AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER Is Now the Fourth Highest Grossing Film of All Time
Director James Cameron’s long-awaited sequel Avatar: The Way of Water certainly made a big splash in the box office and is still trucking along in the number one spot, seven weeks in. It just crossed the $2.11 Billion dollar mark globally, and just this past weekend alone, it raked in $15.7 million from 3,600 North American theaters between Friday and Sunday, enough to claim the No. 1 spot for the seventh consecutive weekend.
On Friday, it passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.071 billion) to become the fourth-highest grossing movie in history. Now, The Way of Water ranks behind only Avatar ($2.92 billion), Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion), and Titanic ($2.19 billion) in terms of worldwide ticket sales. Cameron has directed three of those four releases, putting the filmmaker in unmatched company.
It hasn’t had a whole lot of competition in the month of January, but we are about to see a slew of new movies hit theatres in the month of February, including Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is sure to rock the box office.
