Avatar 3 Is It Beating Avatar 2 Opening Numbers?
Avatar 3, also known as Avatar Fire and Ash, just hit theaters, and fans are buzzing about its box office start compared to Avatar 2. Early numbers show it pulling in strong cash overseas, but is it topping the massive opening of its predecessor? Let’s break it down simply.
Avatar 2, or The Way of Water, exploded with huge opening weekend numbers back in 2022. It set records that shocked everyone. Now, Avatar 3 kicked off with 43 million dollars across its first two days overseas, according to reports from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeEehhBXBC8. That’s a solid ignite for international markets.
In the US, things look promising too. On Friday, it grabbed 37 million dollars, wrapping up previews at 12 million. Experts now predict a three-day total between 84 and 88 million dollars domestically. Some even see a shot at 90 million if word of mouth spreads fast[1].
But beating Avatar 2? Not quite yet. Avatar 2 had a longer buildup and felt like a return to the magic of the first film. People internationally loved that experience. Avatar 3 lacks that same runway time between releases, and it plays more like a standard sequel, even if it’s still unique[1].
Hollywood is watching closely. Early talk calls this a crash compared to Avatar 2’s peak, but conservative estimates keep hope alive for a big weekend[1]. Theaters are packed in spots, and Pandora’s world keeps drawing crowds.
