After emerging as the second biggest opener of all time for a Hollywood film in India by collecting Rs. 41 crores, the epic fantasy jumped by 12% on Saturday. According to estimates, Avatar 2 has collected in the range of Rs. 45 to 47 crores on its second day, taking the two-day total to Rs. 87 crores.
The film has seen a jump in all markets, i.e. Hindi circuits, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka & Kerala, however, the collections have seen a nominal dip in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana. This was expected as the first day in Telangana was running at record levels for a Hollywood film.

Rs. 250 crores is assured and if Monday stays around Rs. 20 crores, then the entry into the Rs. 300 crore club is guaranteed. Avatar 2 numbers in the Hindi Circuits too range from good to very good.
