It was the year of sequels in Hollywood this year. Tom Cruise’s highly anticipated action blockbuster film ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ smashed the box-office records and became the highest grossing film in the world this year. James Cameron’s ‘Avatar: The way Of Water’ became a big success at the box-office and minted over $1 billion within 2 weeks of its release.
