Avatar: The Way of Water, directed by James Cameron, earned a staggering $2 billion at the global box office and has since gone on to create another successful franchise for Walt Disney Co. On Sunday, the sci-fi movie made $2.024 billion at the box office, of which about $1.4 billion came from areas outside of the United States and Canada.

Ten years after the events of the first film, Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana play Jake Sully and Neytiri in "Avatar 2."

"Any time you are in the billions you are in the pantheon of top franchises."  senior media analyst at Comscore Paul Dergarabedian told a news agency.

Five children currently live with Jake and Neytiri. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, Brendan Cowell, and Jack Champion all play significant roles in the movie.

Three of the top six movies of all time, including Titanic and "Avatar: The Way of Water," 'Avatar'  were directed by James Cameron. With $2.9 billion in worldwide ticket sales, "Avatar" is still the most successful movie ever made.
