AvatarTheWayofWater passes $2 billion at the worldwide box office, set to surpass StarWars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War next.
Avatar: The Way of Water is continuing its domination of the box office both in North America and around the globe. The film has officially become only the sixth movie in history to earn $2 billion worldwide. James Cameron has now directed half of those movies, with the original Avatar and Titanic previously achieving the milestone. According to Disney, Avatar: The Way of Water will close its sixth weekend with $2.
At this rate, the film will soon climb higher, passing Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War to become the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time. The original Avatar is the highest-grossing film ever, with $2.9 billion. The film reclaimed that position in 2021 from Avengers: Endgame, which had taken the top spot on the chart during its release in 2019. Endgame remains the second-highest-grossing film of all time with $2.79 billion.
Avatar: The Way of Water has gotten a mostly positive reception from critics, though its Rotten Tomatoes score dipped following its debut. The consensus on the review aggregator reads,"Narratively, it might be fairly standard stuff -- but visually speaking, Avatar: The Way of Water is a stunningly immersive experience."
ComicBook.com's Liam Crowley had high praise for the film, awarding it a 5-out-of-5 review:"Film is an ever-evolving medium that, for better or worse, demands a"what have you done for me lately" hunger from its audience. In the 13 years between Avatar films, fans have been treated to a rebirth of Star Wars, the meteoric rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and an overall box office boom that has made billion-dollar pictures a regular occurrence.
