James Cameron's AvatarTheWayOfWater has impressively reached $1 billion in less than two weeks at the global box office.
Proving naysayers wrong , director James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has shot past the coveted $1 billion mark at the global box office in just under two weeks of release — although it opened in a handful of international markets some days prior to its stateside debut.
This takes the film past the lifetime global tally of Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and puts it at the third spot behind Jurassic World Dominion and Top Gun: Maverick on the 2022 list. The Way of Water is overtaking Dominion as we speak, and is expected to finish as the top-performing film of 2022 when the dust settles . Adjusted projections put the film’s final tally between $1.6 billion and $1.9 billion.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While this would be considered a tremendous result on literally any other occasion, it’s still unclear if the film can hit the estimated break-even point Cameron has revealed it needs to meet before being considered profitable. The filmmaker previously stated that The Way of Water would need to finish as the third or fourth-biggest film of all time, which means the film would need to haul in approximately $2 billion at the global box office.
The sequel catches up with Jake Sully and Neytiri over a decade after the first film and follows them as they flee their home and seek refuge with the water clans of Pandora as the war with humans persists. The positive word of mouth certainly helped make the film one of three films this year to reach $1 billion mark. With virtually no competition, at least until Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania drops in February, it will be interesting to see how far the film will go at the box office.
