The movie "Avatar: The Way of Water" has made over a billion dollars in two weeks.

The sequel to the highest-grossing movie of all time is expected to become a 10-figure earner this year, making it the second highest-grossing movie of all time after Tom Cruise's "Top Gun: Maverick", which is expected to become the highest-grossing movie of all time

Three films will pass the billion-dollar threshold at the box office in 2022, thanks to the performance of "Avatar"

The last full box office year before the Pandemic had nine billion-dollar grossers, but it was still an increase from the previous two years.

Some industry watchers had predicted that the domestic box office would cross $8 or $9 billion, but that was dashed in part because some big budget films have been delayed.

The highest grossing film of the year is Tom Cruise's "Top Gun: Maverick".

Daniel Lora, editorial director at Box Office.com, thinks that we might have had two Tom Cruise blockbusters in the same year. We ended up on a disappointing number with ticket sales.

Industry watchers still see hope for the cinematic experience despite less film content this year.

Lora tells Make It that cultural moments can still be had at the movies. Less and less titles are coming from major studios.
