The film is also the second-highest box office opener since the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame.

Avatar 2 saw a dip in footfalls on Monday (59.57 per cent) and Tuesday (10.59 per cent) respectively, according to the trade portal Sacnilk.

Avatar 2 is the sequel of the 2009 film Avatar and focuses on the Sully family living in Pandora. The Sully family comprises Jake Sully, Neytiri, and their children– Neteyam, Lo’ak, his biological daughter Tuk, his adopted daughter Kiri, and a human boy named Spider.
