His name already sits alone in cinema history as the only filmmaker with four billion-dollar films, powered by Titanic and the Avatar saga that includes Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and the latest Fire and Ash. Each release has extended his dominance, and the latest film continues to push his legacy forward in measurable ways.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash Breaks Major IMAX Milestones<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avatar: Fire and Ash has reinforced the franchise\u2019s power by becoming the 8th film in history to cross $150 million through IMAX theatres alone. The film has reached a $159 million global IMAX total this weekend. From that figure, $48.5 million has come from the domestic US market, while a strong $110.5 million has arrived from overseas territories, underlining its broad global appeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In just under a month, the film has also moved past Avengers: Infinity War with its $143.6 million IMAX total and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/dune-2-box-office-timothee-chalamets-sci-fi-epic-raked-in-a-glorious-amount-of-profit-against-a-production-budget-of-190m\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dune: Part Two<\/a> at $150 million.
