Avatar 3 Box Office Risk: Hollywood Release May Hit December Earnings for Bollywood

The month of December is always considered special for Hindi films. Big releases, the festive season, and family audiences—all combine to create a golden atmosphere at the box office. This year too, two big films are coming from Bollywood—Ranveer Singh 's 'Dhurandhar' and Kartik Aaryan's 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri'. 'Dhurandhar' (Dhurandhar Release date) will release on December 5th, and Kartik's film (Tu Meri Main Tera Kartik Aaryan) on December 25th. Meanwhile, the entry of 'Avatar 3' (Avatar 3 India release) has raised a big question about the earnings of both these films.

Release of ' Avatar 3 ' will increase the problems of 'Dhurandhar' (Dhurandhar Ranveer Singh)

"Dhurandhar" is being touted as one of the biggest Bollywood films of the year. Such big films need ample time to make money in their opening week. However, after releasing on December 5th, "Avatar 3" (Avatar 3 advance booking) is hitting theaters exactly two weeks later, on December 19th. The expectation is that "Avatar 3" will have a strong opening in India, just like "Avatar 2." In 2022, "Avatar: The Way of Water" grossed approximately ₹370 crore in India. Consequently, its sequel is expected to earn even more.

Kartik Aaryan's film also in trouble? (Kartik Aaryan movie 2025)

On the other hand, Kartik Aaryan's film releases five days later, on December 25th. If "Avatar 3" succeeds in creating a stir in theaters, it will directly impact Kartik's film's opening earnings. Major Hollywood films have a profound impact on the Indian market—especially when they are franchises built over years. It becomes difficult for new Hindi projects to survive against a brand like "Avatar."

Family audiences will spend wisely

The Christmas and holiday season draws family audiences to theatres, but they avoid spending on two films in the same month. This is why the blockbuster release of 'Avatar 3' could pose a challenge to both 'Dhurandhar' and 'Tu Meri Main Tera...'. It is also important that the buzz around 'Avatar 3' is so huge that the audience can sideline regional and Bollywood films.
