Avatar has now become the first movie ever to pass $2.9 billion at the global box office. First released in 2009, James Cameron’s movie is the highest-grossing movie of all time. The success of the first Avatar led to four sequels, with the first one, Avatar: The Way of Water, set to release later this year. The milestone has been helped with the recent 4K remaster of the movie.
