The box office for Avatar 2: The Way of the Water has been hit by a snowstorm
Snowstorm Elliot, which hit North America had a direct impact on all pre-Christmas activity in the U.S., including the box office receipts of the film "Avatar 2: The Way of the Water," which were less than predicted.
In his second weekend picture collected at the domestic box office about $ 57 million, given the results of the four days of the holidays collection of "Avatar 2" is likely to increase to $ 82 million. By Monday night these figures may be adjusted upward if the weather improves.
As for the worldwide box office, "Avatar 2" already has $ 855 million, and by the end of the holidays cumulative earnings could approach $ 900 million. Thus, there is no doubt the sequel's ability to overcome the mark of one billion dollars, which is considered necessary to overcome the threshold of break-even.
Overall, experts estimate that Christmas weekend revenues could drop as much as 50 percent in the U.S. compared to 2019 - that is, before the pandemic - and, even more alarmingly, 33 percent compared to 2021.What if "Avatar 2: The Way of the Water" fails at the box office?
As James Cameron himself said, the release of the fourth and fifth series depends directly on the success of the second and third. The sequel must demonstrate to investors that the huge investment in the franchise is justified. According to the director, for this "Avatar" should fight for a place in the top five records.
