James Cameron’s epic Avatar: Fire and Ash’s pre-sales are the hottest thing in China and the rest of the world. The epic saga has picked up pace and is going steady with its pre-sales at the box office in China. However, it is trailing behind Zootopia 2 and the sensational anime movie of the year, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s pre-sales dailies. It surpassed the pre-sales total of Jurassic World Rebirth in China. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film’s Rotten Tomatoes score has recently been revealed, and it has received a 71% rating from 150 critic reviews. The critics praise the cutting-edge visual effects and say that it repeats the narrative beats of its predecessors to ‘frustrating effect’. The ratings for Avatar 3 are lower than The Way of Water’s 76% ratings on the aggregate site.
Avatar 3’s pre-sales collection in China after four days

Comparison with Zootopia 2 & Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s pre-sales
It has also been reported that Avatar 3 remains far behind Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, which clocked $11.6 million, and Zootopia 2, which amassed $13.4 million in four-day pre-sales cumes. 119k screenings are already open for bookings on day 4 of pre-sales and are only under Zootopia 2’s 135k.
Avatar 3 could surpass Avatar: The Way Of Water’s $57.1 million opening and pose a strong challenge to Godzilla vs. Kong’s $69.2 million, putting it in contention for the third-biggest post-COVID opening weekend for a Hollywood film. Only F9 and Zootopia 2 would remain ahead, with the final result largely dependent on word of mouth from early screenings and previews, which begin on Wednesday. Avatar: Fire and Ash will be released on December 19.
