The global box revenue for James Cameron‘s Avatar: The Way of Water is growing. After a stellar opening weekend of $441.6M, the movie has reached the $500M mark globally. The movie has already amassed a total worldwide box office revenue of $609.7M. According to the box office results, Avatar: The Way of Water has now earned $14.3 million, barely shy of Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick‘s $14.8 million record for the year’s second Wednesday.
The approaching weekend is predicted to see an increase in global stats due to the holiday season being in full gear. It remains to be seen if the James Cameron movie will be able to surpass the mark set by Top Gun: Maverick, which earned $719 million in the US. According to sources from Deadline, despite the current situation of the rise of COVID outbreaks, China at $70.5 million, France at $37 million, Korea at $32.1 million, and India at $26.5 million greatly increased the international collections for the Avatar sequel through Wednesday.
The follow-up to the 2009 mega movie Avatar, which dazzled audiences with cutting-edge 3D technology, is Avatar: The Way of Water. The actors Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana reprise their roles as Jake Sully and Neytiri, 10 years later and now the parents of 5 kids. The return of the Sky People, the Na’vi term for humans, to pursue Jake disrupts their tranquil existence. In addition to the original cast members, Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet is a fresh addition to the movie.
With $2.9 billion in worldwide ticket sales, the original 2009 movie is still the all-time box office success. The sequel is anticipated to maintain a significant presence at the global box office in the next weeks, despite the possibility that it won’t last as long as the original movies. James Cameron, the director, and the co-writers sought to create a plot that could be spread across four more films, but the sequel was repeatedly postponed. Both the third Avatar movie and a portion of the fourth movie have already been shot.
