Avatar: The Way of Water India box office collection Day 1: James Cameron's vision has a huge fan following in India as well. Even 13 years after Avatar (2009), the sequel of epic adventure starts on a huge note, and it has even surpassed the record of the last Marvel blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the first-day figures, James Cameron's latest directorial has earned Rs 41 crores from the four languages. Avatar 2 has been released in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. On his Twitter, Taran wrote, "#Avatar is FANTABULOUS on Day 1… #South markets go on an OVERDRIVE, HISTORIC NUMBERS… #North ranges from VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT… Has scope to grow in mass pockets… Fri ₹ 41 cr+ Nett BOC. #India biz. All versions. #AvatarTheWayOfWater #Avatar2."
Here's the tweet
The film has beat Marvel's last-year blockbuster Spider-Man No Way Home. But it failed to surpass the opening of juggernaut Avengers Endgame. Going with the trend, it would be a safe bet to predict Avatar: The Way of Water collecting Rs 100 crore in the opening weekend itself. Taran also declared that Avatar 2 has become 2nd biggest Hollywood film in India. After 2019's Avengers Endgame, Avatar 2 tops the list. Followed by Spider-Man: No Way Home, Avengers: Infinity War and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. When it comes to records, Avengers Endgame earned Rs 53.10 crores, and Spider-Man: No Way Home minted 32.67 crores.
