What Reddit Noticed First: The Social Post That Kicked Off the Trailer Frenzy

Reddit vs Reality: Why “Domestic” Isn’t the Whole Story for Avatar
A classic box office trap is focusing only on U.S./Canada numbers. The Avatar franchise is built to travel: long legs in international markets, massive premium-format attendance, and a heavy overseas split. That pattern is happening again here, with international making up roughly three-quarters of the gross so far.
Domestic weekend grosses so far
| Weekend | Dates | Weekend Gross | Domestic Total After Weekend |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Dec 19–21, 2025 | $89,160,860 | $89,160,860 |
| #2 | Dec 26–28, 2025 | $63,087,667 | $216,914,790 |
| #3 | Jan 2–4, 2026 | $41,419,407 | $307,677,102 |
| #4 | Jan 9–11, 2026 | $21,502,272 | $342,792,800 |
The big story is the hold. Even with a smaller domestic opening than the previous film, the holiday corridor can stretch a big title’s run, especially when IMAX/3D/Dolby showings stay in demand.
What Reddit Watches Overseas: Top International Markets So Far
Here are some of the biggest individual international markets contributing to the total right now. (These are country totals, not “international” as one lump sum.)

| Germany | $73,841,448 |

| Mexico | $36,541,436 |
Reddit’s Favorite New Face: Varang (and the Fire & Ash Aesthetic)

One consistent driver of conversation is the new clan introduction and how it changes the franchise’s visual language. Whether you love the direction or not, it’s doing what the marketing needs: creating “must see it on the biggest screen” energy.
What Reddit Thinks Will Happen Next: Milestones Worth Watching
- $1.25B worldwide: already essentially here.
- $1.3B worldwide: the next clean headline number, likely driven by international and weekend holds.
- $400M domestic: a psychological milestone in North America as weekday drops settle into a steadier pattern.
- China legs: even small week-to-week holds in China can matter a lot because the base is so big.
The next few weekends usually answer the “legs” question: does it behave like a typical blockbuster that fades after the holidays, or does it stay in the conversation long enough to keep premium screens and keep stacking international totals?
