James Cameron’s Avatar is back in theatres today and it has already witnessed a good start in its overseas market. The 2009 movie has been remastered and re-released before its much-awaited sequel hits the big screen in December this year.
The James Cameron directorial is not the first re-release of this year. Before this, Spider-Man: No Way Home made it to the big screen with an extended cut. While talking about the Zoe Saldana starrer, though it doesn’t have any new footage being added in the movie itself, it does consist of a post-credit scene teasing the upcoming sequel.
Coming back to the point, the Avatar re-release has already opened to a few theatres overseas, and the numbers it has clocked are great. As per Collider, the James Cameron directorial has started its journey with five early overseas markets, including France, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, and the Philippines, and made $877K.
