AvatarTheWayOfWater passes $955 million at the global box office.
After an excellent second weekend at the box office, where it ended up exceeding projections by quite a bit, director James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has shot past the $950 million mark at the global box office to become the third-biggest film of the year. With $293 million domestically and another $661 million from overseas markets, the long-awaited science-fiction sequel has now made $955 million worldwide.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY It is, however, still unclear if the film can hit the high threshold for success that Cameron has publicly set for it. The filmmaker has said The Way of Water was so expensive to produce — reports put the budget north of $400 million — that it will need to finish as the third or fourth-biggest film of all time to break even. This translates to around $2 billion in global box office revenue.
The sequel takes place over a decade after the events of the first film, and follows the protagonists Jake Sully and Neytiri as they flee a familiar threat and seek refuge among the water clans of the tropical world of Pandora. Cameron spent years tinkering with the technology necessary for the sequel, and is presenting the film in state-of-the-art fluctuating High Frame Rate.
