Speaking about the worldwide collection, Avatar 2 stands at $1.713 billion and is currently the 7th highest grosser of all time.

Meanwhile, Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington, who have reprised their roles in the James Cameron directorial, spoke about the pressures they faced while shooting the film as they had to undergo intense training for swimming underwater and deep sea diving.

“I think the pressure that I felt was the new training we sort of required for the sequel which is to perform underwater that was something we had never done in the first movie,” Zoe Saldana told IANS.
