James Cameron’s "Avatar: The Way of Water", the sequel to the worldwide 2009 blockbuster "Avatar", has overtaken Cameron’s other blockbuster “Titanic” as the third-highest-grossing movie in history at the international box office.
The 20th Century Studios/Disney sci-fi epic has now generated $1.538 million overseas, trailing only James Cameron’s other blockbuster “Avatar” ($2.1 billion) and “Avengers: Endgame” ($1.9 billion) in terms of international ticket sales.
Cameron is responsible for three of the four biggest international releases of all time. The sci-fi sequel has resonated across the globe, with $636 million at the domestic box office and $2.174 billion worldwide.
On a global scale, the follow-up film ranks as the fourth-highest-grossing movie in history following “Avatar” ($2.92 billion), “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.7 billion), and “Titanic” ($2.19 billion).
"Avatar: Way of Water" is currently the No. 4 biggest movie of all time worldwide. It’ll likely pass the global tally for “Titanic” in the next week or so.
Avatar fans have been waiting thirteen years for its sequel, which premiered on December 16 and started ten years after the original.
Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña returned as Jake and Neytiri. They now live in Pandora with their family.
Sigourney Weaver, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, Oona Chaplin, Vin Diesel, Stephen Lang, Matt Gerald, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Dileep Rao, Giovanni Ribisi, and Kate Winslet also star in the movie.
Cameron, who has been working on the sequel since 2013, said previously that for the movie to be profitable, it will “have to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history. That’s your threshold. That’s your break even.”
The movie is the first of four “Avatar” sequels planned. An untitled third “Avatar” movie is set for release on December 20, 2024.
Filming has been completed on "Avatar 3", while production on a fourth and fifth film is underway.
