What do Marvel and Star Wars have in common apart from being owned by Disney? Both franchises have now been officially toppled over by James Cameron’s brainchild,Avatar 2. But of course, that is only natural for a vision that has been 13 years in the making. A vision, however, is the least of all the adulations that are to be accorded to what the master storyteller has been telling on the big screens across the globe, uniting fans, dreamers, artists, and those seeking escape from the land of harsh realities in a singular, common goal – to give the audience a world that is not merely a reflection of our own but has the potential to be flawed and simultaneously perfect.

Avatar 2Climbs Higher in Top 5 Highest-Earner Categories
The top highest-grossing films in the worldwide collection are spread evenly between Disney’s Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios projects. But now that James Cameron’s ambition has broken loose from the carefully knotted noose that had been keeping it at bay, the “Top Five” category has been overrun by the director’s latest projects –Avatar,Titanic, andAvatar: The Way of Water.The 2022 film had been quietly pacing uphill with defiant ease, slowly toppling each obstacle in its path with grace and deftness. The latest among its conquests wasStar Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens(2015), which had until now resided in the 4th spot comfortably.

The latest stir occurs asAvatar 2reaches its sixth-consecutive weekend, earning $2.074.8 billion whileThe Force Awakenssimmers behind with $2.071 billion in worldwide earnings. Since the film’s release on 16th December,The Way of Waterhas been evenly taking hold of its box office collection with each passing week. With unusually high numbers to boast of, the Cameron project has pushed downSpider-Man: No Way HomeandAvengers: Infinity Wardown from their earlier posts among the Top Five.
On its way to conquering the box office and making history,The Way of Waternow finds itself up against Cameron’s very ownTitanic[$2.19B],Avengers: Endgame[$2.79B], andAvatar[$2.92B].

It was – as James Cameron’s sworn CGI enemy Thanos would say – inevitable.Avatar 2has been brewing on the sidelines for a little too long and it would certainly be a sad turnout if Cameron’s ambition failed in its overarching final lap. As the Canadian director aims ever higher and inches closer to achieving hismagnum opuswith his Na’vi-led franchise, the second sequel in the story of Pandora’s narrative creates a legacy with each precise frame and trailblazing cinematography. Fans, of course, couldn’t be prouder and happier to be partisans in history being created, to stand as witnesses and watch it happen.
