Avatar 2: Avatar: The Way of Water, has had a strong start in Indian theatres just like the first part of the series. The movie is drawing a lot of attention from moviegoers, and based on its first-day box office haul, it appears to have the potential to surpass Avatar as the most successful Hollywood movie of all time.
The James Cameron-directed movie took in between Rs 38.50 and Rs 40.50 crore on Friday, according to reports. After the 2019 movie Avengers: Endgame, which made Rs 53.10 crore on its opening day, this places Avatar 2 as the second-highest box office opener in the Indian market.

The southern market is where the science fiction drama is making the most money. Only Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka contributed to its revenue of Rs 22 crore. A total of Rs 17 crore in revenue was collected from the remaining territories. The movie is the first to record such a massive opening day number in the post-pandemic era.

They have five children now, but the “sky people” who are after Jake have ruined their beautiful existence.
