Avatar: Fire and Ash remained steady on its second Tuesday. The sci-fi film added another Rs. 5 crore to the tally, bringing the total 12-day cume closer to the Rs. 175 crore gross mark at the Indian box office. These figures exclude 3D charges, as it is the reporting norm in India.
The Hollywood biggie collected Rs. 129.75 crore in its opening week. The second week cume hits Rs. 44.75 crore today. It is expected to reach Rs. 53 to 55 crore gross, which means the movie is on track to close its 14-day theatrical run at the Rs. 185 crore mark in India. The movie is expected to hit the Rs. 200 crore mark in the third weekend and Rs. 250 crore in its full run. Though it will be a good closing figure for a Hollywood movie, it’s quite underwhelming considering the Avatar brand and the massive creative force- James Cameron.
The film has performed best in Tamil Nadu, which has consistently been the case for Hollywood releases on Christmas 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. The neighbouring Kerala is showing the steepest decline compared to Avatar 2, with threequel set to finish around 70 per cent lower. While some may attribute the competition from Dhurandhar as a reason for its underperformance, the reality is that Hindi circuits have held relatively better than South compared to Avatar 2, so it’s not that.
