“Avatar: The Way of the Water” is a hit at the Chinese box office, but it is not the only one. Another three-hour SF film is also filling up and could well surpass James Cameron’s Na’vi…
With 235 million dollars in revenue garnered in almost a month and a half of operation, Avatar: The Way of the Water is a very good success at the Chinese box office. But he is not the only one.
The Wandering Earth 2, another three-hour SF film, did very well in just three days, which allows it to seriously compete with James Cameron.
Released during the Chinese New Year holiday, The Wandering Earth 2 has already grossed $181 million in just three days, reports the site Variety. Suffice to say that going beyond Avatar: The Way of Water is an entirely achievable goal.
The Wandering Earth 2, sequel to the film released in 2019 and available on the Netflix platform, follows the daily life of humans who, after learning that the sun is going out, build giant engines in a final attempt to propel Earth to a new solar system. The fate of humanity is in the hands of the few who have accepted this perilous mission.
Led by Andy Lau and Jing Wu, will The Wandering Earth 2 succeed in surpassing Avatar: The Way of the Water? Answer in the next few days…
Note that at the Chinese box office, it’s not just The Wandering Earth 2 in James Cameron’s rearview mirror. Zhang Yimou’s historic comedy Full River Red also got off to an excellent theatrical start with 187 million green tickets on the counter.
