"Earlier this week, James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water became the No. 5 highest-grossing movie ever worldwide, and, as expected, has now surfed to the No. 4 position on the all-time chart. In so doing, it leaves Star Wars: The Force Awakens in its wake with nearly $2.075B globally.

Through Friday, the worldwide gross on the 20th Century Studios/Disney/Lightstorm epic Avatar sequel is $2,074.8M, overtaking Force Awakens’ $2.071B. This means that Cameron has three of the top four movies ever globally alongside the original Avatar at No. 1 and Titanic at No. 3. Avatar: The Way of Water will top Titanic in the coming week or so on a global basis. However, Paramount is doing a Titanic domestic rerelease in time for Valentine’s Day, and Disney is also handling offshore before Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania gets going, so there could be some jockeying ahead as we noted on Thursday.

For Disney, the recent Avatar milestones mean the studio has released three of the top five global titles ever (including Avengers: Endgame at No. 2, while Fox back in the day, before it was under the Disney umbrella, released the first Avatar).

At the international box office, Best Picture Oscar nominee Way of Water is still No. 4 of all time with $1,466.3M through Friday. Domestically, it is No. 13 at $608.5M.

Through Friday, the sci-fi adventure’s top overseas markets are: China ($235.4M), France ($133.2M), Germany ($120.2M), Korea ($101.5M), the UK ($83.5M), India ($58.3M), Australia ($57.5M), Mexico ($52.3M), Spain ($48.1M) and Italy ($45.8M)."

What happened with Damon?

AdonisHera24 said Don’t get the appeal and never will

Id have to be paid to watch a movie like this

Very surprised the hype carried over almost all these years later

That doesn’t make it good

People just sheep

Still haven't seen the first one.

And I won't.

Ever.

Not even if there's a fire.

I dont get the hype for underwater smurfs

can someone explain why this sh*t is popular

ibarackedyomama said What happened with Damon?

he was supposed to be the star, but he turned it down because he wanted to finish the bourne series

they offered him 10% of ticket sales, so he def fumbled a major bag,

if he did though, we wouldnt have the bourne trilogy so im ok with his decision

NYSTATEOFMIND said I dont get the hype for underwater smurfs can someone explain why this sh*t is popular

its the visuals, the story is ok, but the visuals, esp in the first one, were revolutionary.

Story n Acting are all trash.
You have be in the movie theater
Best 3D movie ever

still haven't seen it. will eventually when i'm bored sometime just like how i eventually saw the first one. but cameron is unstoppable. dude cracked the code of human emotion and hitting the right notes and that's why his films succeed. it's why nobody can explain the success of these avatar movies. on the surface it looks mid as hell but the dude dominates people's subconscious. he's pulling from classic human stories in these films which you can call copying (first film being pocahontas etc.) but can't knock the hustle. buddy knows what he's doing.

He was offered 10% of everything on the first movie only. Just saw the interview

is there a conflict?
like an underwater gargamel trying to capture them
anyone dies?

I can understand people seeing a "beautiful movie" but doesnt seem like enough to make a billy but im not a movie producer so i dont know sh*t

James Cameron did it again

NYSTATEOFMIND said is there a conflict? like an underwater gargamel trying to capture them anyone dies? I can understand people seeing a "beautiful movie" but doesnt seem like enough to make a billy but im not a movie producer so i dont know sh*t

lol, the conflict is the humans vs. the "smurfs". they are trying to take the planet over since earth is fu*ked up

its the type of story that covers a wide variety of bases demographic-wise, so a lot of people watch it

also, you gotta consider the family-film aspect of it, mfs be taking their kids and sh*t to see it, that = dollars by itself

edit: the other part is that since its optimized from 3d imax and all that, so thats how most people watch it. those tickets cost a grip

this. the story is fairly generic, but its based on the classic blueprint

Called it in one of the last Avatar threads. This sh*t is easy top 4ever.
