With Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with Marine turned Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña),
James Cameron’s two previous epics, 2009’s “Avatar” and 2022’s “Avatar: The Way of Water,” each grossed well over $2 billion globally and stand as two of the biggest movies in history. So Hollywood has lofty expectations for the third installment, to say the least.
Avatar: Fire and Ash opened strongly at the Indian box office on Day 1, earning Rs 20 crore net. Despite its solid debut and strong overseas performance, the film failed to surpass the opening-day record of Avatar: The Way of Water and is facing stiff competition from Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar.
Fire and Ash, despite strong international earnings of $43.1 million, fell quite short of reaching projected numbers in India
The James Cameron movie has been unable to live up to his its hype in India. Marred by negative reviews and competing with Dhurandhar, the movie registered a relatively low opening.
Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar has become the highest-grossing film of his career, but it still falls short of Chhaava.
Avatar: Fire and Ash,” the third in billionaire director James Cameron’s fantasy franchise, is still expected to make a big impact at the box office this weekend.
It’s been 16 years since James Cameron’s Avatar first stormed the box office and kicked his very own Titanic out of the way to become the highest-grossing movie of all time—a position it still holds today.
