“Avatar: The Way of Water” has made over $1 billion in ticket sales in just two weeks.<\/p>\n
James Cameron’s blockbuster, the sequel to the highest-grossing movie of all time, joins “Jurassic World: Dominion” as a 10-figure earner this year and may deposit Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick” as the highest-grossing 2022 release by the end of its time in theaters.<\/p>\n
“Avatar’s” performance means that 2022 will end with three films passing the billion-dollar threshold at the box office.<\/p>\n
While that’s a far cry from the nine billion-dollar grossers that 2019 \u2014 the final full box office year before the pandemic \u2014 had, it’s still an increase from 2020 and 2021 which had zero and one movies earn over $1 billion, respectively.<\/p>\n
Though some industry watchers had predicted that the domestic box office would cross $8 or $9 billion, those hopes were dashed in part because some big-budget films have been delayed, including another Tom Cruise title, the hotly-anticipated “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
