Box Office EXPLOSION: James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash Smashes Past 1.5 Lakh Advance Tickets in National Chains; ₹30–35 Cr Opening Day Now Firmly in Sight
James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash is roaring through the Indian box office, with advance bookings hitting a new peak and firmly establishing the film as a full-fledged theatrical event. With release day approaching fast, the pace of ticket sales has surged dramatically, signalling blockbuster-level anticipation across the country.
As of 11:00 PM, Avatar: Fire And Ash has sold a massive 1,50,013 tickets across national multiplex chains (PVR INOX + Cinepolis), with English and Hindi versions combined. The sharp jump from earlier counts clearly indicates that the film has entered its high-velocity pre-release phase, where momentum typically multiplies hour by hour.
With this level of advance sales already locked in, trade estimates now point toward 2 lakh+ Day 1 admissions before the first show even begins a milestone reserved only for the biggest Hollywood spectacle films in India.
What makes the current trend particularly encouraging is the expansion of demand beyond premium formats. While IMAX, 3D, and other high-end formats continue to dominate in terms of value, normal screens and dubbed versions have now picked up aggressively, pointing toward wider audience participation. This shift signals that the film’s appeal is no longer limited to metros alone.
Southern markets remain the biggest contributors a familiar pattern for Avatar films but momentum is now clearly building in Hindi-speaking belts and key urban centres as well. As history suggests, on-the-day spot bookings and family audiences are expected to further amplify collections once shows begin.
Based on the current trajectory, trade sources are now confident that Avatar: Fire And Ash is heading for a ₹30–35 crore opening day in India. This would comfortably make it the biggest Hollywood opener of the year, surpassing recent international releases and reaffirming Avatar’s unmatched pull in the Indian theatrical market.
While equalling Avatar: The Way Of Water’s record-breaking advance ticket count remains a tall benchmark, the present numbers firmly establish Fire And Ash as a top-tier cinematic event with enormous box office potential. Strong spot bookings, premium format dominance, and repeat-value viewing are expected to push collections toward the higher end of projections.
With 1.5 lakh tickets already sold in advance and momentum building relentlessly, Avatar: Fire And Ash is no longer just gearing up for release it has already taken off.
James Cameron’s Pandora is once again ready to command Indian cinemas.
