James Cameron has outdone himself as his newest release, Avatar: The Way of Water, pushes Titanic down to the No. 4 picture of all time and has taken the No. 3 spot with worldwide earning of $2.243 billion.
Avatar 2 has leveled up at the global box office with $2.243 billion in global ticket sales – not adjusted for inflation – to become the No. 3 movie of all time. This is after 1997’s Titanic received a boost to its $2.194 billion worldwide gross with its global 3D anniversary rerelease earlier this month; the film now stands at $2.242 billion globally.
Avatar 2’s domestic gross is $657 million, putting it at No. 9 of all time and remaining behind Titanic on the domestic list. However, the film has amassed $1.586 billion internationally, fixing the film as the third-best showing behind Avatar and the Russo brothers’ Avengers: Endgame.
James Cameron has now directed three of the top four top-grossing movies in history, including the original Avatar film, which still holds firm at No. 1 with $2.92 billion at the worldwide box office. Avatar: The Way of Water is not expected to overthrow Endgame from its No. 2 spot with $2.79 billion in global ticket sales or the original movie.
It’s undeniable that Cameron has further cemented himself as one of the industry’s most innovative filmmakers, with his films collectively grossing over $8 billion worldwide, making him the second highest-grossing director, second only to Steven Spielberg.
