The box office earnings of the third installment in the «Avatar: Fire and Ash» series, directed by James Cameron, have exceeded $1 billion within just 18 days of global release, according to Variety.
The film has garnered a total of $1.083 billion at theaters, with $306 million coming from North America and $777.1 million from the rest of the world.
Notably, the third part of the «Avatar» franchise crossed the billion-dollar mark slightly slower than its predecessor.
For instance, «Avatar: The Way of Water» (2022) joined the billion-dollar club after just 14 days in theaters.
The first «Avatar» film from 2009 took 17 days to reach this milestone.
It remains to be seen whether «Avatar: Fire and Ash» can maintain its box office pace to surpass $2 billion worldwide.
Achieving this figure largely depends on the international audience, which was crucial in helping the first two films reach such incredible heights.
The first «Avatar» earned $2.1 billion outside North America, while the sequel brought in $1.65 billion in international markets.
The third film «Avatar: Fire and Ash» made $450 million in its opening week.
