Avatar 2 Surpasses $2 Billion in Ticket Sales

After just six weeks of release, James Cameron’s blockbuster sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water” has surpassed $2 billion in global ticket sales. 

 

It’s the sixth film in history – and first in pandemic times – to cross the coveted milestone, joining an exclusive club that includes “Avatar”, “Avengers: Endgame”, “Titanic”, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, and “Avengers: Infinity War”. 

 

Just so you know, Cameron is responsible for 3 of the six-highest grossing movies of all time. He’s also the only director with three films to cross $2 billion.

Note: The original “Avatar”, which debuted in theaters 13 years ago, remains the biggest movie of all time with $2.9 billion. “Avengers: Endgame” trails closely behind in second place with $2.79 billion, while “Titanic” stands as the third-highest grossing release ever with $2.19 billion.
