18 Jan
Summary
- Avatar: Fire and Ash leads North American box office for fifth week.
- Film's domestic total reaches $367.4 million, global total exceeds $1.3 billion.
- Fourth James Cameron film surpasses $1 billion mark worldwide.
As of the recent holiday weekend, "Avatar: Fire and Ash" has secured the top spot at the North American box office for an impressive fifth consecutive week. The film garnered an estimated $17.2 million between Friday and Monday, contributing to its robust domestic total of $367.4 million. Globally, the fantasy epic has now surpassed the $1.3 billion milestone.
This phenomenal success makes "Fire and Ash" the fourth film directed by James Cameron to cross the $1 billion threshold, joining its "Avatar" predecessors and "Titanic." The movie features Zoe Saldana as Neytiri and Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, defending their family on Pandora against a new threat.
In the weekend's box office race, "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" debuted in second place with $15 million, a performance deemed disappointing given its rapid release. Disney's "Zootopia 2" held strong in third place with $12 million, while "The Housemaid" and "Marty Supreme" rounded out the top five.
