystopian thriller 'Mercy,' starring Chris Pratt, is projected to top the domestic box office with $12.6 million over the weekend, unseating 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' after five weeks at number one. A massive winter storm from Texas to New England has forced numerous theater closures, contributing to the lowest-grossing weekend of 2026 so far at $58.4 million. The storm's impact includes shutdowns at major chains like AMC, Cinemark, and Regal.
Chris Pratt's sci-fi thriller 'Mercy' is projected to debut with $10 million to $13 million in North American theaters, aiming to end 'Avatar: Fire and Ash's five-week run at the top. The film marks Amazon MGM's first major release of 2026. 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' is expected to earn $8 million to $10 million in its sixth weekend.
