The success is confirmed for Avatar 2: The Way of the Water. 13 years after the release of the first, this second opus is making a thunderous start in cinemas around the world. Today, the (very) feature film directed by James Cameron has even exceeded one billion dollars in revenue.
It must be said that one could expect it. Whereas 2009, Avatar had already enabled Century Fox studios to produce nearly $3 billion profits, Avatar 2 is also on the right track. Currently 45th in the ranking of the biggest box office hits of all time – ranking chaired by Avatar 1 – Avatar 2: The Way of the Water shouldn’t have to wait long to climb places and settle comfortably on the podium. It would also only be a matter of days before James Cameron’s film exceeds Top Gun: Maverick as biggest hit of the year (the film worn by Tom Cruise having made 1.5 billion dollars in revenue).
A huge success that impresses and is quite rare. Indeed, if it is quite common to see films exceed one billion dollars in revenue, it is much rarer, for film sequels, to achieve such success. Avatar 2 goes down in history and joins, for example, Spider-Man: No Way Home as a huge cinematic blockbuster for a movie sequel.
