This Friday, "Avatar: The Way of Water" will release and dominate the box office. Theaters in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will be packed to full capacity with moviegoers.
Early reviews from premiere screenings were mixed, but the film is doing very well in advance sales in the Telugu states.
It will have a huge demand no matter what the critics say.
The film has the potential to completely replace Telugu films in theatres. There will be no room for films like "HIT 2" of Adivi Sesh, "Gurutunda Seethakalam" featuring Tamannaah and Satya Dev, and so on.
The Hollywood movie will enjoy its sole run at the box office until the release of Ravi Teja's "Dhamaka" and Nikhil's "18 Pages" on December 23.
The Andhra regions have already lost money on "HIT 2," and the film has no chance of recovery.
The film Gurtunda Seethakalam starring Satya Dev proved to be a big flop.
