"Avatar 2" performed poorly in the first weekend in mainland China, and the box office is expected to shrink to 1 billion

"Avatar 2: The Way of Water" has been officially released in mainland China, but its first weekend performance seems to be less than ideal. It has been lacking momentum since Saturday, and after the cumulative box office quickly exceeded 200 million and 300 million, the box office growth rate has slowed down significantly.

According to Maoyan Professional Edition, as of 20:00 on December 18, the first weekend box office of "Avatar 2" in mainland China was 396 million yuan, with 6.76 million viewers and an average ticket price of 59 yuan. Maoyan Professional Edition has lowered its forecast box office of "Avatar 2" to 1 billion yuan, which is even slightly lower than "Jurassic World 3".

The predicted box office of "Avatar 2" has shrunk from 3 billion to 1 billion, mainly because the reputation of the film has been divided: the special effects have been highly praised, and the plot has been criticized. In addition, the domestic epidemic and high ticket prices have also prevented many viewers from going to the theater to watch. According to the current situation, it is difficult for "Avatar 2" to break through 2 billion at the box office. Perhaps it can only rely on the extension key to drag it until after the Spring Festival to achieve good results.

However, the Chinese sci-fi blockbuster "The Wandering Earth 2" will be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year. The film has high expectations and reputation in China, and the plot is even better. During the Spring Festival, will you go to see "Avatar 2" or "The Wandering Earth 2"?
