Avatar: The Way of Water surpassed $2 billion in worldwide box office sales.James Cameron's latest film joins the small circle of productions that have reached this stratospheric box office figure. As of this moment, it is the sixth highest grossing film in history.
The Avatar sequel got off to a shaky start. Its box office performance during its first weeks in theaters was not what Cameron and the rest of the cast and crew desired. It grossed about $100 million less than projected on opening weekend. However, little by little, audiences flocked to the movies and, in just six weeks in theaters, it reached $2 billion in box office sales.
With Avatar and The Way of Water, James Cameron now has made three films that have exceeded $2 billion in revenue.
Long way to go to catch the original
Some project that Avatar: The Way of Water will surpass the original Avatar at the box office. With the $2,923,706,026 in gross sales in 2009, the year of its release, the first film occupies the top spot in the ranking of highest-grossing films in history. The sequel has just under $1 billion to go to surpass it.
James Cameron's production still has a long way to go to be the highest grossing film in history. In addition to Avatar, the following films are also ahead:
- Avengers: Endgame ($2,799,439,100).
- Titanic ($2,194,690,964).
- Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens ($2,071,310,218).
- Avengers: Infinity War ($2,052,415,039).
