Additionally, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is the second fastest film in history to reach $2 billion, after ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ and it is now the 11th highest-grossing release of all time domestically. ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is also the highest-grossing film of all time in France, Austria, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Lebanon, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Cambodia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Colombia, and Puerto Rico."
