James Cameron is a man of his word. Just before the release ofAvatar: The Water Way, the director had entrusted his financial worries for this new work of its franchise a HQ.

Guaranteed to see Avatar sequels

With $1.7 billion in revenue in total, the film left behind the box office giants, Top Gun: nonconformist, Fast and furious 7, avengers, The Lion King or Jurassic world.

It remains to be seen if he can do better than the leaders of this small classification. The stakes have remained high ever since titanic of James Cameron himself has amassed 2.2 billion dollars of revenue, slightly less than the 2.7 billion OfAvengers: Finale by the Russo brothers. Finally, its first competitor is… Avatars before the name, which totaled $2.9 billion in revenue between 2009 and 2010.

Beyond the anecdote and more than a great performance, these figures are excellent news for fans ofAvatars since they announce a bright future for the franchise. It’s hard to imagine that the producers will hesitate to support the release of four sequels planned by James Cameron !
