Avatar Fire and Ash Box Office Performance and Growth

The film's staying power is particularly impressive. It saw only a 28 percent drop in its second weekend, significantly outperforming the 52 percent decline experienced by 2022's Way of Water. Domestically, the threequel has already raked in $217 million, bolstered by an additional $181 million from overseas territories over the holiday stretch. It's clear that the Sully family's encounter with the fire-worshipping Na'vi tribe has reignited global interest in the sci-fi saga.
