The third installment of the «Avatar: Fire and Ash» franchise, directed by the renowned Canadian filmmaker James Cameron, has achieved remarkable box office success, surpassing one billion dollars in just 18 days since its release. According to Variety,
the film's total gross currently stands at 1.083 billion dollars, with 306 million dollars earned in North America and 777.1 million dollars from international markets.
Notably, the third part of the «Avatar» series reached the billion-dollar mark slightly slower than its predecessor.
The film «Avatar: The Way of Water» from 2022 joined the billion-dollar club after only 14 days in theaters.
The original «Avatar» from 2009 took 17 days to reach this milestone.
A key question remains whether «Avatar: Fire and Ash» can maintain its box office momentum to exceed two billion dollars globally.
Achieving this benchmark largely depends on the international audience, which played a crucial role in the success of the first two films.
The first «Avatar» earned 2.1 billion dollars outside North America, while the sequel brought in 1.65 billion dollars in international markets.
In its first week of release, «Avatar: Fire and Ash» grossed a total of 450 million dollars.
