What was Avatar: Fire and Ash's domestic opening weekend gross?

Avatar: Fire and Ash opened to approximately $89.2 million domestically. The figure refers to the film’s first Friday-through-Sunday weekend in the United States and Canada, with the precise reported total commonly listed as about $89.16 million.

That opening placed the film at the top of the domestic box office during its December 2025 debut. It was a substantial result, but below Avatar: The Way of Water, which opened to $134.1 million in North America in 2022. The comparison is one reason the $134.1 million option can look tempting, but that figure belongs to the previous sequel.

Fire and Ash benefited from premium-format screenings, including IMAX and 3D presentations. Those formats were particularly important for a visually designed franchise built around large-scale environments, motion capture, and complex digital effects.

“Domestic” in box-office reporting means the U.S. and Canada, not worldwide revenue. Fire and Ash ultimately earned far more internationally, so its domestic opening should not be confused with its global opening weekend.
