The momentum for Avatar: The Way of Water doesn't appear to be slowing down—the epic science fiction sequel recently surpassed $2.054 billion at the global box office, topping Avengers: Infinity War and becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of all time.
In the coming days, the film will likely swim its way past Star Wars: The Force Awakens' spot at fourth place, where it will sit behind Titanic, another movie from Cameron. Whether the film can surpass Titanic's $2.194 billion remains to be seen, especially as the 1997 film enters its February re-release in celebration of its 25th anniversary.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Domestically, the film has earned a total of $603 million, currently putting it behind Top Gun: Maverick's $718 million. However, the movie is now tracking ahead of Maverick on its 41st day of release, which tallied $579 million. Should the momentum continue, Avatar: The Way of Water will likely become the highest-grossing domestic release of 2022 in the next several weeks.
While details on the next film remain a mystery, Cameron previously revealed that the film will focus more on Lo'ak , the son of Jake and Neytiri , and will feature the Ash People, a Na'vi tribe that lives in the volcanic regions of Pandora. With so much in store for the franchise's future, fans have much to look forward to for the next few years.
Avatar: The Way of Water is now playing in theaters. Check out Collider's interview with Cameron about the Avatar sequels below.
