Los Angeles, December 14 - The box office projection for James Cameron's mega movie
Avatar: The Way of Water is getting better and better with each passing day. The movie was anyway projected to take a huge opening but after highly positive critics' reviews, the projection has increased significantly.
The sequel to Cameron's all-time biggest grosser "Avatar" (2009), "Avatar 2" has been projected to take the opening of approx. $175 million - $200 million at the domestic (North America) box office opening weekend, which is nearly 3X of the first movie's debut.
The movie was recently confirmed to release in China on December 16, and this has raised its overseas box office projection massively. As per the Hollywood trade analysts, "Avatar 2" is tracking one of the biggest openings in China wherein some have projected a $200 million debut for the movie.
The Disney tentpole is currently tracking a $350 million - $400 million overseas opening weekend start, for a global start of $550 million. The movie is a sure shot $1 billion grosser, even $2 billion seems to be a cakewalk, which is the minimum need for the movie to break even and turn a profit.
"Avatar: The Way of Water" is scheduled to release on December 16 in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages in multiple formats.
