Avatar Fire And Ash India Box Office: Here's How Much James Cameron's Film Has Earned So Far

James Cameron multi-billion grossing Avatar franchise saw its third installment releasing on December 19 worldwide. Compared to Avatar: The Way Of Water (2022), the threequel had slightly less expectations surrounding its theatrical debut, with many complaining pre-release that Avatar franchise has lost its sheen and the movies are “more of the same”. Cameron plans on making five Avatar movies in total, but whether or not Avatar 4 and 5 will be made entirely depends on the box office returns of the third film.

Like in other international markets, in India too, Avatar 3 saw less hype than its sequel. Avatar 2 was a mega-blockbuster here, grossing ₹477.5 crore. However, Fire And Ash is faring below par when compared to the performance of the sequel. In India, the Hollywood sci-fi actioner is currently in its fourth weekend.
