Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Crosses $400 Million Worldwide Ahead of Christmas Weekend

James Cameron says future sequels depend on this film’s box-office results.

Overview

  • The threequel opened to about $345 million globally with a softer $88 million domestic debut, helped by strong international turnout.
  • After a $13.3 million domestic Monday and a $398.7 million four-day global cume, reports now place the worldwide total past $400 million within its first week.
  • In India, Sacnilk estimates show ₹9.25 crore on Day 5 for a five-day total of about ₹85.5 crore, with trade coverage tracking a first-week finish near ₹100 crore as it competes with Dhurandhar.
  • Analysts forecast a $75–$80 million four-day haul for the upcoming holiday frame, suggesting a comparatively sturdy second-weekend hold versus the previous installment.
  • Premium formats remain a key driver, with IMAX contributing $43.6 million on opening weekend, while critics praise the visual spectacle and fault the familiar, drawn-out storytelling; parts 4 and 5 are dated for 2029 and 2031, pending performance.
