James Cameron isn’t content with having just two movies in the top five highest-grossing films of all time. Titanic (Worldwide: $2.26 Billion, Domestic: $674.29 Million) Read our review of Avatar: The Way of Water. Avatar: The Way of Water had an estimated budget of $350 million to $460 million and even James Cameron said the film would need to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film of all time to turn a profit. Sure, it didn’t quite soar to the heights of the original Avatar, but $2.31 billion in global box office revenue isn’t the worst consolation prize. It started to feel like these so-called Avatar sequels may never happen with delay after delay, but Avatar: The Way of Water landed with such a resounding slam that it reminded us all to never underestimate James Cameron and the power of Pandora. The sequel to 2009’s Avatar was originally aiming to be released in 2014 but, as we all know, it didn’t make its way to theaters until the end of 2022. Avatar: The Way of Water (Worldwide: $2.31 Billion, Domestic: $683.66 Million) While it doesn’t seem as much when you compare it to its box office earnings, Avengers: Endgame was one of the most expensive films ever made with a reported budget of around $356 million to $400 million. Fans had to wait a whole year to see what the true effects of Thanos’ Snap would be, and the excitement was unlike anything seen before. The only film to ever come close to toppling the behemoth known as Avatar was Avengers: Endgame, the culmination of the almost 21-year journey known as the Infinity Saga that began with 2008’s Iron Man and was built up with stories from 21 movies before it. Avengers: Endgame (Worldwide: $2.79 Billion, Domestic: $858.37 Million)

Even after almost 14 years, Avatar’s reign atop the highest-grossing films of all time list has rarely been contested. Moviegoers couldn’t get enough of the film and the ticket sales rushed in from the start and didn’t stop until it nearly reached $3 billion off a roughly $237 billion budget. When Avatar arrived in theaters back in 2009, it made a powerful statement with its groundbreaking visual effects and motion capture, stunning 3D technology, and the introduction of a world in Pandora that would spawn its own section of Disney World and a plan for at least four sequels.
