Recently, Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron’s epic sci-fi threequel, crossed the coveted $1 billion mark at the global box office, pushing the franchise’s cumulative earnings past an extraordinary $6 billion worldwide. This milestone remains unmatched to date, with no other film trilogy having achieved it. While official confirmation regarding Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 is still pending, Fire and Ash continues to dominate theaters.
Among all 2025 releases, it currently ranks as the third-highest-grossing film worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo, and is only the fourth title this year to surpass $1 billion globally. If the strong momentum continues, the film is expected to challenge and potentially outgross Zootopia 2’s worldwide total before concluding its theatrical run. However, the final verdict will be clear in the coming weeks.
On the domestic front, the visually spectacular sci-fi epic has yet to break into the top 100 highest-grossing films of all time in North America. However, with a current domestic haul of $311.3 million, Fire and Ash has already overtaken several major blockbusters, including Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and Independence Day. As its theatrical run remains strong, the film is now closing in on the North American box office totals of two major Robert Downey Jr. blockbusters: Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Read on to find out how much more Avatar: Fire and Ash needs to earn to surpass both titles domestically.
