Avatar: Fire and Ash is looking to record a spike of 20 per cent on New Year, adding Rs. 6.25 crore to the tally. After raking in over Rs. 129.75 crore in the first week, the movie collected Rs. 56.25 crore in the second week, bringing its total two-week cume to Rs. 186 crore gross at the Indian box office. With this sort of impressive run, the movie has emerged as a Clean Hit venture in India.
Directed by James Cameron, the sci-fi action adventure film is expected to cross the Rs. 200 crore mark in the coming week. Post which, it will march towards its final target, which would be under the Rs. 250 crore mark. This would be a good closing figure for a Hollywood movie, but not for the Avatar brand and franchise. The previous film in the franchise, Avatar: The Way of Water, remains the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India with Rs. 465 crore gross.
The film has performed best in Tamil Nadu, which has consistently been the case for Hollywood releases on Christmas/New Year week in the last couple of years, be it Mufasa last year or Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021 or The Way of Water in 2022.
