Avatar 2 box office collection day 3: Net earning crosses ₹100 cr mark in India

Cameroon's big budget spectacle might have failed to cause a big splash as was expected in its global numbers, the three and a half hour long movie's earning on Sunday crossed ₹100-crore mark in net collection across India.
