Avatar 3 continues to rule box office as Marty Supreme and The Housemaid do decent

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"It's been just over a week since Avatar: Fire and Ash opened in theaters, and it continues to prop up the box office. The third film in James Cameron's sci-fi fantasy franchise was released just before the holidays, opening to $345 million worldwide in its first three days. It has since added a global total of $415 million, bringing its total to $760 million after the four-day Christmas holiday, according to Box Office Mojo."

"While the film's current box office takings trail behind its 2022 predecessor, which, after two weekends, had made around $850 million globally, it's still expected to earn $1 billion by the end of the third weekend. The first Avatar (2009) remains the biggest blockbuster of all time, with a lifetime global box office total of $2.9 billion. Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) takes the third spot with $2.3 billion globally."

The Independent sends reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries while refusing to lock content behind paywalls and relying on donations. The outlet emphasizes trust across the political spectrum and the importance of funding frontline journalism to present multiple perspectives. Avatar: Fire and Ash opened to $345 million worldwide in its first three days and reached $760 million after the four-day Christmas holiday, adding $415 million during that period and still projecting to earn $1 billion by the end of its third weekend. The franchise's earlier films hold billion-dollar totals, and James Cameron has expressed uncertainty about the saga's future continuation.
