Early Estimates: James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash Posts Strong Day 2 Growth; ₹32.50 Cr Nett in Two Days
James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash continues its solid run at the Indian box office, showing healthy growth on Day 2 (Saturday) as collections witnessed a noticeable jump over the opening day.
As per early estimates, the film collected approximately ₹19 crore nett on Friday, followed by a strong ₹23.50 crore nett on Saturday, taking its two-day total to around ₹32.50 crore nett at the Indian box office. The upward movement on Saturday clearly reflects improving footfalls and stronger show occupancies, particularly in the evening and night shows.
Premium formats once again led the charge, with IMAX and 3D screens contributing significantly to overall business. Regular 2D formats also showed better traction on Saturday, indicating a gradual expansion beyond the initial core audience. The growth suggests that audience response is settling at an above-average to positive level, helping the film build steadily rather than relying solely on front-loaded demand.
Regional performance remained in line with expectations, with southern markets and major metros driving the bulk of collections. At the same time, Hindi-speaking belts recorded improved numbers on Day 2, aided by weekend advantage and family audiences stepping in.
From a trade perspective, the Day 2 jump keeps Avatar: Fire And Ash well positioned for a strong opening weekend. With Sunday still to come and advance trends remaining favourable, the film is expected to post another solid day, potentially pushing the opening weekend total significantly higher.
Overall, the first two days indicate a healthy theatrical response for Avatar: Fire And Ash, driven by premium-format strength, steady word-of-mouth, and the weekend uplift.
