In India, Avatar: The Way Of Water by James Cameron is doing incredibly well at the box office. The movie had a very successful opening weekend, grossing over Rs. 129 crores, and it still has a lot more business to do. The holiday season has not yet begun, but based on the reservations, it is safe to assume that the movie won't slow down for at least another three weeks due to the weak local competition.
With a little over a 55% dip from the first Friday, Avatar: The Way Of Water held extremely well, further indicating a solid hold. The movie contributed somewhere between Rs. 17 and Rs. 18 crores on the fourth day of ticket sales. With such a hold, one can be certain that the Christmas and New Year holidays will be extremely successful for the movie. It will be aiming for a greater eighth day than the opening day of the upcoming Bollywood film Cirkus, which would be a major accomplishment.
Over 435 million rupees were made by Avatar in its opening weekend worldwide. In terms of the number of tickets sold, India surpassed the United States and China to become the third-largest global market. How many tickets India can provide for the entire run of the movie remains to be seen. Overall sales have already topped 80 lakh. 1.5 crore tickets seem like a reasonable request based on forecasts.
