Avatar: The Way of Water, the recently released sci-fi movie directed by James Cameron, made over $435 million at the box office in its opening weekend in theatres, as reported by Mid-Day.
Though the film’s collection in its opening weekend is huge, it is still considered underperforming as Avatar 2 was expected to have a business of around $500 million in its opening weekend.
As per a report by Box Office Mojo, the film will cross the $1.5 billion mark surely and it may also reach the $2 billion mark in its lifetime which is still low considering the scale of the film.
Avatar: The Way of Water is a sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar which is the highest-grossing film of all time.
Made on an estimated budget of $250 Million Avatar 2 stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and Sigourney Weaver from its sequel while also adding Kate Winslet in the sequel. Avatar: The Way of Water is the widest release ever in cinema history.
The film is performing well in India, and has exceeded the lifetime collections of its prequel in just four days.
