Fire and Ash" on openning weekend, to help you decide whether to watch it in theaters, wait for streaming or skip.

"Avatar: Fire and Ash" is now in theaters, but when will viewers be able to watch the sequel at home? Here’s why those hoping to stream the film may be in for a longer wait than expected.

“Avatar: Fire and Ash” opened with $345 million in worldwide sales, according to studio estimates Sunday, notching the second-best global debut of the year and potentially putting James Cameron on course to set yet more blockbuster records.

It’s an intriguing argument—even though they’re some of the highest-grossing movies ever (currently number 1 and number 3 ever, not adjusting for inflation), when have you last heard somebody talk about these movies?

While $88 million would normally be considered a slow start for a movie on the scale of "Fire and Ash," the box-office run for "Avatar" movies tends to be a marathon, not a sprint. The series is known for having significant staying power in theaters for several weeks.

The Christmas event pic may be coming in on the lower end of expectations, but his films always enjoy unheard of multiples (hence why Cameron lays claim to three of the top four-grossing films of all time).

Avatar: Fire and Ash' actor Oona Chaplin plays Varang and nearly changed her name because she's Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter.

Boo, hiss, etc. A dash of fun news came out of the big-screen death knell; Taika Waititi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Freida Pinto and Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan will all voice characters in the movie. But now it’s straight-to-streaming on Paramount Plus, to be packaged as a lead-in to the debut of Safe Havens.
