James Cameron is back in the middle of box office discussion again, and as usual, the numbers are doing most of the talking. Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in the franchise, has charged ahead since its release last Friday and is already racing toward the half-billion mark in only 5 days. The mixed reactions from critics and audiences have not slowed the pace, and the film continues to sit comfortably at the top of the US daily charts, far ahead of every other title playing on big screens right now.
Second Biggest Opening Weekend In The Avatar Franchise
As things stand, the Pandora threequel has collected $450 million worldwide. The domestic market has delivered $118.9 million, while overseas territories have pushed in a strong $331.1 million. The weekend opening also placed the film high within its own franchise. It opened with $89.1 million from 3,800 theaters and a per-screen average of $23,643. That figure sailed past Avatar’s $77 million opening, though it stayed behind Avatar: The Way of Water and its massive $134 million debut.
