New projections for AvatarTheWayOfWater's opening weekend box office are nearly double what the first Avatar movie made 😳
New long-range Avatar: The Way of Water opening weekend box office projections have the sequel nearly doubling James Cameron's first movie. The original 2009 sci-fi film broke all sorts of box office records on its path to becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time. Avatar's incredible box office success has in turn brought a lot of attention to how much money Avatar 2 will make. Even though no one expects the sequel to outgross Avatar's $2.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY According to new long-range tracking provided by Box Office Pro, Avatar: The Way of Water is now projected to make more than $135 million in its opening weekend domestically. The original Avatar's box office debut included a $77M opening domestically 13 years ago in December, so these new projections call for Avatar 2's opening weekend box office to nearly double the original.
There is little belief that Avatar: The Way of Water will beat the original movie, but it does not need to become the highest-grossing movie ever to be a success. The excitement for the sequel has largely squashed the rhetoric that Avatar did not leave a lasting impression on general audiences. Even if the sequel's box office is half as much as the first movie, it would still make $1.3 billion, which would make Avatar 2's billion-dollar box office a huge success.
Avatar 2's Box Office Could Change James Cameron's Sequel Plans There is still some pressure on Avatar 2's box office to be good enough to keep James Cameron's sequel plans alive. He is attached to make three more sequels, with Avatar 3 already completely filmed. Some work is also done on Avatar 4. However, the director has admitted that if the sequel's box office disappoints and indicates audiences are not interested, Avatar 3 could be the end of the franchise.
