Third 'Avatar' film passes the $1 billion mark worldwide
"Avatar: Fire and Ash" has surpassed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, as it kept the top spot in North American theaters with another $40 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The third installment in director James Cameron's blockbuster series has now earned $306 million in the United States and Canada, and another $777 million abroad, putting the total at $1.08 billion, Exhibitor Relations reported.
"Fire and Ash" stars Zoe Saldana as Na'vi warrior Neytiri and Sam Worthington as ex-Marine Jake Sully, who must battle a new foe threatening their family's life on the planet Pandora.
It is the fourth Cameron film to pass the $1 billion mark, with the first two "Avatar" films and "Titanic."
In second place in North America was "Zootopia 2," Disney's feel-good animated film and an Oscar contender, at $19 million. Its global total now stands at nearly $1.6 billion.
Coming in third at $14.9 million was Lionsgate's "The Housemaid," a film version of Freida McFadden's best-selling novel about a young woman (Sydney Sweeney) who is hired by a wealthy couple (Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar) with dark secrets.
"Marty Supreme," A24's period sports drama starring Timothee Chalamet, finished in fourth place with $12.6 million.
"Anaconda," the new meta comedy action flick starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black as friends trying to reboot the original 1997 horror film, finished in fifth place with $10 million.
Rounding out the top 10 are:
"The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants" ($8.2 million)
"David" ($8 million)
"Song Sung Blue" ($5.8 million)
"Wicked: For Good" ($3.3 million)
"Five Nights at Freddy's 2" ($2.7 million)
