This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to close its fifth weekend in theaters by hitting a cumulative global box office total of $1.3 billion. While its expected international grosses for the weekend have yet to be fully calculated, a 4-day total of $17.6 million over the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday weekend at the domestic box office is helping it hit this major milestone.

This will see 2025’s Avatar: Fire and Ash taking just one weekend to surge past the overall global grosses of three other Disney hits, namely Incredibles 2 ($1.243 billion), 2017’s Beauty at the Beast ($1.266 billion), and Frozen ($1.286 billion), to land at No. 25 on the chart of the Top 25 highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide.
