Avatar: Fire and Ash – New Box Office Milestones

The third movie in the «Avatar: Fire and Ash» series by Canadian director James Cameron quickly surpassed $1 billion globally within just 18 days of its release, according to Variety.
Overall, the film has earned $1.083 billion, with $306 million from North America and $777.1 million from other regions.
Interestingly, this third installment reached the billion-dollar mark slightly slower than its predecessor.
In 2022, «Avatar: The Way of Water» achieved this milestone in just 14 days.
The original «Avatar» from 2009 hit this figure in 17 days.
The question now remains whether «Avatar: Fire and Ash» can maintain its box office pace to exceed $2 billion worldwide.
This figure heavily relies on the international audience, which was instrumental in the first two films achieving such monumental success.
The first «Avatar» grossed $2.1 billion internationally, while the sequel earned $1.65 billion on global markets.
In its first week of release, the third film garnered $450 million.
