Avatar: The Way of Water ranks fourth at the box office in cinematic history and now rivals Titanic

Avatar: The Way of Water has become the fourth highest-grossing film project in cinema history, according to figures posted on specialist website Box Office Mojo.

Here's What We Know

The James Francis Cameron film grossed over $2 billion at the box office in a month and a half, surpassing Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.

The second installment of Avatar is now second only to the top three highest-grossing films:

• Avatar ($2.92 billion);
• Avengers: Endgame ($2.799 billion);
• Titanic ($2.194 billion).

Note that two of the Top 3 films are by James Cameron! Consequently, at this stage the director is competing with his personal records.

By the way, in honour of the 25th anniversary of the premiere of "Titanic", a rerun of Cameron's famous hit will start on 25 February at the world box office.
