Director James Cameron is back with biggest and longest “Avatar” movie yet, “Fire and Ash.” Taking place shortly after the events of 2022’s “The Way of Water,” “Fire and Ash” ups the stakes even further, bring massive battles between the Na’vi and humans, and introduces the series’ scariest villain yet.

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).

Fans of the "Avatar" franchise will have to wait a few years to see the next two installments, if they happen at all.

Avatar: Fire and Ash kicked off with a $88 million domestic debut — meaning the blockbuster soared above its rival releases of Sydney Sweeney’s thriller The Housemaid and Angel Studios’ animated musical David, but fell short of its projected $100 million mark.

Jake Sully and his family face dangerous new enemies in Fire and Ash, but fortunately they have help from the real hero of the Avatar franchise.

No, “Avatar: Fire and Ash” does not have a post-credits scene. Neither 2009’s “Avatar” or 2022’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” had post-credit scenes and the third film follows that same lead.

Fire and Ash continued its strong theatrical run through the weekend, delivering steady growth at the Indian box office while posting a massive global opening.

Given this all takes place after the events of Fire and Ash, the game therefore confirms that Quaritch survives. He appears to be licking his wounds following the latest defeat, but he’s clearly still aligned with Varang and her legion of followers.
