‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Is The Third-Highest Grossing Movie

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ has sailed past Titanic at the global box office with $2.243.3 billion in global ticket sales to become the No. 3 movie of all time. James Cameron, who directed both films, lays claim to three of the four top-grossing movies in history.

The sci-fi sequel has generated $2.2433 billion globally, enough to overtake “Titanic” with $2.2428 billion at the worldwide box office. Now, “The Way of Water” trails only “Avatar” ($2.92 billion) and “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.7 billion) on all-time box office charts.

Like the original “Avatar,” the follow-up’s success is attributed to its generation-spanning appeal as well as the incentive to watch the film in premium and 3D formats. On Imax screens, the movie has crossed $250 million. That’s more coinage than many films manage to earn in their entire theatrical runs.

Disney and 20th Century spent roughly $460 million to produce and promote “The Way of Water,” which is one of the most expensive films ever.

The long-delayed sequel opened on the big screen in December and has remained in the top five on box office charts for 10 consecutive weeks. Zoe Saldaña and Sam Worthington star in the otherworldly saga about family. A third instalment is set to debut in December 2024 with plans for fourth and fifth entries in the coming years.

Avatar: The Way of Water is a 2022 American epic science fiction film directed and produced by James Cameron. He co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver from a story the trio wrote with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno.
