by Esita Mallik · KoimoiAvatar: Fire and Ash might not have as strong a hold as its predecessor, but it is earning winning numbers at the box office. Its most recent target is to break into the top 5 highest-grossing films of 2025 at the North American box office. The film must surpass the domestic total of Wicked: For Good to achieve this notable feat. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film has entered the all-time top 200 highest-grossing films list at the domestic box office. It has also surpassed the domestic haul of the Marvel blockbuster Logan. It is on track to become the 7th in 2025 to achieve a significant milestone at the domestic box office. Avatar 3 will have IMAX to itself until mid-January, which will likely further boost its collections.
How much has Avatar 3 earned so far at the domestic box office?
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando, Avatar: Fire and Ash collected a spectacular $11 million on its second Monday at the domestic box office. The film maintains a stronghold domestically and has dropped by only 17.3% since last Monday. It is way below Avatar: The Way of Water’s $19.4 million second Monday gross. After eleven days, Avatar 3’s domestic total has hit the $228 million cume. It is expected to cross $300 million over the upcoming weekend.
How much more does it need to break into the domestic top 5?
Avatar: Fire and Ash is the 10th highest-grossing film of 2025. To break into the domestic top 5, it will have to outgross Wicked: For Good. For the unversed, Wicked: For Good has collected $333.0 million so far and is still counting at the domestic box office. Avatar 3 is still around $105 million away from catching up to Wicked: For Good and beating it. It needs a 46% jump to surpass the Wicked sequel and break into 2025’s top 5 highest-grossing films list.
Since Avatar 3 is tracking to earn $300 million this weekend, it will achieve this feat in its third week. James Cameron’s epic saga is expected to gross between $420 million and $470 million domestically, giving it the potential to become the highest-grossing film of 2025 at the domestic box office, surpassing A Minecraft Movie‘s $423.9 million domestic haul.
