Australia plays a big role in the Avatar story since much of the filming happens there in New Zealand, which stands in for the planet Pandora. Fans down under were excited for the release. But the country faced a setback with its planned premiere. The Australian premiere set for December 15, 2025, got cancelled because of the 2025 Bondi Beach shooting. This tragic event disrupted events leading up to the launch. Even so, the movie went ahead with regular theater showings starting December 19, like in the US.

Specific box office figures for Australia alone are not out yet in early reports. The international total of $100 million includes markets like Australia, but breakdowns by country come later as tickets sell over the opening weekend. The movie’s huge $400 million production budget means it needs strong global earnings to succeed, just like the previous films. Early signs show it pulling in crowds with its 197-minute runtime packed with intense action, violence, and sci-fi wonders. The PG-13 rating covers bloody images, strong language, and suggestive themes.
Past Avatar movies crushed it in Australia. The Way of Water from 2022 made over $55 million there. Fans expect Fire and Ash to do well too, boosted by IMAX screenings and the franchise’s loyal following. Keep an eye on updates as the weekend numbers roll in.
