Cinema lovers talked about the movie Avatar: The Way of Water the most in December, which we are about to leave behind. Thus, the sequel of Avatar, which we met for the first time in 2009 and which made a great impression in those years, has officially returned.
Research on the movie, which was released on December 15, earned $855 million globally in the first 10 days of this movie. This figure is expected to exceed $1 billion before the end of the year. Thus, the third movie after Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion, which grossed over $1 billion in 2022, will be Avatar: The Way of Water.
$1 billion, could have already been exceeded
Although the astonishing revenue was announced for Avatar: The Way of Water, the movie industry was actually expecting much higher amounts. However, the COVID-19 epidemic, which broke out again in China, caused movie screenings to be cut in half. This directly affected the revenue. However, countries where Christianity is prevalent are busy with Christmas these days. People who take vacation as an opportunity spend their time on vacation rather than cinema.
Avatar, which was released in 2009, earned $2.9 billion during its time in the vision and went down in history as the highest-paid film in history. However, there is a detail that should not be forgotten here. Avatar has been repeatedly released in some countries over the years. This made it easier to reach a revenue of 2.9 billion dollars. It is a question of whether Avatar: The Way of Water will break this record.
