Avatar 2 is the highest-grossing film worldwide in the post-COVID era and the third-highest-grossing film overall. Its reissue opening weekend was out of the top five in the domestic rankings.

According to industry analysts, James Cameron‘s sequel will not be able to surpass the $700 million milestone at the domestic box office or surpass Black Panther‘s $700.4 million domestic haul.
