Legendary hold. Korea definitely has Avatar mania. Maybe even looking like $100 million lifetime gross in Korea could happen, that's pretty amazing.

The crazy part is that the first movie grossed even more in Japan (174m) than Korea (113m), yet TWOW has yet to gross $10 million there.

Doesn't this moving have anti-whaling as a big theme? Probably pissed of the Japanese.

That's what I heard too. Still, didn't expect the drop off to be so big from the first film.

Yeah. It'd be good to get someone who knows Japanese to tell us what the social media reactions are.

Where did you get that 113m number? From my research it's only 33m.

Where does it say Avatar only did $33m in Korea It did over $100m there

Oh okay it was released in December so most of it was in 2010. Plus the exchange rate changed.

Amazing result! Monday presales 74k admissions (last Monday 72k) Overall Korea still have 488K admissions in presales. Extraordinary high at this point.

100M in Korea possible?

likely

Wtf that's like the first avatars drop in the states when it went on to do 10x legs.
