James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash is maintaining a strong hold at the Indian box office, nearing the Rs 200 crore mark after 15 days in theaters. The film has demonstrated exceptional stability and consistent audience interest, proving to be a true box office success.
On its fifteenth day, estimates indicate that Avatar: Fire and Ash collected approximately ₹10-12 crore across all languages in India. These figures are particularly impressive considering it is a weekday in the film's third week. While there has been a gradual decrease in collections compared to the second week, the decline is controlled, demonstrating the film's strong acceptance among Indian viewers. Most films experience a sharp decline by this stage, but Avatar: Fire and Ash continues to attract crowds, especially during evening and night screenings.
The movie has already surpassed the ₹400 crore milestone and is moving towards even bigger achievements. The film's total box office collection in India after 15 days is estimated to be around ₹420-435 crore. The lack of significant competition is also helping the film's performance.
Positive word of mouth and high replay value are major factors in Avatar: Fire and Ash's success. Many viewers are opting for repeat viewings in IMAX and 3D formats, contributing to the film's consistent weekday collections. The film's visual scale, immersive experience, and emotional narrative are attracting both families and young viewers.
Despite its success, Avatar: Fire and Ash is performing moderately in the context of all-time box office rankings, globally. While the film has earned ₹7,700 crore worldwide in two weeks, it is ranked 100th on the list of highest-grossing films of all time. In India, however, the film has performed strongly, earning ₹109.5 crore in its opening week.
Compared to Avatar: The Way Of Water, Avatar: Fire And Ash is trailing by a considerable margin. After 14 days, Fire And Ash had grossed ₹194.85 crore, while The Way Of Water had earned ₹290.5 crores during the same period.
Looking ahead, Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to continue its steady performance in the coming days. If the current trend continues, the film could soon aim for the ₹450 crore mark in India. The film's ongoing success demonstrates that large-scale visual films with compelling narratives can sustain long theatrical runs in India.
