The third-highest-grossing film in history, James Cameron's blockbuster epic "Titanic," has been surpassed by his other blockbuster epic, "Avatar: The Way of Water."
The sci-fi sequel outperformed "Titanic" ($2,2428 billion) at the global box office thanks to its $2.2433 billion worldwide gross. In the all-time charts, "The Way of Water" is currently only behind "Avatar" ($2.92 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.7 billion). The first, third, and fourth highest box office hits ever were all directed by James Cameron, the only director with three films that have made $2 billion or more.
Shawn Robbins, the head analyst of BoxOfficePro, claims that James Cameron "simply keeps chasing himself on the box office charts." "He obviously understands how to captivate a contemporary audience."
Similar to the first "Avatar," the sequel's popularity can be ascribed to its appeal across generations as well as the draw of watching it in premium and 3D versions. The movie has surpassed $250 million on Imax screens. That amount of money exceeds what many movies bring in during their entire theatrical runs.
"The Way of Water" has earned $657 million in North America, making it the ninth-highest-earning film of all time. It will need to surpass "Titanic," which is currently at No. 8 on the all-time domestic charts with $659 million in revenue, and "Avengers: Infinity War," which is currently at No. 7 with $678 million.
At $1.585 billion, "Avatar 2" has surpassed "Titanic" to rank as the third-highest international release of all time. In terms of overseas ticket sales, it is only second to 2009's "Avatar" ($2.1 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($1.9 billion). China ($242 million), France ($144 million), Germany ($135 million), and Korea ($106 million) are notable markets. More than 20 nations, including France, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Turkey, UAE, Cambodia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, rate it as the highest-grossing movie of all time.
The Way of Water," one of the most expensive films ever, was produced and promoted by Disney and 20th Century for approximately $460 million. The long-awaited sequel debuted in December and has spent 10 straight weeks in the top five of box office rankings. In the surreal family saga, Sam Worthington and Zoe Salda appear. With plans for a fourth and fifth episode in the following years, a third installment is scheduled to premiere in December 2024.
