Avatar 3 Leads Christmas Eve Box Office with $10.7 Million
Avatar: Fire and Ash dominates Christmas Eve box office, eyeing $75-80M over the long weekend as Marty Supreme opens with $2M in previews.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is steering the holiday box office, unwrapping $10.7 million on Christmas Eve from about 3,800 North American theaters. The big‑budget entry from Disney’s 20th Century Studios is projected to amass roughly $75 million to $80 million over the four‑day holiday, signaling strong momentum as families and fans head into the weekend.
In previews, rivals faced a slower start, with Marty Supreme bringing in about $2 million. Even so, the early numbers put Avatar 3 firmly at the top as audiences flock to the sci‑fi spectacle and the year’s marquee release. The film’s early pace continues a global surge, with the franchise crossing $450 million worldwide after its first week, including solid domestic and overseas performances that reinforce its blockbuster status.
Analysts expect the four‑day holiday period to deliver a robust box office overall, helped by holiday crowds and strong word of mouth for the Avatar franchise. The performance this Christmas Eve underscores a healthy appetite for big‑ticket releases as studios aim to close the year on a high note and set the stage for a busy winter slate.
