The James Cameron directed sequel to Avatar has taken over $1.5 Billion at the global box office, with China, Japan, Europe and Australia showing good figures for the movie.
The current tally of global grosses is
In the UK the top grossing movie of 2022 is Top Gun: Maverick which took an amazing £83.5 Million during its summer run, the Avatar sequel still has a bit to go to catch up.
In North America and Canada the Top Gun sequel took $717 Million on its 24 week run, and with Avatar: The Way of Water still pulling in good numbers, and an increase in screen this weekend couples with little competition until Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in mid February its looking likely the movie will go ahead.
It was an interesting year at the box office in 2022, there were some big disappointments, but its looks like there were 3 Billion dollar movies as well as a couple which got close.
One of those movie will most likely go over the $2 Billion mark, the first time that has happened since Avengers: Endgame in 2019 (pre-pandemic), although Spider Man: No Way Home came very close in 2021.
