While the threequel remains well behind the worldwide totals of its predecessors, Avatar ($2.924 billion) and Avatar: The Way of Water ($2.334 billion), it has still delivered a massive $1.460 billion global haul so far. Avatar: Fire and Ash currently comfortably sits among the top 20 highest-grossing films of all time, just behind Tom Cruise\u2019s Top Gun: Maverick.<\/p>\n<p>Budget, Break-Even &amp; Box Office Surplus<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Based on its reported $400 million production budget and the standard 2.5x multiplier rule, the film\u2019s estimated break-even point stands at $1 billion. With a current global haul of $1.460 billion, the threequel has generated an approximate surplus of $460 million. However, it remains uncertain whether the film can cross the $500 million profit-surplus milestone during the remainder of its theatrical run.<\/p>\n<p>Domestic Box Office Performance<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the domestic box office, Fire and Ash earned a solid $3.4 million over the Feb 13-15 weekend, followed by another $0.5 million on Monday, pushing its North American total to $396.7 million.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As it closes in on the $400 million mark, the film has already surpassed the domestic grosses of several major titles, including Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man: Far From Home, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Now, it is inching toward Sam Raimi\u2019s iconic superhero film Spider-Man (2002), which featured Tobey Maguire in the lead. Here\u2019s how much Avatar: Fire and Ash needs to earn to overtake it at the North American box office.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash vs. Spider-Man \u2013 Box Office Comparison<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here\u2019s how the two blockbuster films stack up at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo data:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avatar: Fire and Ash \u2013 Box Office Summary<\/p>\n<p>North America: $396.7 million<br \/>\nInternational: $1.064 billion<br \/>\nWorldwide: $1.460 billion<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spider-Man \u2013 Box Office Summary<\/p>\n<p>North America: $408.5 million<br \/>\nInternational: $402.4 million<br \/>\nWorldwide: $810.9 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Avatar: Fire and Ash has significantly outperformed Spider-Man in worldwide earnings thanks to its dominant international run, the domestic race is still close. With a $396.7 million total in North America, the threequel is roughly $11.8 million short of Sam Raimi\u2019s Spider-Man ($408.5 million). If the current trend holds, Fire and Ash has a realistic chance at closing this gap and potentially overtaking the Tobey Maguire blockbuster before the end of its ongoing theatrical run. However, the final box office verdict should become clearer in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash Plot<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avatar: Fire and Ash continues the journey of Marine-turned Na\u2019vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na\u2019vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), and the Sully family\u2019s journey as they grapple with grief after the death of Neteyam. They soon encounter a hostile Na\u2019vi clan, the Ash People, led by the fiery tribe leader, Varang.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar: Fire and Ash \u2013 Trailer<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to Koimoi for more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/category\/box-office\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box office updates<\/a> and stories!<\/p>\n<p>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/iron-lung-north-america-box-office-markipliers-r-rated-horror-scores-3-5m-on-valentines-day-weekend-targets-50m-finish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Iron Lung North America Box Office: Markiplier\u2019s R-Rated Horror Scores $3.5M On Valentine\u2019s Day Weekend, Targets $50M Finish<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow Us: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koimoidotcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/koimoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Koimoi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Koimoi4Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwo7yAqUE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Avatar: Fire and Ash Box Office Update (Photo Credit: Instagram) Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third installment in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":{"0":"post-295896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
