James Cameron's Box Office Competitor Revealed
Both Titanic and Avatar: The Way of the Water brought the director huge profits. But in Hollywood there is another filmmaker who has already snatched the palm.
Tom Cruise surpassed James Cameron at the US box office with Top Gun: Maverick. Released in the summer, the film about pilot Pete Mitchell earned $719 million in the home box office against $672 million received as a result of the rental of Cameron's Avatar: The Way of the Water.
According to experts, the difference of $ 50 million is very significant and shows the dynamics in the sale of films. Maverick's box office will only increase when it releases on digital platforms.
Cruz is expected to continue dominating the box office with the super-successful Mission: Impossible franchise to his credit. In the summer of 2023, the seventh part of the film series will be released, and the eighth in the summer of 2024. Whereas “Avatar 3” by Cameron, viewers will see only in December 2024, “Avatar 4” in December 2026, and the final part of “Avatar 5” in December 2028.
