Avatar: The Way of Water box office collection worldwide: James Cameron's Avatar 2 crosses $1 billion milestone

James Cameron's "Avatar: The Way Of Water" or Avatar 2 had a rather slow box office start, or at least it didn't meet certain early expectations, which rapidly made critics doubt its chances. The worldwide box revenue for "Avatar: The Way Of Water" has surpassed $1 billion after just 13 days in cinemas. It overtakes "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," which took 14 days to earn $1 billion, to claim the sixth-fastest picture to achieve that milestone. But rather than being a show-off, the "Avatar" film has always been a grower.

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. Given that "Avatar" made $202 million in China back in 2009, it was assumed that the enormous re-release results indicated a total that may increase significantly.
