Made with a whopping $350 million budget, the makers are aiming to earn $1 billion. The milestone that only two films have achieved so far is 'Top Gun: Maverick'&nbsp;and 'Jurassic World: Dominion.' 
 
Outside America, the film is raking in China, where it earned $100.5 million despite the COVID-19 surge in the country. 
 
In Korea, the film has earned $53 million, followed by France with $52.3 million, India with $37 million, and Germany with $35.7 million. 
 
Talking about India specifically, the digital extravaganza has been atop the box office charts ever since its release. The film has approximately raked in Rs 250 crore and is now eyeing the Rs 300 crore milestone.

Wion's Film critic Kshitij Mohan Rawat&nbsp;wrote in his review of the film, "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 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." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-avatar-the-way-of-water-movie-review-visually-gorgeous-james-camerons-film-repeats-originals-mistakes-543654">Read full review here:</a>&nbsp;

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ box office: James Cameron's film earns $850 million worldwide in 10 days

At the D23 Expo, 20th Century Studios gave a major surprise to fans by unveiling several scenes from 'Avatar: The Way of Water', which is James Cameron's second instalment of the epic sci-fi franchise. The film is set to hit the theatres on December 16.

The scenes were in 3D and they&nbsp;were shown to attendees on two huge screens in the main Anaheim Convention Center room where the studio's presentations with Disney siblings Marvel and Lucasfilm were held. In one&nbsp;scene, Nav'i was seen swimming underwater. Another scene shows a youngster saying that he wants to be different from his father.

There were also scenes of some kind of hostage situation, with combat in the woods at night. Another moment showed an emotional conversation between Sam Worthington`s and Zoe Saldana`s characters. A tribal leader tells younger Nav'i that war is bad.

A sequel to 2009's Avatar, the script comes from Cameron and Josh Friedman, with Worthington and Saldana starring alongside Michelle Yeoh, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin and more.

Cameron joined the presentation today virtually from New Zealand, where he is finishing the film and working in the middle of a "pretty hectic" five-year production cycle on the second, third and fourth installments of the series.

"It`s going great and the stuff coming in from Weta is looking spectacular," Cameron told the crowd. "I'm super excited to be finally finishing up movie 2. I know everyone`s been waiting a long time. Hopefully, we'll show something today and you can decide if it`s been worth it."

Worthington and Saldana are parents in the new film. "The whole movie deals with protecting family. We've all gone through Covid and realised that love and being with family is paramount to what life is and it`s worth fighting for. We put that in the movie," Worthington said on stage.

Cameron also said they remastered Avatar for a whole new generation of movie fans "who never got to see it in a movie theatre. That will be the drumroll and remind people of the story."
