James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water continues to make a massive impact a month and a half after hitting theaters. Just a couple of days after surpassing Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War at the worldwide box office, the first of Cameron's Pandora-centered sequels has now grossed $2.074 billion, placing it above Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $2.07 billion milestone obtained back in 2016.
Over a billion dollars from the film's box office haul has been obtained from 3D screenings, meaning that around half of the people who ventured out to theaters to enjoy the film had a preference for the format. Added to that, The Way of Water became the second highest IMAX-grossing film in history last week, with its then $227 million gross from the format only bested by its predecessor.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Not only is The Way of Water the highest-grossing film of 2022, but is also the highest-grossing film out of this year's Academy Awards nominees for Best Picture. The film is also nominated for Best Visual Effects, Best Production Design and Best Sound. The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will take place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
The first Avatar sequel is currently playing in theaters nationwide, where it is projected to spend its seventh weekend in a row at the top of the domestic box office chart. Check out Collider's interview with Cameron below:
