The movie Avatar: Fire and Ash has continued its record run, entering the all-time IMAX box office top 10 and producing the highest-grossing actor in history.
On the 19th, the film Avatar: Fire and Ash (director James Cameron, imported/distributed by Walt Disney Company Korea) released its box office records.
First, Avatar: Fire and Ash was No. 1 at the North American box office for three days from the 16th to the 18th, achieving the feat of holding the top spot for five consecutive weeks. At the same time, it drew attention by entering the all-time box office top 10 in IMAX screenings, where the film's vast worldbuilding and visuals can be most fully appreciated. Avatar: Fire and Ash earned $112 million in IMAX screenings through the end of last year (about 165.096 billion won), surpassing the $95.9 million earned by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Mugen Train and becoming the top-grossing Hollywood film in IMAX screening revenue for 2025. Riding this hot box office fever, in its fourth weekend it achieved $159 million (about 234.270606 billion won) and rose to No. 7 on the all-time IMAX box office list, surpassing Interstellar ($147 million) and Dune: Part Two ($150 million), making its future box office trajectory worth watching.
Also, Zoe Saldana, who played 'Neytiri' in the Avatar series and delivered intense action and emotionally stirring performances, has drawn attention for becoming the highest-grossing actor in history. With the success of Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zoe Saldana has earned a total of $15.47 billion (about 22.79044 trillion won) in revenue, surpassing Scarlett Johansson to claim first place. Through her social media, she said she was sincerely grateful for every step of the journey to become the highest-grossing actor ever, and she expressed particular thanks to director James Cameron, saying, "Thank you for believing in my potential and for seeing possibilities I myself did not see and encouraging me to take on the challenge."
Even a month after its release, Avatar: Fire and Ash is showing an undying box office phenomenon. The film is the third in the Avatar series, telling a larger crisis unfolding on a Pandora covered in fire and ash after the death of Jake and Neytiri's first son, Neteyam, when the Sully family, grieving, is confronted by the Ash People led by Varang. It drew 13.62 million viewers domestically and is currently screening nationwide.
