James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash continues its spectacular box office performance, reaching an estimated $760.4 million globally through its second weekend, cementing the franchise's status as one of cinema's most reliable blockbuster properties.
The third installment in the Avatar saga demonstrated remarkable staying power, dropping a mere 28% in its second weekend—an impressive hold that signals strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings. The film added an estimated $64 million domestically over the weekend.
International markets have proven particularly strong for the sci-fi epic, contributing $542.7 million of the global total. The film's stunning visual effects and immersive 3D experience continue to draw audiences to premium format screenings worldwide.
Miley Cyrus has contributed to the film's cultural moment by releasing "Dream as One" for the Avatar: Fire and Ash soundtrack, with the pop star sharing her thoughts on creating original music for Cameron's ambitious sci-fi universe.
Meanwhile, Disney's Zootopia 2 held onto second place with $20 million, bringing its five-weekend total to $321.4 million. A24's Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet, made a strong debut with $9.5 million on Christmas Day, expanding to $27.1 million over its four-day opening weekend.
With the holiday season traditionally boosting moviegoing, analysts expect Avatar: Fire and Ash to continue its strong performance into the new year, potentially challenging the records set by its predecessors.
