The movie Avatar: Fire and Ash has reached a remarkable milestone by surpassing $1 billion in global revenue, accumulating approximately $1.083 billion to date. This success makes it the fourth film by James Cameron to achieve this impressive figure, joining the renowned titles Titanic, Avatar, and Avatar: The Way of Water. However, unlike these, which have surpassed $2 billion, Fire and Ash is expected to stay around $1.7 billion in total revenue.
Box office hit, but not the biggest hit
Avatar 3 also becomes the fourth film of 2025 to reach 1 billion, surpassing the live-action version of Lilo and Stitch, although it is still far behind the 1.588 billion of Zootopia 2 and the 2.244 billion of Ne Zha 2. This scenario highlights the competitive situation at the box office this year, where Disney dominates with Avatar: Fire and Ash, Lilo and Stitch, and Zootopia 2, despite the setbacks with titles like Snow White and Elio.
With this new figure, the Avatar franchise reinforces its position as the highest-grossing trilogy of all time, reaching a total of $6.35 billion. This far surpasses the Star Wars trilogy, which totals $4.45 billion, showing a difference of $1.9 billion that could widen with the announced release of Avatar 4. This fact could change the nature of the saga, as it would no longer be considered a trilogy, which could impact its total earnings in the future.
