Avatar Fire and Ash Box Office Day 5: Cameron's film set to cross 100 cr

On its debut Monday, James Cameron's Avatar 3 had to once more rely on its overseas collection to stay afloat. The film recently saw its first major drop since its release on December 19, 2025

Avatar Fire and Ash Box Office: Avatar: Fire and Ash has emerged as one of Hollywood’s biggest year-end releases, opening just ahead of the Christmas holiday corridor. In India, the epic sci-fi spectacle has added pressure to the box office landscape, offering stiff competition to major Hindi releases, including Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar. 

 

It was James Cameron's second-largest worldwide opening weekend to date, making the IMAX 3D spectacle a once-a-year event. James Cameron's Avatar 3 was released on December 19, 2025.  

 

The Avatar movies typically rely heavily on word-of-mouth and last through the first week, but Fire and Ash experienced its first major decline, which had a significant negative impact on its worldwide box office collection.

At $89 million in the US, the movie became James Cameron's second-biggest domestic opening. Globally, it outperformed Lilo and Stitch but trailed only Zootopia 2. It became the highest opener in Turkey, Ukraine, Vietnam, and Indonesia throughout the Avatar franchise.

 

Disney also emerged as a front-runner, aiming for a global gross of $6 billion by 2025. For any Hollywood studio, this turned out to be the largest worldwide haul in post-COVID film. At three hours and seventeen minutes, Avatar 3 really became the longest-running movie as well.
