James Cameron‘s Avatar: Fire And Ash has wrapped up its third week at the Indian box office. The sci-fi action adventure added Rs 21.55 crore gross in its third week, bringing its cumulative total to Rs 210 crore gross in India. The film is now in its final legs as new releases are set to take over theatre screens.
Despite the slowdown, the third instalment of the Avatar franchise has emerged as a Clean Hit venture in the Indian market.
Third Week Collections Show Expected Drop
The Hollywood blockbuster registered a 25 percent drop on Thursday, adding Rs 1 crore to its tally. The third week saw significantly lower footfalls compared to the opening weeks as the film approached the end of its theatrical run.
With Pongal and Sankranthi releases arriving this week, Avatar: Fire And Ash will struggle to hold screens in South Indian states where Hollywood films traditionally perform best. Looking at current trends, the film is likely to close its entire run under the Rs 220 crore mark.
