The Avatar franchise has already passed several hit properties at the box office, but there are still 10 major franchises it can beat after Avatar 5.
With three more movies to go, Avatar is likely to surpass 10 more film franchises at the box office before the end of the James Cameron series. Avatar already boasts two of the three highest-grossing films of all time, including the original 2009 movie at the number one spot with $2.9 billion and the 2022 sequel Avatar: The Way of Water in third place with $2.3 billion and climbing. Therefore, the Avatar franchise has a running accumulated gross of $5.
9 Jurassic Park The Avatar film series can also still beat the box office total of the Jurassic Park franchise. Since debuting in 1993, the six Jurassic Park movies have accumulated a total box office gross of $6.01 billion. The highest-grossing movie in the Jurassic Park franchise is Jurassic World with $1.67 billion, while the last installment in the series, Jurassic World Dominion , added another $1 billion to the total.
Although the DCU's upcoming release schedule includes more movies than Avatar, the latter franchise averages far more money per movie. As such, should James Cameron add another $6 billion to Avatar’s total by the time 2028’s Avatar 5 leaves theaters, its $11 billion accumulation is still situated to beat the DCU. The DCU would have to double its total box office earnings in the next five years in order to beat Avatar, which isn’t likely to happen unless Warner Bros.
However, the arrival of the upcoming movie Avatar 4 in December 2026 is apt to be what brings the James Cameron franchise ahead of the Batman movies’ box office total. While The Batman’s October 2025 sequel could bring the franchise to a box office total of approximately $9 billion, the Avatar franchise is expected to surpass this number by the time Avatar 4 leaves theaters.
