James Cameron's threequel achieved the milestone Saturday at the New Year weekend box office, while other notable holiday victors include 'Zootopia 2,' sleeper hit 'The Housemaid' and Timothée Chalamet's 'Marty Supreme.
Once again, Cameron has proven that betting against Avatar is a losing game. When the dust settles, Fire and Ash won’t just be remembered as a successful sequel; it's just another in a long line of movies that the King of the Box Office has taken on headfirst — and taken down with his bare hands.
Lionsgate’s The Housemaid is currently claiming third with $12M+ at 3,070 theaters, -22%, after a $4.6M Friday. Total by Sunday for the Paul Feig directed thriller, Hidden Pictures production is $72.8M, which will be far past the filmmaker’s previous Lionsgate black comedy, A Simple Favor, which ended its stateside run at $53.5M.
In three weeks of release, “Fire and Ash” has cleared $1 billion worldwide. The third chapter in James Cameron’s Pandora epic collected $40 million over its third weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The Ubisoft-developed game reached a new peak after the release of an expansion tie-in to the blockbuster movie.
