James Cameron has done it again.
His new science-fiction fantasy Avatar: Fire and Ash has crossed $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 reached
$1.03 billion.
‘These movies consistently draw audiences to the movie theatre,” said Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore head of marketplace trends.
The original Avatar, released in 2009, became a massive success and earned $2.9 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing movie of all time based on total sales.
However, the 1939 classic Gone With Wind still holds the top spot when adjusted for inflation.
The sequel of Avatar: The Way of Water, released more than a decade later in 2022, earned over $2.3 billion globally and won an Academy Award for its visual effects.
Interestingly, the latest installment performed 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 unfamiliar, Cameron’s journey with billion-dollar films began with Titanic in 1997, which went on to make nearly $2.3billion worldwide.
