HYDERABAD: James Cameron's visual epic Avatar: The Way of Water was released a couple of days ago. Since its release, everyone's eyes are on its collections. It was also reported that the film has to collect over $2 billion to cross the break-even mark.
According to the trade reports, Avatar 2 opened to a whopping $434 million worldwide collections in its first weekend. It earned $135 million from the domestic market (USA and Canada). Surprisingly, this is lower than the opening weekend collections of Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness ($185 million).
However, we cannot underestimate Cameron's prowess at the box office. In fact, Avatar's first part only collected $77 million in its first weekend. But it finally ended up as the biggest hit across the world. As the Christmas holiday season is ahead, we can expect Avatar 2 to post good numbers in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Avatar 2 is having a great run in India too. It is doing exceptionally well in the Telugu states. As per reports, Avatar 2 collected a gross of Rs. 13.5 crores on the first day in AP and Telangana. It is heard that it earned over Rs. 10 crores on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Overall gross in Telugu states is around Rs. 35 crores in the opening weekend. This is an incredible box office for an English film. As there are no big releases in Telugu till December 23, Avatar 2 is expected to do well during these weekdays too.
Avatar 2 features Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet and Sigourney Weaver in pivotal roles.
