Avatar 2 box office collection

After 13 years of waiting, audiences are finally able to see what all the fuss surrounding Avatar: The Way of Water is about. The big-budget film hit theaters globally on Dec. 16, and with its gigantic price tag, it has to become one of the highest-grossing movies of all time to break even and justify its hefty budget for the many sequels slated to follow. There’s certainly a fair share of critics whose reviews were not exactly glowing when the embargo lifted earlier this week. “The plot of The Way of Water is designed to seem engagingly complex, but there’s nothing about it that’s truly surprising or particularly moving,” TIME critic Stephanie Zacharek Daily Beast critic Nick Schager had similar feelings, writing that the movie felt “forced and without a single memorable vision.” But if its current rating of 80% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes is any indication, a majority ultimately did enjoy the sequel for the visual spectacle that it is. “Cameron has raised not only the stakes of his effects artistry but the choreographic flow of his staging, to the point of making The Way of Water, like Avatar, into the apotheosis of a must-see movie,” Variety’s chief film critic Owen Gleiberman This movie’s opening weekend performance offers some insight into its box office momentum as it fights to justify its enormous budget. In its first weekend, Avatar: The Way of Water made $134 million in North America alone and $435 million globally, Variety reports. While those numbers seem impressiv...

• Share to Facebook • Share to Twitter • Share to Linkedin Avatar: The Way of Water continues its remarkable theatrical run with another milestone this weekend. Writer-director James Cameron’s Avatar sequel will top $2.1 billion worldwide at the box office this weekend, and still has plenty of gas in the tank. But now we must prepare for Titanic’s 25th anniversary limited return to screens, setting up a potential slugfest between Cameron’s two blockbusters for the #3 spot on all-time box office lists. Titanic currently sits at $2.194 billion, but will significantly increase that total with its remastered 4K HDR 3D rerelease in February. Avatar: The Way of Water, meanwhile, will do its best to catch up and surpass Titanic, but it all depends on whether Titanic’s momentum carries it toward $2.3 billion while Avatar 2’s momentum finally starts to wane in the face of multiple competitors for screens and viewers as the month progresses. Besides Titanic, February also brings Marvel Studio’s inevitable blockbuster sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to multiplexes around the globe, pushing Avatar: The Way of Water off of even more screens. Knock at the Cabin will take over some premium venues on February 3rd, as will Titanic on February 10th, so by the time Ant-Man and the Wasp hits theaters on February 17th, it will be hard for the Avatar sequel to maintain much momentum to help it reach $2.3 billion. But hopefully we’ve all learned by now never to underestimate a James Cam...

Big Number $2.92 billion. That is the total Avatar, which was released in 2009, making it the highest-grossing film of all time according to Box Office Mojo. Key Background After a slower-than-expected opening last month, Avatar: The Way Of Water has managed to maintain strong momentum at the box office, with strong performances during its second, third and now fourth weeks. In an interview on Friday, Cameron said he Avatar sequel is one of the most expensive films ever made, with a budget The Way Of Water’s steep budget, however, also includes the cost of filming a third Avatar movie and developing the scripts for a fourth and fifth film which could make the latter films in the series more profitable. Tangent M3GAN’s strong box office performance in its opening weekend comes after it received 94% M3GAN’s showing is even more impressive considering it was built on ticket sales from cheaper 2D screenings as most Imax and premium format screens are still running the Avatar sequel.

James Even the first "Avatar" movie only made $77 million in its first box office weekend, it played indefinitely and continued to be profitable week after week. The movie has just overtaken "Doctor Strange And The Multiverse of Madness" to become the third-highest-grossing movie of the epidemic period. It will shortly overtake "Jurassic World: Dominion" for the second spot. However, the odds are in its favor. Depending on how it continues to perform globally, adjusted expectations are in the range of $1.6 billion to $1.9 billion based on its legs and hold at the box office. Given that it has only begun, Cameron's "The Way of Water" is aiming for a domestic run that might reach $500 million or more after crossing the $300 million barrier at the box office. Regarding re-releases, the preceding background for "Avatar: The Way of Water" is helpful and also explains why, at least when compared to the initial movie, the current performance of the movie may be a little below average. In China, the 2021 re-release of the first "Avatar" brought in $57 million, and the 2022 worldwide re-release brought in another $75 million.

James Cameron is currently the only filmmaker with three movies in the top 10, and one of only two sets of filmmakers — the others being the Russo Brothers with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame — who have multiple movies in the top 10 at all. Besides Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water, Cameron of course also directed Titanic. He will be the only director with multiple films in the top 5 once his newest movie outgrosses Infinity War (which currently makes the Russos the only filmmakers with multiple films in the top 5). Just like the film itself, the whole media, fan, and cinephile narrative leading up to and right after release for Avatar 2 has been a sequel. We went through the underestimations and gleeful expectations of Cameron eating crow last time around when 2009’s Avatar left naysayers in its dust with an all-time chart-topping performance to the tune of $2.7+ billion (after multiple rereleases, it now stands just a few million dollars shy of $3 billion). Since that reality-induced drubbing, the doubters have been eagerly sharpening their knives for the sequel films and even retroactively insisting the first film wasn’t really all that after all, because who even remembers it and how much did it even affect our culture? Forget that the answers were “apparently everybody including you” and “plenty if you stop treating cultural impact as something only measurable within white western society (and ignoring all examples within even that society, frankly).” ...
