• It collected USD 88 million domestically (US/Canada) and USD 257 million internationally, with strong China performance.
• The film underperformed compared to its predecessor, "Avatar: The Way of Water" (USD 441 million), and other 2025 releases like "Zootopia 2" and "Barbie".
• In India, it garnered Rs 67.25 crore nett, facing tough competition from Ranveer Singh's "Dhurandhar".
