Box Office

Avatar: The Way of Water’s China run has been extended past the usual 30-day window, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The world box office welcomed 2023 with the Na’vi still at the top of the charts. James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water merrily rang in the New Year to the tune of $1.

While Covid has been exploding in China with the lifting of the draconian ‘zero-covid’ restrictions, fans have still managed to go to cinemas. Avatar: The Way of Water has lifted the moribund Chinese box office and has so far grossed $157.

Despite the arrival of three new releases, including a high-profile studio film, Avatar: The Way of Water was still, to paraphrase its director’s old declaration, “king of the world!” James Cameron’s sequel to his 2009 original fended off the trio of debuting movies and grossed $82 million to stay on top. This weekend’s stats could have been higher but the severe winter storm in the East and Midwest dragged the attendance numbers down.

The explosive surge of Covid that has overtaken China with the lifting of the administration’s ‘zero-covid’ policy restrictions two weeks ago has led to rising deaths, immense pressure on hospitals and morgues, and self-imposed lockdowns by citizens. The negative impact on the country’s box office has affected Avatar: The Way of Water’s grosses as expected, with a total of $104.
