Now director James Cameron has revealed that he is confident that the collection will turn into a profit for the highly expensive sequel to the 2009 original, and this would make the way for Avatar 3 and the two consecutive sequels in the pipeline.

The first Avatar made almost $3 billion at the global box office. It still remains the highest grossing film of all time. The sequel, which released last month, went on to collect more than $1.5 billion worldwide, surpassing the collection of Tom Cruise's Top: Gun Maverick to become the highest-grossing movie of 2022.

James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water has released 13 years after the 2009 original film. The sequel follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) as they try and protect their kids from the return of the Skypeople and Colonel Quaritch (Steven Lang) who is hell-bent on revenge.

The film also introduces a new water tribe of the Na'vi called the Metkayina. Hindustan Times' review for the film said, “Avatar: The Way Of Water is a stunning spectacle that is mounted by a passionate filmmaker who knows exactly how to mould action and emotion together for an enjoyable time at the movies.”
