The numbers might look eye-popping but, in reality, Avatar: Fire and Ash didn't do what James Cameron promised. cbr.com/avatar-fire-as…
So mad man. If Avatar Fire and Ash came out in 2024 it would have easily cleared $1.5B. Probably sailing to an easy $1.8B. But COVID & the Strikes pushed it into this shit economy & world. Guess its performance *in spite* of those limiting factors is impressive. But still.
Besides maybe Avatar: Fire and Ash, there hasn't been a better movie since.
