AvatarTheWayOfTheWater makes box office history by crossing $2 billion worldwide! It's just one of six films to ever reach this milestone, and the third James Cameron-directed movie to pass the $2 billion mark, joining Titanic and the first Avatar.
Avatar: The Way of Water's record-breaking box office run has now reached over $2 billion. The film, which opened on December 16, 2022, is the belated sequel to James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar, which remains the highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per The Hollywood Reporter, the box office of Avatar: The Way of Water has achieved another huge milestone this weekend. The film has now amassed a total of $2.024 billion worldwide, making it one of just six films to have ever crossed the $2 billion benchmark in cinema history. It is the third film to have earned this distinction to be directed by James Cameron, as his 1997 smash hit Titanic currently occupies the No. 3 spot at $2.
Another thing that has helped the film achieve its titanic success is the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has limited the amount of tentpole blockbusters that have been able to come to theaters in the past few years. The most recent major blockbuster before the release of Avatar: The Way of Water was the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, coming out over a month before on November 11.
There is also a huge swath of time between Avatar: The Way of Water and the next major tentpole. The film has continued to take No. 1 every weekend in January and likely will continue to do so until the next MCU entry, which is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania on February 17. This has allowed it to continue gobbling up ticket sales unimpeded, with a few blips on the chart here and there like the outstanding gross for the Blumhouse horror film M3GAN.
