Did Avatar: Fire and Ash Flame Out at the Box Office?

by · VULTURE

It says a lot about the career of Big Jim Cameron that “only” making $88 million domestic on your opening weekend is a slight disappointment. Avatar: Fire and Ash soared to the top of the box office, as if atop the mighty ikran. The third Avatar film made $88 million in the U.S., and $345 million globally. It’s the second-biggest opening of 2025, after Zootopia 2 this past Thanksgiving. The first Avatar made $77 mil in its first week, but went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time. So let’s look at the long game here, folks.

Marty Supreme also had a big weekend at the box office. You may be thinking Doesn’t Marty Supreme come out Christmas Day? I distinctly recall Timothée Chalamet saying that many, many times. Well, it releases wide Christmas Day. But the film had an extremely limited release of six theaters this weekend, and made $875,ooo at them. That’s $145,933 a screen. Variety says it’s the highest per-screen-average of 2025, as well as A24’s best ever. But the real test will come when Marty Supreme releases wide Christmas Day. “Marty Supreme Christmas Day, Marty Supreme Christmas Day.” -Timmy Chalamet.
