Avatar 3, officially titled Avatar: Fire and Ash, has made $137 million at the box office so far. The movie came out in the United States just two days ago on December 19, 2025, so this early total shows strong interest from fans. For more details, check the Wikipedia page on the film.
James Cameron directed this epic science fiction adventure, which picks up after Avatar: The Way of Water from 2022. He worked on the story and screenplay with Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno. The film comes from 20th Century Studios and Lightstorm Entertainment, and it had a huge budget of more than $400 million, making it one of the costliest movies ever produced. It honors editor John Refoua, who passed away in 2023, and producer Jon Landau, who died in 2024.
The world premiere happened at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on December 1, 2025. Since the release is so recent, the $137 million figure captures ticket sales from its opening days worldwide. Critics like the stunning visuals, deep characters, strong acting, and exciting action scenes. Some point out issues with the plot, screenplay, and long runtime, but the early buzz is positive overall.
This is the third film in the Avatar series, with two more to come: Avatar 4 in 2029 and Avatar 5 in 2031. The project faced nine delays to perfect the writing, pre-production, and visual effects, much like the previous movie.
