Mumbai, December 25 – Director James Cameron will once again top the Indian box office as Avatar: Fire & Ash has become the highest-grossing Hollywood movie of 2025 in the country in flat one week. Earlier, the maverick filmmaker topped the Hollywood charts in India in 2022 with Avatar: Way of Water, which grossed nearly 500 crores.
The third instalment in Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar franchise grossed approximately 116.50 crores till Wednesday (6 days), and it is looking to collect 15+ crores gross on day 7 to close the first week at 131+ crores. With this, it will cross F1 Movie’s 129 crores gross total to become the biggest foreign film of the year in India.
Avatar: Fire and Ash had a good yet underwhelming opening of 23+ crores gross, mainly because of Dhurandhar’s box office dominance. However, the Hollywood biggie has not maintained a steady trend, but also weathered the Dhurandhar storm to carve its own path at the box office to score a good collection.
The film has benefited from positive word of mouth and the popularity of the franchise so far, and the momentum is expected to continue through the holiday frame. It will look to reach near 200 crores gross at the end of the second week, and then, it is all about how well it holds up going ahead.
Stay tuned…
