“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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
It is the fourth Cameron film to pass the $1 billion mark, with the first two “Avatar” films and “Titanic.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“Marty Supreme,” A24’s period sports drama starring Timothee Chalamet, finished in fourth place with $12.6 million.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
