Avatar: The Way of Water may have taken a slight dip on Rotten Tomatoes (it's still sitting at a respectable 77%) after the latest wave of reviews, but James Cameron's blockbuster sci-fi sequel continues to pack 'em into theaters.
The latest box office updates are in, and The Way of Water has topped $1.9B globally. By the time the totals are tallied later today, it will have overtaken Spider-Man: No Way Home to become the sixth highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.
Overseas, the sequel picked up another $9.5M on Monday, bringing its offshore cume to $1,344.6M. It's now the fifth-biggest movie ever internationally.

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.
