Avatar: Fire and Ash by James Cameron is having a steady run at the box office in China and is edging closer to achieving a major feat. However, before that, it will surpass a significant box office milestone in China. It is also nearing the Chinese lifetime collection of Jurassic World: Dominion. Keep scrolling for the deets.
In North America, Avatar 3 emerged as the fifth highest-grosser among 2025 releases. It is on its way to enter the top three next. The sci-fi saga is one of the trending movies worldwide, even after over three weeks in release. It is one of the top-grossing films of 2025 and has surpassed $1 billion worldwide.
Inches away from hitting $150 million mark in China
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, Avatar: Fire and Ash collected $6.6 million on its 4th three-day weekend at the box office in China. It dropped by 59% from last weekend. The 4th weekend collection of Avatar 3 is less than Avatar: The Way of Water’s $16.7 million at the same point in release. It has collected $2.2 million over 49k screenings with a spike of 46.6% from last Sunday, which was reportedly a working day.
After its fourth weekend, the collection of Avatar 3 in China has hit the $149.2 million mark. It is less than a million away from hitting the $150 million milestone. The film has also registered $85k in pre-sales for yesterday, and it played over 44k screenings.
Set to enter the top 5 Hollywood grossers post-COVID in China
Currently, Avatar 3 is the sixth-highest-grossing Hollywood film post-COVID at the Chinese box office, with a gross of $149.2 million. To break into the top 5, it must surpass Jurassic World: Dominion’s $157.9 million lifetime collection, and that is unlikely to be an achievable target for Avatar 3.
