'Avatar: The Way of Fire' Global First Results?

The most anticipated film of 2025, 〈Avatar: The Way of Fire〉, has been released, drawing attention to its box office performance.

〈Avatar: The Way of Fire〉 is the third installment of the 〈Avatar〉 series and a sequel to the second film, 〈Avatar: The Way of Water〉. Both 〈Avatar〉 and 〈Avatar: The Way of Water〉 have surpassed $2 billion at the global box office, making the box office performance of the third film, 〈Avatar: The Way of Fire〉, a subject of interest.

Released worldwide on December 17, 〈Avatar: The Way of Fire〉 recorded $345 million in its first week. While this is disappointing compared to 〈Avatar: The Way of Water〉 which surpassed $400 million in its opening week, it is worth noting that the previous films also gained momentum during the year-end blockbuster season, so it is necessary to keep an eye on the trend of 〈Avatar: The Way of Fire〉 until the end of the year.

Meanwhile, in South Korea, it achieved a cumulative audience of 1.74 million in just five days. Although this seems weak compared to the 2.68 million set by the previous film at the same point in time, considering the recent downturn in the South Korean theater market, it shows a box office trend typical of the 〈Avatar〉 series.
