Avatar 2 : The Way of Water Box Office Review
There’s no doubt that Avatar: The Way to Water will be massive, the question is just that big. After the pitifully low box office opening weekend where all films grossed $37.6 million, making it the second lowest-grossing weekend of the year, the world’s next highest-grossing film of all time The episode comes after a gap of 13 years. There are still many hurdles at the box office, but theaters should be packed with audiences eager to return to Pandora’s world, at least for the rest of the year.

James Cameron’s latest science-fiction epic, the first of several planned sequels, aptly picks up a decade after the events of the first Avatar, with a returning cast including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi and are included. Sigourney Weaver. Among the new cast members is Kate Winslet, who reunites with Cameron 25 years after Titanic, which held the all-time box office record for 12 years before dethroning itself with Cameron’s incarnation. Has lightning struck the king of the box office for the third time? The first incarnation had a domestic gross of $750 million and a worldwide gross of $2.74 billion from its original release (the re-release put it at $785 million domestically, the fourth-highest gross of all time, and $2.92 billion worldwide). billion, its highest gross ever. ), and certainly it would be foolish to expect a repeat of that business. Still, there’s a good chance we’ll see the top ten lists of all time shaken up, and the film could be the highest-grossing film of 2022, at least globally if not domestically (Top Gun: Maverick currently $719 million domestically and $1.49 billion worldwide).
Back in 2009, Avatar opened to $77 million, hardly an opening you’d expect for an all-time high at the box office, but the film, which was a breakthrough for 3D cinema, was a true phenomenon like Titanic. It was The second weekend was down only 1.8% from the first weekend, and the film dropped only 9.4% in the third weekend. It may not have had a record-breaking opening (though it actually holds the record for the highest opening for a live action film not based on a pre-existing IP), but to date it has been ranked third, fourth But on arrival it is top notch. fifth, and sixth weekend (the records for the latter weekend are held by none other than Titanic). The multiplier was an astonishing 9.7.
However The Way Of Water performs, it’s sure to follow a different, more front-loaded trajectory. The opening weekend could be the biggest of the year (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ $187 million debut is the current champion), and it could join the club of just eight films yet to open above $200 million. . Still, whether it performs like a “normal” big blockbuster or another title for the record books is something we won’t know until the follow-up weekend. There’s no official word on what the budget is, but Cameron claims the film will need to become “the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history,” which would mean grossing over $2 billion (note Keep that there is no movie) He has been high since 2019). The veracity of that statement aside, Legs will be a real story, as with Cameron’s earlier blockbusters. Thankfully, critics say the film shows no signs of slowing down, with an 81% positive review on Rotten Tomatoes practically on par with the first film, and many reviews calling it another big-screen experience.
A larger share of 3D and premium large format tickets will drive the number, and it could easily cross half a billion worldwide by Sunday. 15 markets got the film on Wednesday, and like-for-like has a strong opening day 70% ahead of Top Gun: Maverick. Although The Way of Water will not be released in Russia (and Avatar grossed $116 million in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States), the rest of the world gets it this weekend, including China, where There have been some Hollywood blockbuster releases this year. The market has been in turmoil due to Covid and as a result the film may have a sluggish opening, but Avatar is a hot commodity in the Middle Kingdom. China was the second biggest market for the first incarnation, grossing $203 million in its initial release, and Chinese audiences haven’t forgotten about the film, earning $57.7 million upon its 2021 re-release.
The windfall from Avatar 2 will undoubtedly be great for theatres, but such gains are temporary and a movie can only do so much, as we saw with the massive numbers on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever which only took the box office were enough to keep it above $100 million for two weekends. Next Wednesday Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will be released, and we could be in for a repeat of last winter when Spider-Man: No Way Home broke records, Sing 2 took home a solid, and nearly every other The film was a box office disaster. Babylon and I Wanna Dance With Somebody are coming next Friday, and hopefully they as well as some exclusive box office titles can find an audience and keep up the January release momentum, the trend of yo-yoing at the box office can reduce. Has been with us since summer ended.
