\tJames Cameron’s Avatar<\/em>: The Way of Water<\/em> has now officially, and as projected, crossed the $1 billion mark at the international box office with Tuesday’s grosses included. What’s more for this 20th Century Studios\/Disney juggernaut, at $1,482.5M<\/strong> worldwide through Tuesday, the epic sci-fi sequel is next on its way to yet another milestone and will top $1.5B global when today’s numbers are factored. In doing so, it will become the No. 1 worldwide release of 2022, surpassing Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>‘s $1,489B.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe overseas cume through Tuesday is $1,025B<\/strong>after adding $28.3M<\/strong> in 52 international markets yesterday (a 44% drop from last Tuesday). WoW<\/em> is the No. 1 offshore release of 2022 and No. 2 of the pandemic era. It stands as the No. 9 international release of all time, moving up from No. 11 having just passed The Fate of the Furious<\/em> and Jurassic World<\/em> after 21 days in movie theaters.<\/p>\n

\n

\tGlobally, it is the No. 12 biggest release ever, now overtaking Disney’s own Frozen II<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

\tFollowing the holiday period, and while some offshore markets still have local holidays, midweeks continue to be strong and there is plenty of runway ahead.<\/p>\n

\n

\tNot included in the totals above, China’s Wednesday brought in an estimated $3M for a local running cume of $170M. Maoyan is projecting a $215M final. Similarly not included above, Korea reached $78.8M through today.<\/p>\n
