Avatar: The Way Of Water has made $1bn at the global box office in just 14 days, becoming the fastest film to pass the milestone this year.

It is one of only three films to surpass $1bn this year, after Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World Dominion.

The film picks up after the events of 2009's Avatar, which is the highest-grossing film of all time, with box office receipts of $2.97 billion.

Analysts say the new instalment is unlikely to beat that figure, as cinema attendances are still down, post-pandemic.

But based on current performance, the film is likely to overtake Top Gun: Maverick as the biggest film of 2022.
