Two weeks after its theatrical release, Cameron’s first “Avatar” sequel had already grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, a rare feat during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It then became the second fastest film to surpass $2 billion in just 39 days.

While discussing the digital release of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” out March 28, producer Jon Landau told Insider that he and Cameron wondered if the sequel to the 2009 film would reach the number that “Titanic” surpassed at the box office.

“I was never nervous that people would lose interest because I didn’t think they needed to be interested. I thought we were making a new movie,” Landau said when asked if he was nervous that audiences might lose interest in an “Avatar” sequel after waiting more than a decade for it.

“I saw this almost as a piece of original content that had familiar characters in a familiar world, but we were showing them in a new way. So I was nervous about how the movie would do because when you stop being nervous, you stop caring. But I was never worried,” Landau added of the film’s strong box office performance.
