To have fun its one-month anniversary in theaters, Avatar: The Manner of Water will cross the $2 billion mark on the field workplace, including yet one more spectacular notch onto its belt of business success.
Not solely will it change into solely the sixth movie in historical past to ever attain 10 figures twice over, however it provides James Cameron much more bragging rights because the undisputed king of crowd-pleasing cinema. Of the sextet of blockbuster to have sailed previous $2 billion, three of them could have been directed by the identical particular person, which is nothing wanting astonishing.
In actual fact, J.J. Abrams is wanting just like the odd one out within the $2 billion membership seeing as Star Wars: The Power Awakens is the one one which wasn’t helmed by both Cameron or the Russo brothers, with the primary two installments within the Avatar collection becoming a member of Avengers: Infinity Warfare and Endgame in such rarefied air.
Having change into the primary filmmaker ever to name the photographs on three options to rack up $2 billion in ticket gross sales, it wouldn’t be hyperbolic to recommend that the one particular person able to beating Cameron is now Cameron himself. Whereas Joe and Anthony Russo would conceivably be a part of the membership with ease had been they to return for Avengers: Secret Wars, Kevin Feige has intimated that it’s not going to occur.
Meaning the subsequent launch on the horizon to hail from any individual with a $2 billion hit below their belt is… yep, you guessed it, James Cameron’s Avatar 3. Can he make it an unprecedented quartet? Primarily based on the proof, he can and almost certainly will.
