The director’s latest film, Avatar: The Way of Water, has just surpassed a box office benchmark solidifying him as one of the most successful directors of our era!

As of this week, The Way of Water has generated a total of $1.928 billion globally according to Variety. It has pushed past Spider-Man: No Way Home to become the sixth-highest grossing film released in all of history! Avatar, the original film that came out in 2009, takes spot number one with a total of $2.9 billion. Another film by James Cameron, the 1990s classic Titanic, comes in at number three, having grossed $2.2 billion during its initial release.

For Cameron to have three films in the top five, the Avatar sequel will need to gross a total of at least $2.05 billion to surpass Avengers: Infinity War. Even if it fails to bump the Marvel film, if Avatar: The Way of Water manages to surpass the $2 billion mark (which appears likely!) it will be the first pandemic-era movie to join the $2 billion club.
