Avatar: The Way of Water has reached a new milestone as it continues its box-office domination.
As of Thursday, the film has earned a cumulative $2.054 billion worldwide since premiering in theaters Dec. 16. That means the blockbuster has edged out Avengers: Infinity War (which raked in $2.052 billion) to become the fifth-highest-grossing movie of all time.
It also means that its director, James Cameron, has now made three of the five top-grossing films ever.
Cameron's first Avatar movie, released in 2009, still holds the No. 1 spot with $2.923 billion. Titanic (1997), the other Cameron movie in the top 5, holds the third spot with $2.195 billion, behind Avengers: Endgame's $2.799 billion.
Fourth place goes to Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens (2015) with $2.071 billion, but Avatar: The Way of Water is closing in on that record. It's practically guaranteed at this point, with Wednesday screenings alone adding $9 million to its still-growing grand total.
In terms of the North American box office, Cameron's sequel, starring Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña, ranks as the 13th-highest-grossing movie. In terms of international screenings, it's the fourth-highest grosser.

ive never seen either avatar movie
i recall reading that before they premiered both Titanic and Avatar 1 were widely expected to become huge box office bombs yet they ended becoming by far the highest grossing movies ever
also just some months ago people were saying that A2 was going to flop because the first one didn't any have cultural impact... never bet against James Cameron i guess?
