James Cameron’s Avatar The Way of Water acquired ₹20 crores in advance booking collections in India till Thursday night. As the film has a wide release in 3D and IMAX screens, some tickets worth ₹2500-3000 for IMAX in many cities have been sold out. KGF Chapter 2, RRR, Brahmastra Part One Shiva, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have only surpassed this figure earlier.
But the figure is way behind the mark set by KGF Chapter 2 ( ₹80 crores), which reported the highest advance booking in India ever. This movie is the sequel to the 2009 blockbuster Avatar, which is the highest-grossing film of all time. It is expected to leave a solid impression on the worldwide box office.
By a solid opening for any Hollywood film, this film is expected to rake in anywhere between ₹40-50 crore at the Indian box office on Friday.
