‘Avatar: The Sense of Water’ achieves a more optimistic box office forecast than the initial one

“Avatar: The Sense of Water” you are approaching and the nerves for the box office result are on the rise. A couple of weeks ago we echoed the statements that James Cameron made to GQ magazine, where the director shared the risks of this film: “It has to be the third or fourth highest grossing film ever. This is its threshold. This is its break-even point”Cameron explained.

Forecasts improve as December 16 approaches. A few weeks ago The Wrap declared that in its first weekend in theaters the film would have grossed 135 million dollars, but that has changed, now analysts are running higher figures. The sequel is estimated to reach 150 million dollars, and even the most optimistic predict around 200.

However, if the collection ultimately doesn’t top 150 million, the blue aliens would be more than 30 million away from achieving the best figures in an opening weekend this year, surpassed by: “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” ( $181.3 million) and ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ ($187.4 million), according to Box Office Mojo.

In this second installment, Cameron immerses himself once again in the life of Jake Sully and Neytiri, now parents of three little Na’vis: Neteyam, Lo’ak and Tuktirey. The Sully family must break the bounds of what is known in Pandora and sail hand in hand with the Metayina clan, known for their close relationship with the sea. Interpreters such as Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña or Sigourney Weaver will take care of bringing the fantastic world of Pandora back to life, together with other little-known faces like the younger Jamie Flatters, Britain Dalton and Trinity Bliss.

The truth is that the film comes to light in a very different scenario from its predecessor ‘Avatar’. The business model has changed and working in cinemas is very different from how it was done 13 years ago. However, the films no longer remain on the bill for months, That doesn’t mean they aren’t successful.in sight are the receipts that the films have had during this 2022: ‘Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness’ (more than 955 million dollars), ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ (about 1,000 million dollars) or ‘Top Gun: Maverick ‘ (almost 1,500 million dollars).

Goodbye Titanic?

The second part of “Avatar” aspires to be one of the highest-grossing films in history. If that happens, it would be very welcome news for the Canadian director, to have caught up with him again. However he said triumph it would also have its bitter touch, since “Titanic” would disappear from the top 3 after remaining in the top three for more than two decades.
