Avatar 3 Box Office in Asia Explained
Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third movie in the Avatar series, hit theaters just days ago. Directed by James Cameron, it follows Jake and Neytiri as they deal with loss and face off against a fierce new Na’vi group called the Ash People. The film opened in some Asian markets early, starting with South Korea on December 17, 2025. For more details on the movie, check out https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1757678/.
So far, the movie has made $136.9 million worldwide. That breaks down to $36.5 million from North America and $100.4 million from international markets. Asia plays a big role in that international haul, but specific numbers from the region are still coming in since the release is so new.https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1757678/
South Korea led the way in Asia with its early start. It brought in $19,710 at the box office there. That’s a small start compared to the huge totals from the first two Avatar films, which crushed records in places like China and Japan. No full opening weekend figures for South Korea are out yet, and other Asian countries like China, Japan, or India have not reported grosses in the early data.https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1757678/
Why the focus on Asia? The Avatar movies have always done well there thanks to stunning visuals that pop on big screens and the epic Pandora world that draws crowds. The first Avatar was a monster hit in China, pulling in over $200 million. The Way of Water also raked in big money across Asia despite some pandemic hurdles. Fans expect Fire and Ash to build on that, but early signs show a slower ramp-up.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash
Box office tracking sites like Box Office Mojo list only South Korea under Asia Pacific so far. That could mean other markets open later or data is not updated yet. The movie’s total international gross of $100.4 million suggests strong starts elsewhere, possibly including parts of Asia not broken out yet. Keep an eye on updates as more weekends pass.https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1757678/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash
The film runs over three hours and earned praise for its effects and action, though some critics noted issues with the story. Its world premiere was December 1, 2025, in Hollywood, with wide U.S. release on December 19.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_Fire_and_Ash
