RAMROD 107,661 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 After just six weeks of release, James Cameron’s blockbuster sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water” has surpassed $2 billion in global ticket sales. It’s the sixth film in history — and first in pandemic times — to cross the coveted milestone, joining an exclusive club that includes “Avatar,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Titanic,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” and “Avengers: Infinity War.”Now, Cameron is responsible for three of the six-highest grossing movies of all time. He’s also the only director with three films to cross $2 billion. Notably, “The Way of Water” has officially hit the lofty goal that Cameron set for himself prior to the film’s release. Before the sequel opened in theaters, he told GQ that “Avatar 2” represents “the worst business case in movie history” because it needs to become one of the three or four top-grossing movies of all time just to break even. (Analysts believe the film’s breakeven point was close to $1.5 billion, so “The Way of Water” has already been in the black.) But in the coming days, it’ll take down the fourth- and fifth-biggest movies, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ($2.07 billion) and “Avengers: Infinity War” ($2.04 billion), to achieve that feat. The original “Avatar,” which debuted in theaters 13 years ago, remains the biggest movie of all time with $2.9 billion. “Avengers: Endgame” trails closely behind in second place with $2.79 billion, while “Titanic” stands as the third-highest grossing release ever with $2.19 billion. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/avatar-2-billion-global-box-office-1235498281/amp/ Remember when Cameron said this movie need to make this much to break even few weeks ago? Well, this week was the week it happened. With this, he got 3 movies that reaches $2 Billions now.
