Disney's latest 'Avatar' installment has set a new milestone at the global box office, joining an elite club of films that have grossed over $1 billion in just 18 days. The highly anticipated 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', directed by James Cameron, has surpassed the billion-dollar mark with a total worldwide revenue of $1.083 billion.
While this achievement is impressive, it's worth noting that its predecessor, 'Avatar: The Way of Water', achieved this milestone after a relatively shorter period of 14 days. In comparison, the original 'Avatar' film reached the $1 billion mark after just 17 days on screen. However, despite these differences in timing, both films have undoubtedly proven to be massive commercial successes.
The third installment has primarily relied on international audiences to drive its success, with top earning countries including China, France, Germany, and Korea. These markets played a significant role in powering the first two 'Avatar' films to unprecedented heights, with the original film generating $2.1 billion from overseas markets alone.
The performance of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' marks Disney's third release of 2025 to cross the $1 billion mark, following 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Zootopia 2'. This milestone is a testament to the studio's continued dominance at the box office, with global revenues exceeding $6.58 billion for the first time since COVID.
James Cameron, the mastermind behind the 'Avatar' franchise, has now directed four films that have achieved this impressive feat. With the release of 'Fire and Ash', he is poised to join an exclusive club of filmmakers who have produced three or more $2 billion blockbusters. However, in a tongue-in-cheek remark, Cameron joked that he will hold a press conference to determine whether to proceed with 'Avatar 4' and 'Avatar 5'.

I think it's crazy how much money these Avatar movies are making! $1.083 billion is insane, especially considering how quickly they hit the billion-dollar mark 
. It just goes to show that James Cameron is still a master of his craft and knows how to make bank at the box office 
. I'm excited (and maybe a little surprised) to see what's next for the Avatar franchise... will we get an official announcement on Avatar 4 and 5 soon? 
. I mean, he's basically saying "should we do this or not?" 
Like, I get why they're successful - the special effects are insane and people love getting lost in that world. But still, it's weird that 'Fire and Ash' didn't beat its predecessor's record by a hair... maybe the marketing was off or something? 
Guess that means we'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Have you seen the new one? What did you think of it? 
what's up with disney moviz takin ovur everythin 
his avatatr films r makin a ton of dollaz 
I think what's interesting is how much of a global audience they're tapping into - especially China and Korea 
. It's crazy to think that the original Avatar movie made like half its money from overseas markets alone 
. Guess we'll have to wait and see if he's serious about announcing Avatar 4 and 5 
. What if he just used that energy to create something more meaningful for once? Like, what if he used his bankroll to fund environmental projects or support local communities? That'd be a game-changer 
. It's all about priorities, folks. We gotta keep pushing ourselves to do better and not just get caught up in the hype of big bucks 
that Avatar: Fire and Ash is breaking records left and right... after all, who needs original storytelling or unique ideas when you can just make more of the same old thing? I mean, it's not like we're tired of blue people yet 
. But seriously, $6.58 billion in revenue for Disney this year? That's some serious green machine at work 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to explore more of Pandora and experience the magic of James Cameron's world-building? 
The numbers are insane, but what's even crazier is how well it's performing internationally 
. China, France, Germany, and Korea are where it's at for this film! But can we talk about Lilo & Stitch and Zootopia 2 too? Disney's on a roll this year 
!
. Anyways, $1 billion in 18 days? That's just wild 
. More like 'Avatar 5' and 'Avatar 6', am I right? 
. I swear, those gamers are my spirit animals 
. And can we talk about how much money is being spent on these cinematic experiences? $6.58 billion? That's crazy 
.
and I'm so here for the next installment 
. and now, here we are with a new installment that's shattered all previous records 
And, can we talk about how James Cameron is basically unstoppable with these films? He's like a director on fire
