Director James Cameron he hopes to be able to work on his big one for years to come Avatarsfranchise that kicked off in 2009 at the worldwide box office. But for this he needs a successful second part.
The reception of Avatar: The Way of Water it’s still good, and every reviewer recommends that audiences watch the film on the big screen.
Box office
The first financial results are coming. In the United States, approximately $17 million was raised during the nightly previews. Not hugely impressive. Then pulled out Spider-Man: There’s no way back home about $50 million last year.
Revenue for the full Friday, including preview night, is also good at $55 million, but not as impressive as perhaps hoped. Deadline Now estimates first weekend revenue at $150 million, while perhaps $175-185 million was expected.
Other sources think of a first weekend of “only” 120 million dollars. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever started last month with $181.3 million.
Christmas break
This is a good perspective The water way it will have little competition over the Christmas holidays and will likely raise many millions. The $1 billion worldwide seems like a matter of time, but whether $2 or maybe even $3 billion will be reached is still the question.
Another big plus is that the film will be shown in China as one of the few Hollywood films in 2022.
