With earnings close to $3 billion, james Cameron's avatar from 2009 continues to be the largest success ever. In the history of cinema, only five films have earned more than $2 billion. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Titanic, avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avengers: Infinity War. Avatar: The Way Of Water, the prequel to avatar, was anticipated to join this group of movies that broke the $2 billion barrier. But it appears that will continue to be a pipe dream.

The domestic weekend box office total for avatar 2 was $134 million, and Monday's $16.2 million performance was pretty strong. After five days, the total worldwide collections are currently at almost $500 million. It would be difficult for the movie to gross $2 billion worldwide at the current rate. So the issue is, will it at least surpass Top Gun: Maverick, which took in over $1.48 Billion, to become the greatest grosser of 2022?

So, What went wrong?

Audience reactions to Avatar: The Way Of Water were divided since it lacked a sense of originality. Additionally, there was no cliffhanger to make the audience eager for the first installment's conclusion. The shows had to be cut short due to the film's extended running duration. avatar, however, isn't a front-loaded movie like Avengers, according to optimists. It is a movie with significant staying power that will continue to benefit from the christmas holiday season and have a successful run for 4-5 weeks. The family audience has adored the movie and will be supporting it greatly over the upcoming weekends. avatar 2 cannot, in their opinion, be dismissed so quickly.

Avatar: The Way Of Water has surpassed the 160-crore mark in india in just 5 days and is on pace to earn 190 crores in its opening week. It will be intriguing to see whether it can make another film in india that grosses $300 million. Cirkus, this week's bollywood movie, may really have a shot if it fails to gain traction.
