Box Office: The Last Airbender closes in on Eclipse with $70M
Monday, July 5th, 2010 by RohanDespite the numerous negative comments and reviews M.Night Shyamalan’s THE LAST AIRBENDER narrowed the gap between
Monday’s No.1 and No.2 movie at the North American box office.
This Shyamalan’s actioner actually grossed $12.65m (vs. $13.54m for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), according to Box Office Mojo.
While Eclipse, starring the popular combo Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart-Taylor Lautner, has been performing a little below expectations, The Last Airbender, has been performing way above expectations. Shyamalan’s actioner went up an estimated 34.7% on Monday (vs. Eclipse‘s 18.4% decrease).
One more drastic Eclipse attendance drop The Last Airbender can reach the top position at the North American box office. To date, The Last Airbender has collected $70.5m about $20 million more than many had predicted. And in order for Paramount to recover its $150m production costs alone not including the $130m spent on marketing, The Last Airbender would have to earn approximately $270-$300m domestically, as studios only get around 50-55% of a movie’s box-office gross.
According to current box office numbers The Last Airbender doesn’t seem at all likely will get that far, but that’s where the overseas market should come to the rescue.
The Last Airbender will open internationally just within few weeks.

Shyamalan finds cast for The Last Airbender
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 by Dr Malcolm CroweIt looks as if director M. Night Shyamalan has found his cast for The Last Airbender. The would-be cast is mostly filled with unknowns and minor stars, all of which Shyamalan aims to make household names when The Last Airbender opens in July of 2010.
“After an open casting call in Texas, Shyamalan discovered karate star Noah Ringer and offered him the part of Airbender’s 12-year old hero, Aang, an Avatar with superpowers who must stop the Fire Nation from destroying the world. Twilight’s Jackson Rathbone has been asked to play Aang’s pal Sokka, while Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) will star as his sister Katara. Genial singer Jesse McCartney, meanwhile, is negotiating to play against type in the role of the Fire Nation’s evil prince Zuko.”
