Barely a few days have passed since ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ dethroned ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ as the highest-grossing film released in 2022, but its success continues to grow: it has already exceeded 1.7 billion dollars in worldwide revenue, which places it as the seventh highest-grossing film in cinema history.
The 1,708 million accumulated by the science fiction film of James Cameron They have been enough to snatch seventh place from ‘Jurassic World’, which achieved 1,672 million in 2015. Of course, now it will take a while to climb more positions, since the next target to beat is ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and its 1,906 million.
In addition, ‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ continues one more weekend in front of the North American box office with 45 million dollars more, which represents a drop of 33% with respect to the income of the previous weekend. A great figure to be its fourth week in theaters, but slightly lower than what was achieved at the time by the first installment, which made 50 million in its fourth weekend.
What does seem clear is that ‘The Sense of Water’ will become the sixth film to exceed 2,000 million dollars worldwide. An indisputable success that makes the popularity of the Pandora universe very clear which will return at the end of 2024 with the release of ‘Avatar 3’. Zero surprises if in 2025 there are already three films from the franchise in the Top 10 of the list of the highest grossing films in history.
