Having first begun in 2009 with the release of Avatar, the two Avatar films have made a combined $5.2 billion at the global box office, making it the 15th highest grossing movie franchise of all time.
For context, the 14th highest grossing movie franchise of all time is Transformers, with $5.4 billion from NINE movies.
