Avatar: The Way of Water Has Surpassed All Other Top 10 Movies

Compared to the other top 10 films, "Avatar: Way of Water" didn't have the biggest opening weekend, but it surpassed them anyway.

Avatar: The Way of Water has become one of the highest-grossing films of all time. The sequel to James Cameron's top-grossing film has been closely watched for its box-office potential since it was initially announced, but it now appears that all those concerns can be dispelled, even though the film has only been in theaters for a few weeks.

While "Avatar: Way of Water" has grossed "only" $1.5 billion worldwide to date, making it the highest-grossing film to hit theaters in 2022, it hasn't cracked the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time list and is still ahead of The original "Avatar" was $1.4 billion behind. Even so, its daily grosses are already higher than any other film in the top 10, which means that as long as it doesn't collapse prematurely, it will be one of the highest-grossing films of all time, considering Long-Legs Cameron's other Two top 10 films, Titanic (the third highest-grossing film of all time) and Avatar (the highest-grossing film of all time), seem suspect.

Avatar The Way of Water's Daily Earnings Are Beating Every Other Top 10 Movie

Avatar: Way of Water grossed $134 million, below all top 10 hits Except for "Avatar" ($77 million) and "Titanic" ($28.6 million), but as of Sunday, January 1, 2023, its 17th day of release, it has more daily box office receipts than any movie in the same period. The top 10 films, with $24.5 million and $3 million, surpassed the second-highest-grossing film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with $21.5 million. On its 18th day (January 2), "Avatar 2" took in $21.4 million at the box office, the next highest at $8.1 million. On its 19th day (January 3), "Avatar 2" took in $10.5 million at the box office, beating the $8 million of its close follower, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The chart above clearly demonstrates Avatar: Way of Water's unique box office performance.

Is Avatar 2 On Track to Become the Highest-Grossing Movie of All Time

Of course, this pattern may not persist. Variety project "Avatar: Way of Water" will take in $30-$35 million in its fourth week, which will lag the fourth-week grosses of five or six other top 10 films; however, forecasts have been underestimated "Avatar 2" at the box office after its opening weekend, while Cameron's other top 10 films "Avatar" and "Titanic" beat all other movies week by week from their fourth and fifth weekends, respectively , propelling them to the top of the box office charts. If Avatar: Way of Water continues to follow in their footsteps, this is It's time to start moving away from other wolves.

While "Avatar: Way of Water" is still a long way from the $357.1 billion opening-weekend blockbusters like "Avengers: Endgame," the original "Avatar" and "Titanic" Both showed long-legged box office hits, more than enough to make up for seemingly impossibly large opening weekend deficits. Avatar: The Way of Water has been an undeniable financial success, but only time will tell if it can put James Cameron back on top of the all-time box office.
