"Avatar: The Way of Water" is, by most measures, a hit. The film is getting better reviews than its predecessor, it actually improves upon the first one's flaws, and it's making a ton of money at the box office. Sure, it's not doing better than the smash-hit that was the first "Avatar" movie (which is still the highest-grossing movie of all time) but it is performing very well, especially overseas.
The world is feeling the way of water everywhere, in fact, except for one territory: Japan....
