After coming in under opening weekend projections, AvatarTheWayOfWater is now set to cross the $1 billion mark within 12 days of its release.
Avatar: The Way of Water will hit the $1 billion milestone in just 12 days after its release. The long-awaited sequel to 2009's Avatar, which still stands as the highest-grossing film of all time, Avatar: The Way of Water was released in theaters on December 16. Despite an opening weekend that was below expectations, its second weekend at the box office showed that James Cameron's blockbuster had serious staying power and was primed to go the distance.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Deadline reports that Avatar: The Way of Water will hit $1 billion mark worldwide after its second Tuesday's grosses are accumulated. After its second Monday in theaters, the sequel is sitting at $955 million, meaning Avatar 2 will easily hit $1 billion with Tuesday's turnout. Amazingly, Avatar: The Way of Water will achieve the major milestone in just 12 days after its theatrical release.
Without much competition ahead, Avatar: The Way of Water is expected to continue dominating the box office for the foreseeable future, which it must do to justify its massive production budget, estimated to be anywhere from $350–460 million. In turn, Cameron estimates that Avatar: The Way of Water needs to gross about $2 billion just to break even, though experts project that number is closer to $1.5 billion.
After hitting the $1 billion mark in 12 days, Avatar: The Way of Water has a chance, albeit an improbable one, to surpass the first film's $2.97 billion total, which was achieved after multiple theatrical re-releases. There are several factors holding the sequel back – it won’t be released in Russia, where the original made over $100 million, and the worldwide box office still hasn’t fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.
