20 Dec
Summary
- Avatar 3 achieved $17.2 million on its opening day in China.
- The film surpassed Jurassic World Dominion's opening day.
- It underperformed compared to Avatar: The Way of Water's opening.
James Cameron's latest installment, Avatar: Fire and Ash, has achieved a notable opening day at the Chinese box office, securing $17.2 million. This strong performance places it above Jurassic World Dominion's opening day collection of $15.1 million, marking a significant debut. The film's success is particularly highlighted as one of the largest post-COVID Hollywood openings in China, with expectations for an opening weekend between $57 million and $65 million.
Despite the robust opening, Avatar 3's performance trails behind the previous film in the franchise. Avatar: The Way of Water had a more substantial opening day in China, earning $23.2 million. Furthermore, audience reception, while positive with a 9.4 rating on Maoyan, is slightly lower than the earlier Avatar films on platforms like Douban, indicating a mixed reception compared to its predecessors.
