The official trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water has been released online – and we don't think there'll be a more beautiful film to arrive in theaters for a long time.
All signs point towards yes – though The Way of Water will have to dominate the global box office for months in order to do so.
The 2009 original was a box office juggernaut upon release, going on to amass $1 billion in its first 19 days post-launch and eventually earning an eyewatering $2.75 billion by the end of its theatrical run. It wasn't until Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, which arrived in April 2019, that Avatar was toppled as the highest-grossing film ever made, with the Marvel movie earning $2.79 billion globally.
Endgame's time at the top wasn't set to last, though. Avatar was re-released in theaters earlier in 2022, with the aim of a) refreshing fans' memories about the 2009 film's plot before The Way of Water arrives, and b) attempting to usurp Endgame in the box office stakes. Unsurprisingly, Avatar did just that – its total now standing at $2.92 billion.
In short, Avatar: The Way of Water needs to become the first-ever $3 billion movie if it's to succeed the epic sci-fi film franchise's first entry as the biggest money-spinning movie of all-time. With Cameron making fans wait over a decade before they could return to Pandora, it'll be fascinating to see if the Avatar movie series still holds sway over the public. Oh, and there's also the small matter of Marvel Studios' latest movie – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – to deal with from a competition standpoint in the final months of the year. No pressure, everyone.
Still, Avatar's recent re-release shows there's still an audience for Cameron's works, especially ones as visually striking as Avatar are. Sure, the prospect of Avatar 2 eclipsing its predecessor's box office takings are slim, but don't count it out just yet. Nobody expected Avatar to become the most successful film (from a monetary perspective) ever, and nobody thought Avengers: Endgame will topple it before being overhauled itself.
If there's one film that can surpass both, it's The Way of Water. Let the box office games begin.
