James Cameron's Avatar Becomes the First Movie Trilogy to Surpass $6 Billion Globally After Thunderous Response to Avatar: Fire and Ash

Mumbai, December 29 - James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar franchise has scripted a historic moment at the box office, becoming the first movie trilogy ever to cross the $6 billion mark worldwide, after the thunderous response to the latest instalment, Avatar: Fire and Ash.

The milestone has been achieved through the combined earnings of Avatar (2009), which grossed $2.92 billion (including re-release runs), Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), which scored $2.34 billion and Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025), which has so far grossed $760 million.

Each chapter of the Pandora saga has been a massive theatrical event, drawing audiences across continents and setting new benchmarks for cinematic spectacle and scale. The original Avatar remains the biggest box office juggernaut of all time, having redefined global cinema with its groundbreaking 3D technology and immersive world-building.

Its sequel, The Way of Water, further cemented the franchise's legacy by emerging as another multi-billion-dollar blockbuster, proving that the magic of Pandora had not faded even after more than a decade. The newly released Avatar: Fire and Ash has now pushed the trilogy past the historic $6 billion milestone, despite the continued doubts over the franchise's future.

The film has opened to a strong global start, registering impressive numbers across North America, Europe, and key Asian markets, including India. With $760 million through the second weekend, Avatar 3 is already among the biggest grossers of the year and is heading towards the $1 billion mark this week.

As Avatar: Fire and Ash continues its theatrical run, the franchise's total is expected to climb even higher. With more Avatar films already in the pipeline, the Pandora saga shows no signs of slowing down, reinforcing its status as one of the most successful and influential film franchises in cinematic history.
