James Cameron\u2019s remastered Avatar added another 13 offshore markets on Friday, including the UK and Japan, and lifted its three-day international box office cume to $7.7M. On a like-for-like basis, that\u2019s 54% ahead of the 2012 3D reissue of Star Wars: Episode I. Along with domestic\u2019s opening Friday, the Disney rerelease has a global total of $11M so far, headed to about $25M for the weekend.<\/p>\n

As previously noted, this Avatar sortie isn\u2019t really about boosting numbers on what is already the biggest movie of all time worldwide, rather it\u2019s a place setter for Cameron\u2019s upcoming sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, scenes of which are tagged onto the end of the original that\u2019s currently in cinemas. Still, the money the reissue is earning and the buzz surrounding the enhanced visuals is nothing to sling an arrow at. Already on Wednesday and Thursday, Avatar saw several No. 1 openings, and on Friday added top starts in Indonesia and Taiwan. In the UK, the launch day was $300K at No. 3 (Don\u2019t Worry Darling and Ticket to Paradise are ahead of it there). This was 13% bigger than Star Wars: Episode I\u2019s rerelease launch and 249% bigger than the recent rerelease of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Eighty-six percent of box office was from 3D.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
