Cameron Sets Contingency for Avatar 4 and 5 as Fire and Ash Reaches $544 Million in First Week

The director ties any greenlight for future installments to the threequel’s box-office trajectory, promising to reveal the planned stories if they do not proceed.

Overview

  • Avatar: Fire and Ash grossed about $544.3 million worldwide after seven days, including $153.7 million in North America and $390.6 million internationally.
  • James Cameron told Entertainment Weekly he will hold a press conference to disclose the planned plots of Avatar 4 and 5 if the series ends here, with novelizations also under consideration.
  • Cameron reiterated that the franchise must "prove the business case" for each entry before Disney moves ahead with additional films.

  • Disney still lists Avatar 4 for 2029 and Avatar 5 for 2031, and a small portion of Avatar 4 was already filmed, though further approvals hinge on the box office in the coming weeks.
