Avatar: Fire and Ash Dominates UK Box Office for Third Weekend
Avatar: Fire and Ash holds the top spot in the UK & Ireland for a third weekend as overseas grosses push past the $1 billion mark.
Avatar: Fire and Ash held the No. 1 position at the UK and Ireland box office for a third consecutive weekend, adding £4.4 million ($6 million) and lifting its cumulative total to £31.6 million ($42.8 million) according to tracking. Lionsgate U.K.’s erotic thriller The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, remained a strong second, illustrating the duo of blockbuster spectacle and genre fare continuing to draw audiences. The overseas run for Cameron’s sci-fi epic is contributing to a global momentum that’s helping push the film toward a major milestone.
Across the globe, the film’s overseas performance underscores a robust start to 2026 for a franchise that’s already crossed a historic threshold. The overseas tally has now surpassed $1 billion, a testament to its international fan base and enduring appeal across markets outside the United States.
In Korea, Avatar: Fire and Ash continued its strong start to 2026 by topping the box office for the Jan. 2–4 weekend, grossing $5.2 million from 630,640 admissions. Since its Dec. 17 release, the movie has accumulated $44.4 million in Korea, underscoring the film’s continued strength in a major overseas market.
With the year beginning on such solid footing, industry watchers will be watching next weekend to see if this momentum persists. The combination of high-end spectacle and regional appeal suggests a durable box office arc for Cameron’s latest science-fiction venture.
