AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER recorded outstanding second week collections of around 98 crore nett which is is super strong hold with a drop of less than 50% and that is from an outstanding first week. This takes the total of the film to 287 crore nett and it will cross the 300 crore nett mark on Saturday.

It will be the second film from Hollywood to hit 300 crore nett after AVENGERS: ENDGAME which did 367 crore nett. AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is on course to catch that film and become the highest grosser ever from Hollywood at the moment but a lot depends on Monday and the follow through post holiday period.

India looks like one of the rare major markets for the film where it has sailed past the numbers of AVATAR (2009) by leaps and bounds. There has been huge growth for Hollywood since 2009 but still there is a huge outperformance in India for this film compared to other major markets across the world.

The collections of AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER till date are as follows. 

Friday - 12,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 24,50,00,000 apprx

Monday -12,00,00,000 apprx

--------------------------

AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER smashed all records in South India from day one and continues to do so as it beat the numbers of AVENGERS: ENDGAME in all circuits. It had done Nizam/Andhra and Kerala some time back but now it has also crossed Mysore/Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

The film has collected a huge 133 crore nett in South India till date (13 days) and this could go to around 160-170 crore nett in the final tally and this would be in a similar range to PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 as far as business in South India goes. PUSHPA: THE RISE - PART 01 was around the 175 crore nett mark.

The film has really pushed the boundaries in Nizam/Andhra and because of that, it will end up doing 60-65% more than AVENGERS: ENDGAME does in South while in Hindi circuits, it will be around 35% less than Endgame. This also has a lot to do with AVATAR (2009) being far bigger in South than Hindi circuits especially the mass Hindi circuits which did not take to the 2009 film that well.

The comparison of AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER and AVENGERS: ENDGAME in South India is as follows. The AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER numbers are for 13 days while AVENGERS: ENDGAME are lifetime numbers.
