Avatar: The Way of Water, a film many of you hoped would flop, is doing the exact opposite. After 14 days in release, the film has crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, with $1.03 billion. Its the 6th fastest film to pass that mark (unadjusted ofc) and the 3rd film this year to do so. It now sits in second place, passing Jurassic World: Dominion's $1.003 billion. It needs to get to $1.488 billion to take the top spot from Top Gun: Maverick and will most likely do so.
The film continues doing solid business domestically. Tuesday's gross of $23.8 million pushed the film over the $300 million mark. ($317.1 million). The film's performance has been compared with Rogue One, as both were released when Christmas fell on a Sunday and grossed similar day-to-day numbers. That film passed the $400 million mark on New Year's Eve and ended with an inflated $561 million, just to give an idea of where TWOW may go from here.
