Avatar: Fire and Ash Breaks Records at the Box Office
The third installment of the 'Avatar' franchise, titled 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', directed by Canadian filmmaker James Cameron, has already exceeded $1 billion in global box office revenue in just 18 days. Variety reports this news.
The film has gathered a total of $1.083 billion in theater sales, with $306 million from North America and $777.1 million from the rest of the world.
Notably, this third part surpassed the billion-dollar mark a bit slower than its predecessors.
For instance, 'Avatar: The Way of Water' from 2022 joined the billion-dollar club after only 14 days of release.
The first 'Avatar' film from 2009 reached this milestone in 17 days.
Now, the question remains whether 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' can maintain its box office pace to exceed $2 billion in global sales.
Achieving this figure largely depends on the international audience, which was responsible for the remarkable successes of the first two films.
The original 'Avatar' earned $2.1 billion outside of North America, while its sequel brought in $1.65 billion in international markets.
The third film 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' accumulated $450 million in its opening week.
