US Edition'Avatar' Tops North American Box Office with $88M
The third Avatar film earned $88 million domestically and $345 million worldwide, with 66% of revenue from premium formats despite missing box-office forecasts.
- Walt Disney Co.'s Avatar: Fire and Ash opened with $88,000,000 domestically in the U.S. and Canada and $345,000,000 worldwide, studio estimates said Sunday.
- Less pent-up demand and a three hours and 17 minutes runtime caused analysts to cite weaker interest, with results falling short of forecasts of $110 million to $125 million.
- Premium-Format showings made up 66% of the weekend revenue, a narrow majority of 56% of moviegoers chose 3D, and China led international markets with a $57.6 million opening.
- Disney warned the release will add to a $400,000,000 operating-income shortfall this quarter, and James Cameron, director, said subsequent Avatar films depend on strong performance.
- In the coming weeks, Avatar: Fire and Ash will benefit from the holiday moviegoing corridor, following the original Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water which grossed $2.92 billion and $2.3 billion globally.
