'Avatar: The Way of Water' Enters Top 10 Highest Grossing Films
Avatar: The Way of Water has broken box office records by remaining the highest-grossing film for seven weeks in a row, a record that hasn’t been broken since the first Avatar movie came out in 2009.
The sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 hit film grossed $620.6 million domestically, making it the 11th highest-grossing film of all time in the United States. He will soon surpass the 2012 The Avengers and be on the verge of entering the top 10.
In addition to its domestic success, The Way of Water is also the fourth highest-grossing film in the world, behind James Cameron’s Avatar, Avengers: Endgame and Titanic. This year’s box office is up 53% from last year, largely due to the success of the Avatar franchise.
The third Avatar movie is not expected to arrive until December 2024, so fans of the franchise will have to wait a little longer for the following entry.
But The Way of Water’s success proved that public love for the world of Pandora and Na’vi will continue to be the engine of box office success.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has proven to be a consistent performer at the box office, holding on to number two in its sixth week of release, with the animated film grossing an additional $10.6 million, putting domestic totals above $140.8 million.
A Man Called Otto ($6.8 million) and M3GAN ($6.4 million) took third and fourth place, respectively, while India’s action thriller Pathaan debuted in fifth with almost $6 million.
The recent Oscar nominations have also had a positive effect on several films at the box office. Everything Everywhere All at Once, which earned the most nominations this year with 11, had a successful re-release in theaters.
Brendan Fraser’s The Whale held steady in its eighth weekend, while Women Talking saw a 167% increase in ticket sales. Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans experienced a 74% uptick and The Banshees of Inisherin had a remarkable 382% boost in ticket sales.
Internationally, the top five films were dominated by Chinese productions. Full River Red ($144 million) and The Wandering Earth 2 ($106 million) took first and second place, respectively.
The Way of Water ($58 million) held onto third, and Pathaan ($54 million) took fourth. Boonie Bears: Guardian Code ($44 million) debuted in fifth place.
