The Avatar sequel is finally out! Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to the 2009 blockbuster Avatar, debuted in India on December 16. The all-time highest-grossing film was James Cameron's Avatar, which made $2.9 billion worldwide. The follow-up to this 3D, triple-Oscar-winning science fiction film, Avatar: The Way of Water, was anticipated to perform even better, according to industry experts. Let's now take a look of how Avatar 2 has performed in terms of advance booking and broke which records at the box office in India.

Despite not selling as many tickets as films like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, RRR, Brahmastra Part One Shiva, and KGF Chapter 2, the film has nonetheless generated more revenue due to higher average ticket prices. In some locations, the price of a ticket for an IMAX show might exceed Rs. 2500. The amount is less than what Marvel's Hollywood box office biggies, like the Avengers series, demanded in India.

By Wednesday, the sequel of Avatar has sold one million tickets on BookMyShow and may break box office records held by Indian and Hollywood blockbusters like Dangal, KGF: Chapter 2, and Avengers: Endgame.

More than 3800 theatres are expected to showcase 17000 shows of the film per day. It attempts to rank among the top 3 Hollywood films that have ever made the most money in India. Avengers: Endgame ($53 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($32.67 million), and Avengers: Infinity War are among the titles on this list (Rs. 31.30 cr).

Avatar: The Way of Water, the follow-up to Avatar, was released on December 16, more than a decade later. The movie follows the lives of Jake, Neytiri, and their children, who make up the Sully family. The scenario is based on how Sullys responds to Quaritch and his tribe attacking them in Steven Lang's novel. The focus of the sequel is mainly on preserving families and focusing on interpersonal ties. Leading actors in the movie include Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, and Kate Winslet. The film is currently playing in theatres in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
