The long-delayed sequel has proved a hit with audiences despite  wildly varying reviews . It is one of only three films to surpass $1bn this year, after Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World Dominion. However, director James Cameron has said his technologically innovative movie  needs to make $2bn to break even . The film picks up after the events of 2009's Avatar, which is the highest-grossing film of all time, with box office receipts of $2.97 billion (£2.47 billion).
