To date, the blockbuster "Avatar 2: The Way Of Water" has earned more than 880 million USD worldwide. Of which, 280 million USD was earned from domestic box office and more than 600 million USD from the international market (according to Box Office Mojo statistics).
On December 24 alone, the blockbuster earned 56 million USD from more than 4,200 cinemas in North America, narrowly winning the top spot in the region. In Vietnam, "Avatar 2" also far surpassed many other competitors such as "Dao Dac" and "Thanh Soi".
According to experts' predictions, the film is likely to reach the 1 billion USD mark 1 billion earlier than expected, possibly on December 27-28.
However, the revenue in the North American market is showing signs of stagnation. The reason is due to the severe impact of snowstorms sweeping across many US and Canadian states.
According to CNN, many cities across the US had record low temperatures last Christmas Eve. The snowstorm and strong winds have caused power outages for about a million people nationwide.
US officials estimate that about 60% of the country's population has received warnings or warnings about the dangers of a snowstorm and cold spell by the end of the year. According to NBC News, on the evening of December 25 alone, at least 41 people died from this severe weather.
In addition, traffic across the US was also disrupted. Many areas have long power outages.
Because of this harsh weather, the number of people coming to the cinema to watch the film has decreased significantly.
Before the snowstorms, "Avatar 2" was predicted to earn at least $85 million during the four holidays. However, total revenue in the middle of the week was affected as the total of 14 million USD on December 22 did not change much compared to the previous 21. This makes it highly likely that the film will only earn 75-85 million USD around the time before the Lunar New Year.
Not only "Avatar 2", films released on Christmas such as "Puss in Boots: The Last wish", "Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance Withebody Somebody", "Babylon" also achieved more negative results than expected.
"Avatar 2: The Way Of Water - The Flow of Water" is the second product with content following the previous work produced in 2009 by director James Cameron.
The film features a cast of leading Hollywood actors such as Sam worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Stephen Lang...
With advanced filming techniques, "Avatar 2" satisfies the public with its beautiful and majestic graphic quality.
Currently, the film is leading many box office revenue promotion platforms in many countries and territories around the world, including Vietnam. The film was once expected to become the most successful blockbuster of all time, breaking the record set by the first part.
The fierce snowstorms in the US may make the revenue dream of "Avatar 2" fall apart.
