James Cameron‘s Avatar 2 has finally received a title, Avatar: The Way of Water. Nearly 13 years have passed since the first Avatar (2009) entry came out in theatres. It broke several box office records and emerged as the highest-grossing movie of all time. Yes, several re-releases have helped it in compiling more money over the years. Still, a humongous global collection of $2.84 billion (approx) is not an easy record to shatter. Apart from Cameron’s amazing direction, the movie received acclaim for its breathtaking visuals, gripping storyline, James Horner’s outstanding musical score, and great performances.
