Despite the negative reactions from some, it's looking like Avatar 2 could easily make the biggest opening box office weekend of the year. The sequel is set to be released in just a few days and is expected to be a smash hit. Featuring an original storyline and stunning visuals, it's a must-see film for fans of the sci-fi series.
Budget
Originally, it was estimated that the budget for Avatar 2 would be around $250 million. But the movie is going to be far more expensive than the original film, which was made for about $240 million.
Avatar 2 is releasing on December 16. According to reports, the budget is between $350 million and $400 million. And that's a lot of money. The film is also expected to make an impressive $150 million to $175 million in its opening weekend. And if the projections are correct, it could easily eclipse the $77 million opening weekend of the original movie.
The film is expected to have an eight month theatrical run. If that's true, the movie will have a long way to go before it can claim to be the most successful film of all time.
3D
Despite being 13 years old, Avatar is still a blockbuster. Upon its 2009 release, it grossed $2.9 billion worldwide. It remains one of the most successful films of all time.
The sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, will be released on December 16, and the film is expected to gross around $525 million. The film features new characters, as well as a return to the cast from the first film. The success of the movie will be based on the film's ability to capture the imaginations of millions of moviegoers.
The sequel is also pinning its hopes on 3D projections. In fact, 75% of premium format screens will screen the movie in 3D this weekend, including more than 4,600 in the U.S. The IMAX, D-Box, and Dolby theaters will be used to project the film. The film will be available in standard 2D projections, as well.

Almost a decade after the release of its original, Avatar: The Way of Water is set to release in China. Disney's big-budget 3D sci-fi sequel is releasing at more than 4,100 domestic theaters. It is the film's widest global launch ever and could gross more than half a billion dollars worldwide.
The original Avatar earned $200 million in China. The sequel is slated to open on December 16. The Chinese release of Avatar was followed by a re-release with high frame rate segments, making it the world's highest-grossing IMAX release.
Avatar: The Way of Water has been receiving positive reviews. Critics praise the visuals and action-packed storyline. The film is expected to gross more than $70 million in its opening weekend, beating the original's $77 million debut.
Marvel's Avengers: Endgame
Despite some people being a little hesitant to believe the $1B global opening for Avengers: Endgame was a real thing, it did not disappoint. The film logged the biggest opening weekend ever internationally and broke a number of domestic records. The movie also outperformed Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens on its first day.
The Avengers: Endgame has already surpassed the opening weekend gross of James Cameron's Avatar. The latest film in the MCU is on track to reach $800 million overseas, making it the eighth billion-dollar movie of the franchise.
The movie, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, stars Chadwick Boseman, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Bettany, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan, and Zoe Saldana. It is the sequel to Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War and serves as the culmination of the entire MCU.
Disney's own "Titanic"
Earlier this week, Disney announced that it's own "Titanic" has become the highest-grossing movie of the month. The film, which was set to debut in December, grossed $35.6 million over the weekend, breaking the previous record of "Scream 2" two weeks ago.
"Titanic" stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton, and Victor Garber. It is based on the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. The film was made in 1997 and is based on historical accounts of the sinking.
When the ship was preparing to leave the port of New York on its maiden voyage, an iceberg crashed into it. As the ship began to sink, it split into two pieces. The first-class passengers escaped to the Smoking Room, and the second-class passengers retreated to the Lifeboats.
