It’s the calm before the latest “Avatar” storm weekend at the movies.

A few titles of modest ambition are rolling out, “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” is still making money — although not nearly as fast or as much as “Freddy’s 1.”

And “Zootopia 2” reigns supreme, adding another $26.5 million to its already-staggering tally, a film that’s on track to perhaps catch the live-action “Lilo & Stitch” as the biggest hit in North America this year.

“Freddy’s 2” earned a whopping $64 million on its opening weekend, awful reviews be damned. The Numbers confirmed its second weekend at $19.5 million. That’s a staggering 70% falloff driven by word of mouth.  Anything over 60% is a cold slap in the face.

“Wicked: For Good” is still making money, and it better, as awards season is not likely to be generous with it. $8.5 million this weekend.

The Indian wide release “Dhurandhar” is in the top five earning $3.5.

Who on earth is still going to see “”Now You See Me Now You Don’t” in theaters? It’s inexplicably in the top five taking in another $2.47.

The only new wide release this weekend is probably the final film of “Broadcast News/As Good as It Gets” director James L. Brooks.

He’s been an Oscar bait writer-director going back to “Terms of Endearment,” but he hasn’t made anything anyone needed or wanted to see in this millenium. “Spanglish?” Adam Sandler was merely the worst thing in it.

At 88, Brooks tried to serve up a feel good dramedy about a young, idealistic politician who gets things “fixed” despite the hellish media landscape for anybody going into politics today. But “Ella McCay” doesn’t get it done. I’m not the only one who panned it. Brooks is going out with the worst-reviewed movie of his career. As I caught it in an empty theater for a Thursday matinee, the $4 million it Deadline.com originally projected  is Gone with the Wind. $2.2 now.

“Jujutsu Kesen: Assassin” and “Eternity” and “Hamnet” all take up spaces in the second five.

The re-release of Stanley Kubrick’s overkill epic “The Shining” may end up eighth or ninth, with “Hamnet” tenth.

None of the more limited releases coming out — a remake of “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” “Dust Bunny,” etc., will so much as ripple the waters.

Figure on “Predator: Badlands” and the re-release of the “Kill Bill” saga falling out of the top ten as they shed theaters.

“Avatar: Fire and Ash” rolls out next weekend, and that’s projected to devour $100 million or more on its opening weekend.

As always, I’ll update these figures as more data comes in Sat. and Sunday.
