Avatar: Fire and Ash – ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ continues its strong performance at the North American box office. After surpassing several popular films, its next target is the domestic box office record of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’. Despite the overall sluggishness at the box office, the film is showing better staying power than new releases.
Not in the Number 1 Race, but the Goal is Clear
While reclaiming the number one spot at the domestic box office now seems difficult, James Cameron’s film is on track to achieve a major milestone before its theatrical run ends. Fortunately, there are no major releases in the coming days that would significantly hinder its progress.
Sixth Thursday Earnings and Total Figures
On Thursday, the film completed 42 days in theaters. According to the latest figures from Box Office Mojo, the film earned $554,000 in North America on its sixth Thursday. This is approximately 30.9% less than the previous Thursday, but despite this, the total domestic collection has crossed $380.6 million.
Just a Step Away from the Record
‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ is now only $10 million behind the domestic earnings of ‘The Return of the King‘. If this figure is surpassed, it will place the film among the most powerful box office successes of the modern era, recognized for its long-term staying power.
Strong Performance in International Markets
Along with the domestic front, the film maintains its hold in international markets as well. Thanks to the strong response from overseas, its figures are expected to increase further in the coming days. To date, the film has earned over $1.38 billion worldwide.
The Journey Since Release
Released on December 19, ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ is steadily but surely moving towards another major box office record. In the coming days, all eyes will be on whether this film can make history at the domestic box office.
