Avatar: The Way of Water was released in theaters in the United States on December 16, 2022. It was released in other countries on different dates, starting with December 14, 2022.
The film is the sequel to the 2009 film Avatar, which is the highest-grossing film of all time (unadjusted for inflation). Avatar: The Way of Water is set more than a decade after the events of the first film, and follows the Sully family as they face new challenges, fight to protect their home, and mourn the losses they have suffered.
The film has been praised for its visual effects, which are even more stunning than those in the first film. It has also been a box office success, grossing over $2.3 billion worldwide.
