Will Avatar: Fire & Ash Break the Box Office Record?
Avatar is one of the biggest franchises in movie history, as the first two movies generated billions of dollars at the box office, inspired various theme park attractions, and led to the creation of countless merchandise.
As the flicks have earned $5.2 billion in revenue to date, it has become the 15th highest-grossing film series of all time, and the upcoming flick, Avatar: Fire & Ash, could improve its ranking this year.
With the first two films having enjoyed phenomenal success in the past, many movie experts believe Avatar: Fire & Ash could break the worldwide box office record. Read on to see if it’s likely to do so.

How Much Did Its Predecessors Make?
Despite being one of the most expensive franchises in movie history, the Avatar movies have recouped their budget and significantly more.
For instance, Avatar (2009) cost an incredible $237 million to make and grossed an eye-watering $2.923 billion at the international box office. As a result, it became the highest-grossing movie of all time, and its record is yet to be beaten.
Avatar: The Way of the Water (2022) did, however, come close. Following the success of the first movie, the budget grew to $460 million, and the flick made $2.320 billion at the worldwide box office. It is now the third highest-grossing film of all time, with Avengers: Endgame ranked second.
There is only $392,102,163Â between the first and second movies in the series, and the third film could have the potential to land somewhere in between or higher.
What is Avatar: Fire & Ash Predicted to Earn at the Box Office?
As the first two movies from the Avatar franchise have earned over $2 billion, many movie experts predict Avatar: Fire & Ash will do the same.
As there are only three years between the two sequels, it’s unlikely the franchise will experience a huge drop in revenue. However, it could experience a small drop in ticket sales, meaning it is likely to earn a more than healthy profit following its release on December 19, 2025.
Of course, the film didn’t dip in quality in the second film, as it is critically acclaimed, won multiple awards, and earned a Best Picture nomination at the 95th Academy Awards.
As a result, fans of the franchise might be tempted to visit their local movie theaters to watch the third film, which could result in it breaking the worldwide box office record set by Avatar in 2006.
What’s the Film’s Biggest Competition?
Avatar: Fire & Ash will face much competition at the box office at the end of 2025. For example, it will need to compete against Zootopia 2 and Wicked: For Good, which will arrive on the silver screen in late November 2025.
The hotly anticipated sequels have earned more than $1 billion and $698 million, respectively.
However, Disney and Paramount are likely more afraid of Avatar: Fire & Ash than 20th Century Studios is of the above films, as the franchise has a strong history of huge ticket sales.
For this reason, Avatar: Fire & Ash could be the highest-grossing film of the year, but time will tell if it breaks the worldwide box office record.
If you believe Avatar: Fire & Ash will break the all-time worldwide box office record – grossing more than Avatar ($2.923 billion), you could win $433 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
