After a slower start than expected, Avatar: The Way of Water is making waves at the box office.

The blockbuster sequel from director James Cameron is now the seventh highest-grossing film in movie history after topping the box office for the fourth weekend in a row. It has grossed $1.7 billion globally, placing it above 2015's Jurassic World on the list of biggest movies of all time.
