Avatar: Fire and Ash has achieved a historic milestone at the IMAX box office, becoming just the eighth film to earn more than $150 million globally from IMAX screenings.

 

According to industry analyst Luiz Fernando, the film has accumulated $159 million worldwide in IMAX revenue as of its fourth weekend. This includes $48.5 million from the domestic market and $110.5 million from international screens.

 

The milestone was reached in just 26 days, allowing the film to surpass other IMAX hits, including Avengers: Infinity War ($143.6M), Interstellar ($147M), and Dune: Part Two ($150M).

 

With this performance, Fire and Ash ranks as the seventh highest-grossing IMAX release of all time and only the second film to cross the $150 million threshold in under a month.

 

The film is now positioned to challenge Ne Zha 2 ($167M) and potentially Oppenheimer ($184M), putting a Top 5 all-time IMAX finish within reach.

 

Beyond IMAX, Fire and Ash continues to show strong global momentum. During its fourth weekend, the film earned $86 million worldwide, including $65 million from overseas and $21 million domestically, lifting its global total to $1.23 billion against a reported $400 million production budget.
