Avatar: The Way Of Water led the domestic weekend box office charts for the fourth consecutive time with an estimated $45 million in earnings between Friday and Sunday, according to Box Office Mojo, as the movie’s worldwide revenue surpasses $1.7 billion and inches towards director James Cameron’s $2 billion target—making it one of the most lucrative films of all time.
Disney’s Avatar: The Way Of Water—Cameron’s sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time—has earned a total of $516.8 million domestically along with $1.19 billion in international earnings, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of all time.
In an interview on Friday, Cameron said he expected the film to reach $2 billion in global box office earnings “in the next few days” and cross its “breakeven” point. The Avatar sequel is one of the most expensive films ever made, with a budget estimated at $350 million or more, and Cameron had said it would need to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time to break even. The Way Of Water’s steep budget also includes the cost of filming a third Avatar movie and developing the scripts for a fourth and fifth film, which could make the latter films in the series more profitable.
