The film's success can also be attributed to its marketing strategy.

- Avengers: Endgame (2019): $2.799 billion
Avatar 2's release was also timed to take advantage of the holiday season, when movie-going is at its highest. The strategy paid off, as the film grossed $1 billion in just its first 10 days, an unprecedented achievement. It also helped that the film was released in China, where it broke records by grossing more than $500 million in its first week alone.
The film's success is also a testament to James Cameron's vision and determination. The filmmaker has been working on the sequel for more than a decade, and has been heavily involved in every aspect of its production, from writing and directing to producing and supervising the visual effects. He has also been a vocal advocate for advancing the technology used in filmmaking, and the film's use of cutting-edge motion capture, 3D, and virtual production techniques have helped to set new standards for the industry.
