A Lucrative Film Franchise

Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) enjoyed lucrative opening weekends, helping the movies easily recoup their eye-watering budgets.

For instance, Avatar grossed a record-breaking $77 million and became the highest opening weekend for an original film.

Thanks to its superb opening, the movie made a whopping $2.923 billion internationally, recouping its $237 million budget with ease. As a result, it became the highest-grossing film of all time, and its record is unbeaten.

Avatar: The Way of Water performed even better when it opened, earning $134,100,226. Also, the movie earned a more than healthy $2.320 billion at the worldwide box office, becoming the third highest-grossing movie of all time.

As the films raised the bar for opening weekends, the pressure will be on Avatar: Fire & Ash to perform as well when it opens on December 19, 2025.

A Powerful Marketing Campaign

Disney has already kickstarted its marketing campaign for Avatar: Fire & Ash, as its goal is to build excitement for the upcoming sequel.

For instance, it recently provided Empire with concept art pieces for the movie, and the film publication will soon release additional promotional material from its Path to Pandora series.

As the months pass by, movie lovers can expect teasers, official trailers, and movie stills to arrive, which could convince fans to pre-book tickets for the flick.

Also, you can expect the cast to embark on an extensive press tour to promote the movie and drive film fans to movie theaters.

A Strong Movie Fanbase

The Avatar franchise’s ticket sales reflect its strong fanbase, meaning it is likely inevitable that the flick will earn at least $1 billion at the box office and could even double this figure.

While a £1 billion revenue might be a shock, it will still be viewed as a box office hit, as the film would easily recoup its budget.

For this reason, film lovers can expect a strong turnout to see Avatar: Fire & Ash during its opening weekend this December.

However, many argue that Avatar: The Way of Water enjoyed significant success at the box office as it was released 12 years after Avatar.

Movie fans might have turned out to watch the film due to nostalgia. As there are only two years between Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire & Ash, the latter might struggle to perform as well as its predecessors during its opening weekend and beyond.

It is hard to predict how much the sequel will make this December, but many signs point to a healthy revenue.

If you believe Avatar: Fire & Ash will earn over $139.5 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend (19-21^st December 2025), you could win $191 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
