Avatar Review: The Sense of Water: The Euphoria of Wonder and Excess
James Cameron
, in his endearing arrogance, likes to say that
Avatar: The Sense of Water
is meant to be watched multiple times.
"I don't mind people getting up and going to the bathroom.
I know that they
will pay again and they will see it again
», was the standard response of the director at the presentation of the film in London shortly after the issue of the three hours of duration came out.
He is convinced (or he wants to convince the producers of that) that, as happened in the first installment, his is a long-distance race.
Indeed, before it became the most viewed film in history with 2.7 billion dollars raised, the first installment of what is already a saga did not sweep its first week either.
And the "neither" goes by the figures as impressive as at the same time lukewarm this weekend of the most anticipated sequel.
The numbers, whatever they are, dizzy.
Worldwide, it has grossed
$435 million
.
With which it enters the club of the 10 most watched films of the year, but, be careful, with only four days of exhibition.
If we take Spain as a reference, optimism grows.
With all the cinemas literally taken by storm (2,000 screens), the accumulated 7.3 million euros make it the second best opening since the pandemic began and the fourth best in December of all time.
However, it does not seem to be enough.
Nothing seems to be considering that it has cost 350 million and that three more films depend on its success.
In the United States, it has not managed to place itself as the best premiere of the year
despite spending 13 years playing hard to get.
He is surpassed by three Marvel tapes and one from the Jurassic.
And the global figure is far from the 500 million that the gurus and experts in the field had marked as the beginning of the scandal headline.
At the moment it is too soon to draw conclusions with China still partly beaten by the covid and with Russia without tasting.
However, and here Cameron and his experience, the percentage of loss of viewers from one day to the next is minimal.
Contrary to the superhero cinema that deflates as soon as the novelty is consumed,
the Na'vi resist
.
I mean, the road seems long.
