After passing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” for fourth on the all-time global box office charts, Disney/20th Century’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” is now on pace to pass fellow James Cameron film “Titanic” for third on that list.
“Avatar 2” is approximately $78 million away from passing the lifetime gross total of “Titanic,” with $620.9 million domestic and $2.11 billion global box office totals. Later this week, it will pass the $623 million domestic total of “The Avengers” to become one of the top 10 highest-grossing films in North America before inflation adjustment. The film earned $15.7 million domestically in its seventh weekend to bring its total to $621 million.
