James Cameron's latest installment, Avatar: Fire and Ash, encountered a substantial decrease in box office momentum on its first Monday. The film, which premiered over the weekend, is increasingly relying on international markets to bolster its overall performance.
The film opened with $88 million in North America and garnered an impressive $347 million globally within its initial three days. However, Day 4 showed a significant drop, with domestic earnings of $13 million—reflecting a sharp 45% decline from Sunday and pushing the North American total just above $100 million.
International markets provided limited support, adding $39 million on Monday and raising overseas earnings to $296 million. Overall, after four days, Avatar: Fire and Ash has achieved $398.7 million worldwide.
Currently, it stands as the third-largest opening of the year, falling behind Zootopia 2 and Wicked: For Good, but it still trails the franchise's previous benchmarks. Avatar: The Way of Water had crossed the $500 million mark during the same timeframe, leaving Fire and Ash trailing by over 25%.
Despite the early downturn, the Avatar franchise is known for its endurance at the box office, often benefiting from positive word-of-mouth. Analysts will be keen to see if Fire and Ash can regain momentum in the coming days.
This installment stars Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington as parents striving to safeguard their family and the enchanting world of Pandora. Additionally, Oona Chaplin makes her debut as a new villain. The Avatar series is celebrated as one of the most successful franchises ever, with more films scheduled for release in 2029 and 2031.
