James Cameron‘s latest film Avatar Fire and Ash is performing well at the box office around the world. The third film in the popular Avatar franchise crossed the 450 million dollar mark on Tuesday, which was its seventh day in theaters. The film is now heading towards even bigger numbers during the Christmas holiday period.
According to estimates, the movie collected 34.3 million dollars from international markets on Tuesday alone. This brought its total international earnings to 331.1 million dollars. In the United States, the film has already earned 119 million dollars, with 16.5 million dollars coming on its first Tuesday. This makes it the second best first Tuesday performance in the US this year, only behind Superman which made 17.2 million dollars.
Strong Holiday Period Expected
The worldwide collection of Avatar Fire and Ash now stands at 450.1 million dollars after just one week in theaters. With the Christmas and New Year holiday season here, the film is expected to see a big jump in collections over the coming days. People have more time to watch movies during this period, which usually helps box office numbers.
Based on how the film is performing right now, it should cross the 500 million dollar mark on Christmas Day itself. By Boxing Day, it is expected to reach the 600 million dollar milestone. If this momentum continues, the film could even join the 1 billion dollar club by the first weekend of the New Year.
How It Compares To Avatar 2
While Avatar Fire and Ash is doing well, it is still falling behind the box office run of the previous film Avatar The Way of Water. There are a few reasons for this difference. The third film has received mixed reactions from both audiences and critics, which has affected its potential to some extent.
Also, the anticipation for The Way of Water was on a completely different level because it came after a gap of more than ten years. Fans had been waiting for over a decade to return to Pandora, which created huge excitement. With Avatar Fire and Ash coming just a few years later, that level of anticipation was naturally not the same.
Still A Successful Run
Despite not matching the second film’s numbers, Avatar Fire and Ash is still witnessing a successful theatrical run. The film continues to draw audiences to theaters and is performing well across different markets. The holiday season should give it a strong boost in the coming days.
