When the film first descended in theatres, people were excited that the director of theTerminatorfranchise was helming the unbelievably CGI-dense project. Although the audiences were convinced that the film would be exceptional, they didn’t expectAvatarto become the highest-grossing film of all time. If James Cameron was considered one of the best creators in the industry before the movie, then he became one of the GOATs after it.

And now, after a long wait of more than a decade, the director has brought the sequel to the critically acclaimed visual masterpiece to the big screen. And as if history is repeating itself,Avatar: The Way Of Waterhas become the talk of cine-goers all around the world for its environmental design, character development, and exceptional visual treat that it is. So naturally, the box office collection has once again overflowed with numbers signifying the milestone it has achieved.

To be honest, everyone was convinced that the sequel to 2009’sAvatarwould revolutionize the use of CGI in modern-day cinema, and James Cameron delivered on that expectation with flying colors.Avatar: The Way Of Waterbrought radical changes to not only the use of CGI but also the art of storytelling and world-building. So naturally, the assumption was that the film would also surpass sales expectations, but no one could’ve guessed that the goal would be this easy!

What’s Next For TheAvatarFranchise?

As things now stand, it has become absolutely clear that all these years of the franchise staying relevant through one film alone did nothing in terms of making the whole franchise any less desirable. And so, with the release ofAvatar: The Way Of Water,Cameron also revealed the production of another three films that will be next in line for the audiences to indulge themselves in. It was earlier said that if the movie underperformed, the series will end at the third installment, but with a performance like this, it doesn’t seem like this will be the case.
