Avatar: Fire and Ash continues its strong global run during the New Year festive season while sharing screens with Zootopia 2. James Cameron’s third Pandora film arrived after two back-to-back billion-dollar successes with Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water. The film carried a massive $400 million production budget, placing clear pressure on its theatrical run. However, in only 12 days, Fire and Ash is already close to breaking even and steadily approaching the $1 billion milestone. This places it on track to become the third consecutive entry in the franchise to reach that level, reinforcing the long-standing box office pull of the Avatar brand.
Avatar: Fire And Ash Worldwide Box Office Earnings Cross $850 Million
Since its release on December 19, Avatar: Fire and Ash has collected $851.6 million worldwide (as per Box Office Mojo). This figure currently places the film in sixth position among the highest-grossing films worldwide of the year. The position is temporary, as the film is expected to rise further by tonight. The performance shows strong consistency across markets, driven by premium formats and repeat viewing during the holiday window.
In the United States, Avatar: Fire and Ash has earned $242.1 million from 3,800 theatres. International markets continue to deliver the larger share, a familiar trend for the franchise. The overseas collections now stand at $609.5 million from 53 markets, accounting for nearly 71.6% of the total global revenue so far. The scale of the international response highlights the film’s wide appeal beyond North America, especially in Asia and Europe, where large-format screens continue to drive higher per-ticket revenue.
