Fireplace And Ash Conquers 2 New Releases, Extends Field Workplace Streak With 4th #1 Weekend In A Row

Avatar: Fireplace and Ash is ready to high the home field workplace chart as soon as once more. After debuting at No. 1 with the second-best opening weekend of the three Avatar motion pictures, the newest installment in James Cameron’s epic sci-fi franchise held its place throughout its second and third weekends regardless of competitors from main Christmas releases together with Marty Supreme and Anaconda.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Avatar: Fireplace and Ash is projected to earn a 3-day whole between $21 and $24 million on the home field workplace by the tip of its fourth weekend in theaters. This will likely be greater than sufficient for it to take No. 1 for the fourth weekend in a row.

In doing so, 2025’s Avatar: Fireplace and Ash follows within the footsteps of each of its predecessors. 2009’s Avatar and 2022’s The Manner of Water remained No. 1 on the home field workplace for seven straight weekends.

Fireplace and Ash has managed to high the chart regardless of competitors from two incoming new releases, that are the primary main large releases of 2026. These titles can be Paramount’s new killer chimpanzee thriller Primate and the Gerard Butler-led post-apocalyptic thriller Greenland 2: Migration.

Of these two new launch titles, Primate is the clear winner. It’s projected to earn roughly $11 million, which sees it locked in a neck-and-neck battle for No. 2 with the Sydney Sweeney thriller The Housemaid ($10.6 million) and Disney’s billion-dollar animated hit Zootopia 2 ($11 million).

Greenland 2 is trailing behind all three of these titles with a projected $8.5 million debut. Whereas the film comes with a reported manufacturing finances of $90 million, Lionsgate acquired the film for home distribution for simply $10 million, so it is on monitor for in regards to the stage of efficiency that they appear to have anticipated.

Moreover, the unique Greenland was a 2020 title that had a compromised theatrical launch as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, so its core viewership may very properly be the at-home viewers that can come into play when it debuts on VOD, bodily media, streaming, and tv.

Whereas neither it nor Primate may topple Avatar: Fireplace and Ash, it stays to be seen if subsequent weekend’s debuting title, the horror sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple can achieve this. 2025’s 28 Years Later had a home debut of $30 million, so if the brand new installment follows in its footsteps, it may deliver a untimely finish to the James Cameron film’s streak.
