Avatar: The Way of Water took the box-office crown for the seventh-straight weekend, banking an estimated $15.7 million in North American grosses to push its overall domestic earnings to $620.6 million. That makes it the 11th highest-grossing film of all time stateside.
If you turn the page and factor in overseas earnings, The Way of Water has earned about $2.1 billion, making it the globe’s fourth highest-grossing film—trailing the original Avatar ($2.9 billion) Avengers: Endgame ($2.8 billion) and Titanic ($2.2 billion), which might add a few more bucks to its coffers with a theatrical rerelease Feb. 10.
All that means that James Cameron—who directed both the Avatar movies and Titanic—likely has enough money to build his own planet by now.
