Avatar: Fire and Ash is making waves with impressive pre-sales in China, exceeding Jurassic World Rebirth. Only Zootopia 2 has higher pre-sales numbers.
James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash is generating significant buzz, particularly in the Chinese box office. The film has already secured the second-highest pre-sales figures for a Hollywood release in 2025, outperforming Jurassic World Rebirth in just three days. According to reports, only Zootopia 2 has achieved greater pre-sales success.
The stakes are high for this third installment in the Avatar franchise, one of the year's most expensive productions. Avatar 3 needs to gross around $1 billion to reach its break-even point. The financial success of this film is critical, potentially determining whether the planned fourth and fifth movies are greenlit.
**Pre-Sales Exceed $5 Million in China**
Trade analyst Luiz Fernando reports that Avatar: Fire and Ash had already surpassed $5 million in Chinese pre-sales after only three days. By the end of Monday, covering December 17-21, the film had amassed $5.4 million. Pre-sales continue for another three days before the official theatrical release.
A breakdown of the three-day pre-sales figures:
- Wednesday (early screenings): $240,000
- Thursday (previews): $620,000
- Friday (opening day): $1.9 million
- Saturday (day 2): $1.9 million
- Sunday (day 3): $750,000
- Total: $5.4 million**
**Second-Largest Pre-Sales of the Year for Hollywood**
Avatar 3's impressive performance has allowed it to overtake Jurassic World Rebirth in pre-sales within China. The latter film, starring Scarlett Johansson, earned $3.9 million in pre-sales. James Cameron's movie has now claimed the spot as the second-highest Hollywood pre-sales of 2025 in China.
That said, the reality is a bit more complicated. Avatar 3's pre-sales still trail behind Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle ($9.7 million) and Zootopia 2 ($11 million). It is worth noting that 102,000 screenings were available for booking by the third day of pre-sales, second only to Zootopia 2's 126,000 screenings.
**What's the Story of Avatar 3?**
Set a year after Neteyam's death, Avatar: Fire and Ash sees Jake and Neytiri's family confronting a new threat. The Mangkwan clan, also known as the Ash People, led by Varang, have allied with Quaritch, plunging Pandora into a potentially devastating conflict. The film, featuring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, and Sigourney Weaver, is slated for release on December 19.
