The Walt Disney Studios announced that 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: Fire and Ash has officially crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, marking another historic milestone for James Cameron’s landmark franchise and reaffirming its enduring appeal with audiences worldwide.

With this achievement, Avatar: Fire and Ash becomes the third film in the Avatar franchise to surpass $1 billion globally, placing Avatar among the most elite franchises in cinematic history. Only a select group of franchises can claim three individual billion-dollar films. The milestone also makes Avatar: Fire and Ash the third $1 billion release from The Walt Disney Studios in 2025, following Zootopia 2 and Lilo & Stitch.

The film’s box office success reflects the franchise’s trademark theatrical longevity. Rather than relying solely on opening-weekend performance, Avatar: Fire and Ash has steadily built its global total through sustained international play and strong demand for premium large format screenings hallmarks that have defined the Avatar phenomenon since its debut in 2009.
