With this latest milestone, Avatar: Fire and Ash cements the franchise as one of the most successful trilogies in history. It is now part of an ultra-exclusive club where every single installment has surpassed the $1 billion mark globally. This achievement also caps off a dominant year for The Walt Disney Studios, marking their third billion-dollar release of 2025 alongside the massive hits Zootopia 2 and Lilo & Stitch.

The film’s journey to $1 billion highlights the “theatrical staying power” that has become a James Cameron trademark. Rather than relying on a single opening weekend, Fire and Ash has built its massive total through:

• Premium Demand: A huge percentage of the box office comes from IMAX and 3D screenings, as fans continue to treat Pandora as a “must-see” visual event.
• International Dominance: The film has seen incredible legs in overseas markets, particularly in China ($138M)and France ($81M), echoing the global phenomenon first sparked in 2009.
• Sustained Momentum: Even in its third week, the film maintains a strong grip on the #1 spot, proving that the world’s fascination with the Sully family is far from over.
