James Cameron (whose 1997 film Titanic is third in the top 10) is also the director with the most mentions on the list of highest-grossing films.

Despite the favorable performance of Avatar: The Last Airbender, it still has some important steps to climb in order to rise in the ranking of the most popular movies of all time. The next four benchmarks to be overtaken by Cameron’s new creation are: Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.916 billion), Avengers: Infinity War ($2.048 billion), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.069 billion) ) and “Titanic”.
However, there is a significant gap between these films and the top two (2019’s Avengers: Endgame ($2.797 billion) and the original Avatar). To claim the first place on the list, “The Way of Water” needs to collect more than one billion dollars. Given the fact that the film is one of the few pandemic-era releases to be broadcast in China, this could give it a huge advantage.
While Avatar: The Last Airbender will still hold the top spot at the US domestic box office this weekend, horror film M3GAN made a strong debut on Friday. Potentially in other future releases such as House Party, Knock at the Cabin, Magic Mike’s Last Dance and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania Ant – Man and the Wasp: Quantumania stands a chance of accomplishing a similar feat, bit by bit taking away the box office dominance of Cameron’s film.

Review of the movie “Avatar: The Way of Water” / Avatar: The Way of Water
The sequel takes place more than ten years after the events of the first film and follows main characters Jake Sully and Neytiri as they try to save their planet Pandora from an invasion of humans from Earth.
Cameron worked with technology for years and presented the film with an ultra-modern frame rate – in Japan, the projectors could not cope with it, cinemas were not ready for 48 frames per second and had to return money to the audience.
The second film has already been confirmed to be profitable, which suggests that there will be several more sequels (Cameron ideally wants to make five films). In particular, the director has already announced in the next “Avatar” the story of the local residents of Navi, whose lives are connected with the fiery element.
