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.
