"Avatar: Fire and Ash" Crosses Global Billion-Dollar Box Office Milestone
It's moving a bit slower than it's predecessors but still on the right track.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is continuing its box office run, and has now crossed the important billion-dollar threshold in the global box office.
What’s Happening:
- Only 18 days after it was released, Avatar: Fire and Ash, has exceeded the $1 billion mark at the global box office.
- The third entry in the Avatar franchise has grossed (as of press time) $306 million domestically, and $777.1 million internationally, giving that grand global total of $1.083 billion.
- The milestone number was hit slower than the second film, Avatar: The Way of Water, according to Variety, which hit the number after 14 days. The original Avatar hit that billion dollar mark after 17 days.
- Both of those films remained big screen draws for weeks after debut, both eventually becoming two of the biggest grossing films in history, with the original taking in $2.9 billion and the second installment taking in $2.3 billion.
- Both of which reached those numbers thanks to international audiences, and it remains to be seen whether or not Avatar: Fire and Ash will have that kind of staying power.
- This marks the third film for 2025 from the Walt Disney Company that crossed the billion-dollar threshold, following the live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch, and the Walt Disney Animation Studios hit, Zootopia 2.
- Collectively, Disney releases have brought in more than $6.58 billion in global box office revenues.
