‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Has No Chance of Catching the Original
Reporting by Collider indicates James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash has been playing in theaters for nearly 50 days and is nearing the end of its run, and it has no chance of matching either of its predecessors at the box office. The threequel earned the weakest reviews of the trilogy and is the least-liked installment on Rotten Tomatoes, holding a 66% score compared with 81% for the first film and 76% for the second.
It is also the trilogy's first film not to receive a Best Picture nod at the Oscars. While the film has passed the $1 billion global milestone and sits among the 20 highest-grossing films of all time, its domestic performance lags: around $385 million domestically and a little over $1.4 billion worldwide, roughly half of the first film's box office totals (nearly $800 million domestically and around $2.9 billion worldwide) and behind the second film (nearly $700 million domestically and $2.3 billion worldwide).
