Avatar: Fire and Ash continues the Avatar saga as a sequel to the 2022 blockbuster Avatar: The Way of Water and stands as the third installment in James Cameron’s epic sci-fi universe. Avatar 3, released in theaters on December 19, sparked divided reactions; While some hailed the film as a stunning visual spectacle, others dismissed it as the weakest film in the series so far. The Avatar series, which started in 2009, has long had a strong presence in India; Avatar: The Way of Water sets the standard as the highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country with an impressive Rs 390 crore gross.
But Avatar: Fire and Ash faces tough competition amid the unstoppable Dhurandhar wave. The Hollywood spectacle earned Rs 76.25 billion across six languages (English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada) in its first four days. According to early estimates from entertainment tracking portal Sacnilk, the James Cameron directorial added Rs 9.25 crore in India on its debut Tuesday, taking its five-day total to Rs 85.50 crore. On the contrary, Dhurandhar nearly doubled that figure on the same day, raking in an impressive Rs 17.25 crore on its third Tuesday at the box office.
Talking about its worldwide collections, the latest movie in the Avatar franchise has grossed over Rs 3500 billion at the worldwide box office. While Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet reprise their roles from previous films in Avatar: Fire and Ash, Oona Chaplin and David Thewlis are also among the new actors.
Avatar and Avatar: The Path of Water are among the biggest box office behemoths of all time, ranking among the first and third highest-grossing films worldwide, with staggering collections of $2.9 billion and $2.3 billion respectively. The epic saga is not over yet; There are two more sequels: Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, currently in different stages of production and set to be released in 2029 and 2031.
