Even ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ can’t lift 2025 box office out of pandemic-crisis doldrums - Los Angeles Times
Google News • 12/29/2025 – 12/30/2025
Summary
In 2025, the box office struggled to recover from pandemic-related challenges, with even "Avatar: Fire and Ash" failing to significantly boost cinema revenues. Despite "Avatar 3" dominating the Christmas box office with $88 million and a global total of $760 million, the overall performance of cinemas remained disappointing. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" did manage to perform well for a second consecutive weekend.
