Up to now, the movie "Avatar 2" has not cooled down globally after 2 weeks of release. Even during the recent New Year holiday, the movie brought in a huge number of viewers due to the large number of viewers going to the theater.

Specifically, according to international media, as of January 2, the film reached the milestone of 1.4 billion USD globally. This means that the film has surpassed Black Panther (2018) - 1.347 billion USD, the final part of Harry Potter (2011) - 1.342 billion USD to enter the top 15 highest-grossing films of all time.

According to international media, the film is still selling well in countries and territories, including Vietnam.

In North America alone, the film is estimated to have earned an additional $82.4 million over the four-day New Year holiday. After two weeks of release, the film earned $421.6 million in North America and $956.9 million internationally. In China, the film earned $152.8 million, although many places in the country are still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, France ($95 million), South Korea ($74.9 million), Germany ($67.2 million)...

In Vietnam, as of January 2, the film raised its total revenue to 228 billion VND. The film also surpassed Doctor Strange 2 to become the highest-grossing film of the year in the Vietnamese market. It is likely that "Avatar 2" will surpass Avengers: Endgame (2019) - revenue of 285 billion VND - to become the highest-grossing international film when shown in Vietnam.

In terms of global revenue, film experts predict that the film has a good chance of reaching the $2 billion mark globally. Because the brainchild of director James Cameron only took 14 days to achieve huge revenue.

Avatar 2 is considered James Cameron's billion-dollar gamble. He once said that if the movie had no words, he would not make sequels.

In Avatar 2, the film tells the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) building a new family on Pandora. They are happy with four children, including adopted child Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) - daughter of the late Dr. Grace Augustine. However, the peaceful life does not last long when humans return to take revenge.

With "Avatar: The Way of Water", we saw the creativity of James Cameron and his team. The audience learned that there is much more to explore on the planet Pandora that has not been introduced.

New races and unlimited resources on Pandora that we only know about when watching the movie. Therefore, expanding the brand to 5 parts but still attracting audiences was really in James Cameron's calculation. It is highly likely that fans will admire another equally attractive corner of Pandora in the near future.
