“Avatar 2” finally opened around the country last night in previews.
The box office take was $17, which was a little disappointing for a movie that cost $250 million and was 12 years in the making. That makes it number 36 on the all time preview nights.
But the weather was vicious around the country, and “Avatar: The Way of War” can only be seen in theaters, and mostly through 3D glasses.
The movie has scored only a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes but that won’t stop the audience from coming out this weekend. Disney-Fox is lowballing estimates, hoping to announce on Monday the movie “overperformed.”
