Box Office Earnings For Avatar: The Way Of Water: At Rs 450 Crore, James Cameron’s Film Is Now India’s Biggest Hollywood Blockbuster, Surpassing Avengers: Endgame
Avatar: The Way of Water, a science-fiction epic directed by James Cameron, has become the highest-grossing Hollywood film in India. The film has grossed more than Rs 454 crore, surpassing Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame Box Office of Rs 438 crore. The sequel has grossed over Rs 14060 crore worldwide and is India’s eighth highest grossing film in all languages. The film outperformed any other Bollywood release, including Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus.
The Hollywood film had a phenomenal opening in India, grossing Rs 40.50 crore, with Avengers Endgame still reigning supreme with a staggering one-day gross of Rs 53 crore. Avatar surpassed Rs 160 crore in its first weekend and surpassed Rs 200 crore in its second week, outperforming the rest of the year’s Bollywood successes, including Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyyaa 2 and The Kashmir Files. In 2022, Bollywood had only a few successes, none of which reached such heights. The big-budget films also failed to make an impression at the box office.
Meanwhile, the James Cameron film has remained at the top of the box office for four weeks in a row in the United States and Canada, grossing $45 million. The science-fiction blockbuster has now grossed $500 million in the United States and $1.7 billion worldwide. The Avatar sequel is catching up to the original’s numbers after dominating December; the 2009 Avatar earned $50.3 million in its fourth weekend. The Way of Water is already the seventh highest-grossing film of all time.
In an interview with Variety, James Cameron stated, “When I was writing the new films, I was going through that as a father of teenagers. And my conclusion was that, no matter how dysfunctional your family is, it is your fortress. And I wanted to convey that in some way through my art because I thought it was a big missing piece in action movies these days.”
He also discussed the film’s themes, stating that it is still about the environment. “It’s about what I call the struggle between takers and carers. Indigenous people are stewards. They are the ones who have the power in
our world right now to reconnect us with a more protective, cooperative, and harmonious vision of nature. We will perish if we do not adopt that attitude. “It’s that simple,” the director explained.
