It was a huge Christmas holiday weekend, with Avatar: Fire and Ash having a strong second week hold and the top 7 movies all making over $10 million.
Avatar: Fire and Ash only dropped 28% from last weekend, making another $64 million domestically and bringing its total to $217.6 million. Worldwide, it has made $762.4 million total and is the seventh-highest-grossing film of the year. Domestically, Fire and Ash is slightly ahead of The Way of Water for the second weekend, but about $10 million below where the first Avatar was, although Fire and Ash has made around $5 million more total. The movie should continue to perform well through the New Year and into early 2026, as there’s little competition in the massive blockbuster market it’s in.
Zootopia 2Â surged back into second place, likely driven by school closures ahead of and after the holidays, and added another $20 million, bringing its domestic total to $321.3 million and its worldwide total to $1.4 billion.
Marty Supreme, after a massive limited release last weekend, had one of the biggest wide-release weekends for A24 with $17.7 million. That puts it between Civil War and Hereditary.  The movie got a B+ CinemaScore, so we’ll have to see how it holds going into the new year. It has a domestic total of $28.4 million so far.
The Housemaid and Anaconda rounded out the top 5.  The Housemaid dropped just 19% from last weekend, adding another $15.3 million, bringing its domestic total to $46.3 million. Anaconda debuted with a weekend total of $14.5 million and a total domestic gross of $23.5 million. Adjusted for inflation, the original 1997 Anaconda grossed $40.9 million in its opening weekend and ended its worldwide run at $337.5 million. 2025’s Anaconda has a worldwide gross of $43.3 million.
Further down the list, Song Sung Blue opened in eighth place with $7 million for the weekend and a domestic total so far of $11.4 million. It earned an A CinemaScore, and its focus on Neil Diamond music suggests it’s targeting an older audience that may continue to trickle in over the next few weeks.
No Other Choice, from director Park Chan-wook, had the best per-theater average of the weekend, making $25,589 in each of the 13 theaters it played in.
