$0The sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time was always going to be a massive hit, and its taken less than 2 weeks for Avatar: The Way of Water to cross the landmark.
The movie reached the milestone on Wednesday 28th December, 12 days after its December 16th release.
Breaking it down the movies box office gross is as follows.
This places the movie as the 49th highest grossing movie of all time, and the 53rd movie to make over $1 Billion at the global box office.
There is a strong chance that the movie will follow in the footsteps of Avatar and join the $2 Billion club which currently has 5 memebers
Spider-Man: No Way Home from 2021 came close but even after a second outing at the box office stalled at $1.915 Billion.
Also following the in the footsteps, this time of animated TV series The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers makes its way from TV show to movie as The Bobs Burgers Movie makes its debut at number 5 this weekend.
Top Gun released in 1986 was the breakout movie for Tom Cruise and catapulted the young actor into mega stardom, there have been many attempts to bring a sequel to the big screen and 36 years later we finally get the movie.
After amazing reviews the movie flies into the box office at number 1 on its debut weekend with a gross of £15 Million making it the highest grossing debut for the actor, and the 27th highest debut of all time.
Its unfair to compare the gross of the sequel with the original but Top Gun opened to around £4.2 Million in 1986 which adjusted for inflation is about £16 Million, it went on to gross around £8.5 Million in the UK which adjusted for inflation is about £31 Million.
The movie is already the 8th top film in 2022, it should end up in the top 5 if not the top 3 by year end.
After spending 3 weeks at the top the sequel movie to Doctor Strange falls to number 2 this weekend with a gross os £1.3 Million, a fairly big 54% drop over last weekend.
This gives the film a total UK gross of £37.7 Million after 4 weeks of release, it is currently the top grossing movie on the top 15.
For 2022 it is currently the second top grossing movie but it should take The Batman by next weekend to become the top movie of the year so far, unless Top Gun Maverick spoils the party, and with a very long holiday weekend coming who can tell!
The independent movie about the multiverse has done amazingly well considering it went up against Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness but the movie peaked at number 2 last weekend and drops to number 3 this week with £486,829, a 42% drop.
After 3 weeks on the box office the movie has taken £3 Million in the UK.
Dropping to number 4 this weekend is the British aristocracy movie which takes £350,593, a 54% drop, over its 5th weekend giving the movie a total UK gross of £13 Million.
The sequel has not done as well as its predecessor as that movie had taken £25 Million at this point in its run having spent 3 weeks at the top.
The movie is the 10th top movie of 2022.
The Belcher family make their big screen debut as they transfer to the big screen which takes £346,591 on its debut.
The TV series Bob's Burgers is not as big in the UK as it is in America where the movie made its debut at number 3, and compared to The Simpsons Movie which made its debut on 2007, that movie took an amazing £13.6 Million and debuted at the top, The Simpsons are an institution thought!
Following in the footsteps of Venom and its sequel Sony release their latest movie in the Marvel Spiderverse with Morbius which tops the box office on its debut.
With a new comic book inspired movie there was nothing else of note released, The Contractor~2022 starring Chris Pine was another movie making its debut, at number 12 with $535,000.

Another new comic book character comes to the big screen in an origins story, this time its the less known about Morbius from the Spider-Man comic books which is owned by Sony Pictures.
With the Venom movies being a sizeable hit for the studio this must have seemed like a good prospect to increase the universe, but a critical panning and mad word of mouth could see this stall at a single film.
The movie takes a reasonable $39.1 Million on its debut, but with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 out next weekend, and getting better reviews, the movie could sink fast.
It is the 10th top movie of 2022 after a single weekend of release.
After a single weekend at the top of the US box office the action comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum falls to number 2 with a weekend gross of $14.8 Million, a 51% drop.
