Having already completed three weeks in theaters, James Cameron’s epic sci-fi threequel Avatar: Fire and Ash has now grossed $1.106 billion worldwide. With this achievement, it becomes the fourth film of 2025 to breach the $1 billion milestone and currently ranks as the year’s third-highest worldwide grosser.
As of now, Avatar: Fire and Ash trails Zootopia 2, which has collected $1.597 billion globally. Whether Fire and Ash can close this massive $491 million gap before wrapping up its theatrical run remains to be seen. Earlier projections suggested a lifetime global finish in the $1.5-$1.7 billion range. Still, as box office history has repeatedly shown, James Cameron films tend to build long-term momentum, making it unwise to rule out a bigger finish.
Avatar: Fire and Ash Enters All-Time Top 100 Domestically

Now aiming for the $350 million milestone, the Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana starrer is rapidly narrowing the gap with Christopher Nolan’s WWII-set blockbuster Oppenheimer. Here’s how much Avatar: Fire and Ash still needs to earn to surpass it at the North American box office.
Avatar: Fire and Ash vs. Oppenheimer – Box Office Comparison
Here’s how Avatar: Fire and Ash stacks up against Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer at the box office, as per Box Office Mojo data:
Avatar: Fire and Ash – Box Office Summary
- North America: $326.4 million

- Worldwide: $1.106 billion
Oppenheimer – Box Office Summary
- North America: $330.1 million
- International: $645.7 million
- Worldwide: $975.8 million
As the above numbers clearly show, the Avatar threequel is currently trailing Oppenheimer by just $3.7 million in North America. However, with its strong hold at the box office, it appears only a matter of time before Avatar: Fire and Ash overtakes the Cillian Murphy-led biographical drama domestically, adding yet another major milestone to its already stellar run.
