It remains to be seen whether what director James Cameron calls “the worst business plan in film history” will ultimately work out. Because Avatar: The Way of Water should (must) aim for a worldwide gross of at least two billion US dollars in order to cover its immense production costs. Half done, like on Box office mojo is to read. On the occasion of the Christmas holidays and between the years, many science fiction fans were drawn to the cinemas.
The financial success of the second Avatar strip was in the balance within the first weekend after its release. With global sales of $435 million, The Way of Water was only the third highest-grossing film release of the post-pandemic era. It couldn’t beat Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($442 million) and Spider-Man: No Way Home ($600 million). In the end, neither film managed to break the 2 billion mark.
Germany among the “Top 5”
As is well known, the US market is also one of the most important for Avatar 2, even if only about a third of the revenues are generated here. In addition, China has already grossed over $100 million, followed by France ($60 million), South Korea ($53 million), India ($39 million), Germany ($36 million). ) and the United Kingdom ($33 million).
It remains to be seen if Avatar: The Way of Water will eventually join 2 billion blockbusters like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Star Wars: Episode VII, Titanic and the first Avatar part.
