The latest installment in the Avatar saga, *Avatar: Fire and Ash*, is making waves at the box office. The film, lauded for its stunning visuals, has already grossed over $50 million worldwide in its first two days. While these are strong numbers, especially given the film's international appeal, its performance is currently tracking lower than its predecessor.
*Avatar: Fire and Ash* introduces new characters and conflicts, continuing the story begun over a decade ago with the original *Avatar* and expanded upon with *Avatar: The Way of Water*, released in 2022. The visual presentation of this new chapter is particularly praised by audiences.
**Opening Day Numbers**
The film opened with $16.1 million in 18 international markets on Wednesday. An additional $27 million was earned across 25 markets, bringing the international total to $43.1 million, according to a report by Luiz Fernando. Thursday previews in North America added another $12 million. Combining domestic and international grosses, the film's worldwide collection currently stands at $55.1 million after just two days.
**Box Office Projections**
Initial projections estimated a North American opening weekend of $110 million to $130 million. Current estimates are now between $85 million and $94 million for the three-day domestic opening. International earnings are projected to be between $250 million and $260 million over the five-day opening weekend. This puts the estimated global debut in the range of $335 million to $355 million.
**Comparison to *Avatar: The Way of Water***
In comparison, *Avatar: The Way of Water* earned $441.6 million during its opening weekend worldwide. The current tracking range for *Avatar: Fire and Ash* is significantly lower. That said, the reality is a bit more complicated. Avatar films are known for their long-term box office performance, suggesting that *Avatar: Fire and Ash* could continue to draw audiences in the weeks to come.
