Avatar Fire and Ash box office prediction

As reported by Variety.com, the projections indicate that the third instalment of the film--Avatar Fire and Ash could lead with $90 million to $105 million from 3,800 theatres. The film could earn another $250 million to $275 million in its international debut, for a global start between $340 million and $365 million.

Avatar Fire and Ash review

The less-than-positive Hindustan Times review of the film read, "Avatar was an effort to marry simple storytelling with world-class visuals, and give the audience the true joy of cinema. But it seems that Cameron has lost the plot now. In Fire and Ash, it feels as if he created a bunch of visuals and then stitched them together, hoping nobody would notice there was no coherent story, or at least nothing new to bind the plot. It’s still a great cinematic experience, but that is despite the best efforts of the maverick filmmaker. I already dread the next two parts!"
