James Cameron has broken his own record as Avatar: The Way of Water officially surpasses Titanic to become the third-highest grossing film in history.
According to reports, The Way of Water has earned $2.2433 billion USD in the worldwide box office, taking over the No. 3 spot held by Titanic’s $2.2428 billion USD. The sequel is now in the running to surpass Avengers: Endgame’s $2.7 billion USD and the $2.92 billion USD of its own Avatar predecessor.
