Although it remains at the top spot in North America in all respects, in some regions, it faces competition from local films, including those from Korea. Avatar 3 is on track to hit a key mark at the Korean box office and might even catch up to Zootopia 2\u2019s collection in the region. Keep scrolling for the deets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avatar 3 has entered the all-time top 30 highest-grossing films list at the worldwide box office. In China, it is facing steep competition from Zootopia 2, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/hollywood-news\/disneys-strange-but-firm-rule-book-3-things-that-are-strictly-a-no-for-the-biggest-film-studio-in-hollywood\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disney<\/a> animation continues to rule at #1. The sci-fi flick is one of the top-grossing Hollywood films of 2025 at the domestic and worldwide box office. However, it is trailing considerably behind its predecessors in the dailies. The gap keeps increasing every day.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash set to cross $50 million at the Korean box office<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/box-office\/korea-box-office-once-we-were-us-avatar-fire-and-ash-1236629190\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Variety<\/a>\u2018s report based on the data from KOBIS, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council, Avatar: Fire and Ash collected $2.6 million over the weekend from 316,262 admissions. Avatar 3 has now amassed $48.1 million from 6,079,644 admissions since its release. James Cameron\u2019s film is around $2 million away from hitting the $50 million mark at the box office in Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Comparison with Zootopia 2\u2019s collection in Korea<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/reviews\/hollywood-movie-reviews\/zootopia-2-movie-review-disneys-magic-endures-in-a-thrilling-beautifully-animated-sequel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zootopia 2<\/a> has collected $887k over the weekend from 133,639 admissions, bringing its collection to $54.8 million. It was released in November 2025, and the admissions have reached over 8.3 million. Avatar 3 is around $7 million away from outgrossing the Disney animation, and that is not a huge gap. Avatar 3 still has a shot of catching up to the Zootopia sequel.<\/p>\n<p>More about Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avatar: Fire and Ash has collected over $888.3 million at the overseas box office, including the collection from the Korean box office.
