Avatar 3’s $2 Billion Hopes May Not Be Dead as Fans Intervene
James Cameron’s Avatar 3: Fire and Ash continues to draw attention as fans mobilize to boost its performance, hoping to keep its $2 billion box office potential alive. With the film’s earnings falling short of its predecessors, loyal viewers are encouraging others to revisit theaters to support the franchise’s future.
Avatar 3 fans ask people to rewatch Fire and Ash in theaters
Avatar 3: Fire and Ash currently sits at $1.32 billion worldwide, with $368 million domestic and $955 million international gross (via Box Office Mojo). It ranks among the top 25 highest-grossing films of all time but trails behind Avatar ($2.92 billion) and Avatar: The Way of Water ($2.3 billion). As its theatrical run nears its end, box office momentum has slowed, raising questions about the franchise’s financial trajectory.
Despite this, Fire and Ash remains a commercial success by industry standards. James Cameron commented, “It is one metric f— ton of money, which means we have to make two metric f— tons of money to make a profit.” This reflects the high production and marketing costs associated with the film, estimated to exceed $350 million.
In response to the lower earnings, dedicated fans have begun urging others to watch Fire and Ash multiple times. One viral Reddit post stated, “Dear Avatar fans… Pandora needs us (this is not a drill),” asking fans to “see it at least twice. Heck, bring a sibling or a friend.” The post emphasized: “Every dollar counts. Every little bit adds up to a lot.”
Some fans are even offering to buy tickets for those who haven’t seen it yet. Another user wrote, “I’ve seen it 4 times already and I’m planning on going for a 5th time.”
However, not all viewers agree. One comment read, “Sorry but a multi-billion dollar media franchise does not NEED help from us.” Another stated, “Oh we have so lost the plot.”
Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 are currently scheduled for December 21, 2029, and December 19, 2031. Their official production status remains unconfirmed. Cameron has hinted that the continuation may depend on Fire and Ash’s performance.
