James Cameron has done it again.
His new science fiction fantasy Avatar: Fire and Ashes has passed $1 billion in worldwide earnings.
The film successfully brings audiences back to the alien world of Pandora.
According to Walt Disney Studios, global ticket sales have now been reached
1.03 billion dollars.
“These movies consistently draw audiences to the theater,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore’s director of market trends.
The original Avatar, released in 2009, was a huge success, earning $2.9 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of all time based on total sales.
However, the classic from 1939 Gone with the Wind still holds the top spot when adjusted for inflation.
The successor of Avatar: The Way of Water, released more than a decade later in 2022, grossed over $2.3 billion globally and won an Oscar for its visual effects.
Interestingly, the latest installment fared strongly at the box office despite being released during the holiday season.
It earned $306 million in North America and $777.1 million internationally.
For those who don’t know, Cameron’s journey with billion-dollar films began with Titanic in 1997, which went on to earn nearly $2.3 billion worldwide.
