'Avatar The Way of Water' surpasses 'Spider-Man No Way Home', becomes pandemic's biggest blockbuster

<p>It has been more than a month since the release of James Cameron's science-fiction epic 'Avatar: The Way of Water', but the film is going as strong as a new release. Such is the lure of Pandora, the fictional extrasolar, inhabitable moon that serves as the primary setting of the franchise, and Cameron's filmmaking. Until now, the film has grossed $1.903 billion. It is on the verge of surpassing 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', which had grossed $1.906 billion. After beating the Sony-Marvel movie, 'The Way of Water' will also become the highest-grossing movie in the post-pandemic world. A recent Screenrant report predicted that the film may end up with more than $2.5 billion in box office receipts by the time it exits cinemas.&nbsp;</p>

'Avatar 2' surpasses 'Top Gun Maverick', becomes 2022's biggest film

<p><strong>'Avatar: The Way of Water'</strong>, the first sequel in <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-james-cameron-reveals-game-plan-for-avatar-sequels-549000">James Cameron's 'Avatar' franchise</a></strong>, has surpassed the $1.4 billion mark. It has been less than 20 days and looking at the complete absence of important big-screen releases in the next few weeks, it looks like it is going to have smooth sailing for quite a while. Even 2009's 'Avatar' did not have a huge opening at the box office. But strong word-of-mouth and the December release allowed the movie to have long legs, and it ended up as the biggest movie of all time. But will that be the case with 'The Way of Water' as well?

<h2>Will 'Avatar: The Way of Water' beat 'Avengers: Endgame'?</h2>

<p>Thus far, 'Avatar The Way of Water' is raking in the moolah much faster than its prequel. That may, of course, change later, but right now, that is the case. The first 'Avatar' opened with a $77 million weekend, as opposed to the $134 million of the sequel. Moving forward, 'Avatar' had grossed $212.7 million in the first 10 days. The sequel, on the other hand, grossed $261 million. 'Avatar' took 17 days to get past the $1 billion mark. The sequel was five days faster at 12 days. And while 'Avatar' was beaten by 'Avengers: Endgame' if we talk about the original theatrical run, the former movie overtook the latter in a rerelease. Judging by the trends so far, it appears 'Avatar: The Way of Water' has a really good chance of going all the way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, it may not beat the current box office gross of its prequel (more than $2.9 billion, including rerelease receipts), considering the uninterrupted reign it has in our theatres until the end of January, at the least, it does look, yes, like it will beat 'Avengers: Endgame'.<br />

On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the film scored 77 per cent. Wion's review of the film read, "Basically, I have the same complaints with ‘The Way of Water’ that I had with the original ‘Avatar’. No one in their right mind would take exception to his vision, but beneath all that eye candy, the film has a painfully conventional story involving conventional characters told in a traditional Cameron way. The director has never been an impressive deviser of complex, gripping plots and characters beyond the surface level. He does have the uncanny ability to build exciting narratives around action set pieces, and 'The Way of Water' is no exception. 'The Way of Water' is, in effect, a typical Cameron movie with all its glories and downfalls.' Will 'Avatar: The Way of Water' beat 'Avengers: Endgame'? Thus far, 'Avatar The Way of Water' is raking in the moolah much faster than its prequel. That may, of course, change later, but right now, that is the case. The first 'Avatar' opened with a $77 million weekend, as opposed to the $134 million of the sequel. Moving forward, 'Avatar' had grossed $212.7 million in the first 10 days. The sequel, on the other hand, grossed $261 million. 'Avatar' took 17 days to get past the $1 billion mark. The sequel was five days faster at 12 days. And while 'Avatar' was beaten by 'Avengers: Endgame' if we talk about the original theatrical run, the former movie overtook the latter in a rerelease. Judging by the trends so far, it appears 'Avatar: The Way of Water' has a really good chance of going all the way. Now, it may not beat the current box office gross of its prequel (more than $2.9 billion, including rerelease receipts), considering the uninterrupted reign it has in our theatres until the end of January, at the least, it does look, yes, like it will beat 'Avengers: Endgame'.

Will 'Avatar 2' beat 'Avengers Endgame' at the box office? It's complicated
