Avatar 2 Becomes 3rd Highest-Grossing Film of All-Time

Los Angeles, February 12 - It's James Cameron up against himself at the box office, but for now, his latest blockbuster "Avatar: The Way of Water" has edged past "Titanic" to become the 3rd highest-grossing film of all time.

The sci-fi epic sequel is continuing its love affair with the box office as it topped $2.20 billion globally through the 9th Friday. With this, "Avatar 2" has surpassed "Titanic's" $2.19 billion, however, the latter may reclaim that spot as it is having a re-release worldwide to commemorate its 25th anniversary.

For now, "Avatar 2" is the 3rd biggest movie ever, behind only "Avatar" ($2.91 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.80 billion). "The Way of Water" is still a formidable player at the box office, while a remastered 3D version of Titanic is being released in time for Valentine's Day.

The Disney tentpole has grossed approx. $642 million at the domestic box office and approx. $1.56 billion overseas. It may take a few more weeks to completely own the 3rd spot as "Titanic" in all likelihood to stay there for a couple of weeks.
