‘Top Gun’ to ‘Avatar’, these are the highest-grossing motion pictures of 2022

“Avatar: The Way of Water” has actually made over $1 billion in ticket sales in simply 2 weeks.

James Cameron’s hit, the follow up to the highest-grossing motion picture of perpetuity, signs up with “Jurassic World: Dominion” as a 10- figure earner this year and might depose Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick” as the highest-grossing 2022 release by the end of its time in theaters.

“Avatar’s” efficiency indicates that 2022 will end with 3 movies passing the billion-dollar limit at package workplace.

While that’s a far cry from the 9 billion-dollar grossers that 2019– the last complete ticket office year prior to the pandemic– had, it’s still a boost from 2020 and 2021 which had absolutely no and one motion pictures make over $1 billion, respectively.

Though some market watchers had actually forecasted that the domestic ticket office would cross $8 or $9 billion, those hopes were rushed in part due to the fact that some big-budget movies have actually been postponed, consisting of another Tom Cruise title, the hotly-anticipated “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”.

“We might have been in a situation where we had two Tom Cruise blockbusters in the same year,” states Daniel Lor ía, editorial director at BoxOffice com. “So I think that’s why we ended up on an ultimately disappointing number with ticket sales.”

Despite there being 40% less movie material in theaters this year compared to 2019, market watchers still see wish for the cinematic experience.

“What we do know is we can still have cultural moments of going to the movies for something that’s uniquely a cinema experience,” Lor ían informs MakeIt “But we are seeing less and less titles coming out from major studios.”
