As per the news publications, 'Avatar 2' is also the second highest-grossing IMAX film, trailing only 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' at USD 227 million. With around USD 229 million, it is also the highest-grossing studio film of the epidemic era in China. The film was a huge hit in India, grossing Rs 386.90 crore at the box office.
