James Cameron is a one-of-a-kind filmmaker, and he takes his sweet time to churn out movies, but the end result we get to see is something very special.

Glory of the first installment
Avatar: The Way Of Water is a sequel to 2009’s Avatar. Back then, the biggie introduced the film industry with game-changing filmmaking technology. The VFX work and the CGI used in the post-production were simply next-level stuff. Apart from the scale and grandeur, the film had a unique storyline, and performances by the actors were top-notch.
On top of everything, there was a James Cameron brand. Riding high on critical acclaim and extraordinary word-of-mouth, Avatar became a mega-blockbuster, earning over $2.9billion (including re-runs). With such glory in the past, Avatar 2 had a lot of pressure on itself, but it was no surprise that the film turned out to be a blockbuster.
Avatar 2 was made on a huge scale with a production cost of around $400 million. This cost is justifiable considering the time James Cameron takes to make his magnum opus and supreme VFX work in post-production. Among box office enthusiasts, there was not at all worry about its breakeven as the film was carrying immense hype on the ground level.
Staying true to expectations, Avatar 2 took a humongous start and enjoyed a positive response from critics and audiences. This positivity helped the film in showing long legs in the theatrical run. It ended its run at $2.32billion at the worldwide box office, including $684 million from the domestic market.
