The Way of Water arrived in theatres on December 16, thirteen years after the original movie—and it was worth waiting for. Despite initial concerns that the audiences won’t show up due to the film’s long delay, this sequel is now on the path to replicating the box office success of the original, which remains the highest-grossing film of all time.

Just 14 days after its release, The Way of Water crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, including $317.1 million domestically. These numbers don’t come as a shocker considering its $441.7 million opening, the third largest in the pandemic era behind Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Avatar: The Way of Water is also the second-highest-grossing film of 2022, and only the third to cross the $1 billion mark following Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World Dominion. Cameron previously said that The Way of Water would have to be one of the highest-grossing films in film history just to break even and described it as “the worst business case in movie history.”

After over a decade in the making, Avatar: The Way of Water finally hit the theatres on December 16, earning a worldwide total of $434.5 million over the course of the first weekend, including $134 million domestically.

The Weeknd celebrated its release by dropping a music video for “Nothing is Lost” one day earlier, after it’s been prominently featured in the film’s most recent trailer. According to the press release, this song is meant to “speak to the epic scope, breathtaking action, and thrilling drama of the film itself”.

“Nothing is Lost” is featured in the film’s end credits, and The Weeknd worked closely with composer Simon Franglen to bring it to life. He also brought the Swedish House Mafia on board, and they helped him transform this song about a Na’vi family into a synth-pop ballad.

“Nothing is Lost” is one of the 82 songs eligible for this year’s Academy Award for best original song, and we know if it’s still in competition when Oscar shortlists are announced on December 21.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige broke the news during Comic-Con in San Diego. He told the fans that the latest Avengers movie managed to earn $2.79 billion after almost three months in theaters around the world.

Alan Horn, co-chairman and chief creative officer of Walt Disney Studios, congratulated Marvel bosses for this monumental achievement but also took a moment to stress the impact of James Cameron’s 2009 film, that held the record for the highest-grossing film for an entire decade.

“Of course, even with the passage of a decade, the impact of James Cameron’s Avatar remains as powerful as ever, and the astonishing achievements of both of these films are ongoing proof of the power of movies to move people and bring them together in a shared experience,” said Horn in a statement.

This isn’t the first record that Endgame broke, and something tells us it’s not going to be the last. It had the biggest worldwide opening of all time with a $1.2 billion, after earning $1 billion in just five days!

Its $2 billion record is even more impressive since the movie reached the threshold in only 11 days. To put things in perspective, the previous record holder, Avatar hit this number after 47 days in the theaters.

James Cameron’s sci-fi epic is currently the only film in history to ever earn more than Avengers: Endgame, with a total gross of $2.778 billion. At this point in time, it’s safe to predict that Marvel will manage to break this record – and possibly reach the $3 billion mark for the first time in history thanks to Endgame.

The casting announcement was made via the franchise’s official social media channels. The news also revealed that Yeoh is set to play scientist Dr. Karina Mogue. it is unknown in which of the sequels she’ll appear in or in how many.

“Throughout her career, Michelle has always created unique and memorable characters. I look forward to working with Michelle to do the same thing on the Avatar sequels,” Cameron said in a statement. 

The Crazy Rich Asians and Star Trek: Discovery star joins returning Avatar stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Joel David Moore, Dileep Rao, Stephen Lang, Matt Gerald, and Sigourney Weaver. She also joins newcomers to the Avatar family, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and Oona Chaplin.

The original 2009 film still holds the title of highest grossing film of all time, with $2.7 billion in the global box office. The first sequel is slated for December 2020. Filming officially started on the first two sequels in September 2017.

It has been confirmed that 41-year-old Winslet will star in the sequels, the first of which, Avatar 2, opens in December 2020. This first sequel will end the director’s long hiatus and will bring together the Oscar-winning duo after a lengthy 23 years since Titanic. The third movie of the franchise will open on December 2022, followed by a three-year break for Avatar 4. The forth and last sequel will then debut on December 2025.

Cameron began filming the first of the four Fox movies last week in California. The original Avatar fantasy epic released in 2009, remains the all-time worldwide box office champion with $2.8 billion.

“Kate and I have been looking for something to do together for 20 years, since our collaboration on Titanic, which was one of the most rewarding of my career,” Cameron, 63, said. “I can’t wait to see her bring the character of Ronal to life.”
