“Avatar: The Way of Water” Breaks Record as Fastest Film to Reach $1 Billion in 2022
It’s official – “Avatar: The Way of Water” is now part of the exclusive billion-dollar movie club! In just 14 days since its release, the James Cameron-directed sequel has become the fastest to reach $1 billion in global box office revenue this year, beating Spider-Man: No Way Home’s record of 12 days in 2021.
But “Avatar: The Way of Water” isn’t just breaking records – it’s also making history. The film is the sixth ever to reach $1 billion in its first two weeks of release, and the fourth Disney release to do so. It’s currently sitting pretty at #2 on the highest-grossing films of 2022, with a whopping $712.7 million from markets outside the US and $317.1 million from within the US and Canada, for a grand total of $1.025 billion.
But “Avatar: The Way of Water” isn’t the only film making waves at the box office this year. In 2022, only two other films have reached the billion-dollar mark – Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick” with $1.4 billion and Chris Pratt’s “Jurassic World Dominion” with $1.003 billion.
It’s still unclear if “Avatar: The Way of Water” will reach the estimated break-even point, as James Cameron previously stated that the film needs to become the “third or fourth highest-grossing film in history” to achieve it. The budget for the film is reportedly between $350 million and $400 million.
But with “Avatar: The Way of Water” currently holding strong as the number 2 release of 2022 worldwide and number 3 in the pandemic era, it looks like it’s well on its way to box office domination. And with little major Hollywood competition until February (when “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is released), it looks like “Avatar: The Way of Water” will continue to reign supreme.
So don’t miss out on all the action – “Avatar: The Way of Water” is currently playing in theaters globally. Grab your tickets now and join the ranks of the billions of satisfied viewers!
