Prior to the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, many people questioned if the film could find an audience given that it had been more than 10 years since the first film. The sci-fi movie ended up being a smash hit, though, earning $2.3 billion worldwide to become the No. 3 highest-grossing movie of all time. The 2009 original Avatar remains No. 1 with $2.92 billion.

But how much profit did The Way of Water make? According to Deadline, The Way of Water earned Walt Disney $531.7 million. A P&L sheet from Deadline shows The Way of Water earned $2.3 billion at the global box office, of which Disney retained $1.26 billion after distribution fees. For context, Disney kept an average of 55% of box office revenue for The Way of Water.
