Avatar: Fire and Ash's Korean Box Office Performance: James Cameron's Epic Approaches $50 Million
James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash is facing a decline in box office numbers after several weeks, but it remains a top-performing film in North America. However, in certain regions, it's competing with local films, including those from Korea. Avatar 3 is on track to hit a significant milestone at the Korean box office, potentially surpassing Zootopia 2's earnings in the region. Let's delve into the details.
Avatar 3 has entered the all-time top 30 highest-grossing films list at the worldwide box office. In China, it's facing stiff competition from Zootopia 2, as Disney's animation continues to dominate at #1. The sci-fi flick is one of the top-grossing Hollywood films of 2025 domestically and globally. Yet, it's trailing behind its predecessors in daily earnings. The gap is widening daily.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to surpass $50 million at the Korean box office, according to Variety's report based on KOBIS data. Over the weekend, it collected $2.6 million from 316,262 admissions. Avatar 3 has now amassed $48.1 million from 6,079,644 admissions since its release. It's just $2 million away from reaching the $50 million mark in Korea.
Comparison with Zootopia 2's Collection in Korea
Zootopia 2 has collected $887k over the weekend from 133,639 admissions, bringing its total to $54.8 million. Released in November 2025, it has over 8.3 million admissions. Avatar 3 is approximately $7 million behind in Korea, a manageable gap. Avatar 3 still has a chance to surpass the Zootopia sequel.
