Avatar: The Way of Water has huge shoes to fill in considering that its predecessor landed it big on the box office as the then-highest grossing film of all time before the arrival of Marvel’s Endgame, and so far, the sequel is showing promise when it comes to the numbers. Considering that the circumstances are not really favorable with a massive winter storm, a pandemic still going on, and flu and RSV cases rising, these didn’t stop Avatar: The Way of Water to dominate the box office as it passes $253 million domestically and $855 million worldwide. The international numbers for Avatar: The Way of Water are bringing in a lot as it helps the sequel afloat while those in the US couldn’t be stopped even with a blizzard-like storm ravaging most of the parts of the country.
