Disney's "Avatar: The Way of Water" has made history by crossing the $2 billion mark at the global box office, to become the sixth highest-grossing movie of all time, according to Box Office data.

This makes it the third James Cameron film to reach this milestone – doing so after just six weeks of launch.

Avatar: The Way of Water was released in the theatres in December 2022, 13 years after the original, and cost approximately $460 million to produce and promote, making it one of the most expensive films ever.

As of Sunday, January 22, the blockbuster movie had tallied $598 million from domestic ticket sales and $1.426 billion from foreign markets.

The film is now the sixth highest-grossing film of all time and will likely move up in the ranking ladder as its run in theatres continues.
